Shapechanger. The garou can use its action to polymorph into a wolf-humanoid hybrid or into a wolf, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Keen Hearing and Smell. The garou has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Quills (Wolf or Hybrid Form Only). A creature that touches the garou or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 7 (2d6) piercing damage. Additionally, at the start of each of its turns, the garou deals 7 (2d6) piercing damage to any creature grappling it.

Regeneration. The garou regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the garou takes fire damage or bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a silvered attack, this trait doesn't function at the start of the garou's next turn. The garou dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Standing Leap. The garou's long jump is up to 40 feet and its high jump is up to 20 feet, with or without a running start.

Magic Weapons. The garou's weapon attacks are magical.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. In wolf form, the garou makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws. In humanoid form, it makes three greataxe attacks. In hybrid form, it can attack like a wolf or a humanoid.

Bite (Wolf or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy.

Claws (Wolf or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage.

Greataxe (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (2d12 + 7) slashing damage.


The varangjar are already giant-sized Russ men who fight for the emperor, sometimes with no armor, wielding their mighty greataxes in battle. It is said these mighty guardians can turn into hulking beasts when they rage but few have seen this and lived.
