Werewolf

Werewolf is the biggest nyctophilic monster.

Appearance
Werewolves resemble large, nearly hairless, scrawny wolves with unusually long limbs. They can stand on their hind legs like a human, but prefer to run on all fours. They have short tails, kind of big heads, piercing yellow eyes, very strong jaws filled with sharp teeth and quite big ears. Their feet and palms look like a cross between dog paw and a human hand. They also possess sharp claws.

Behavior
Like every nyctophile, werewolves are very dangerous to humans. They sometimes even gather in packs to hunt down their prey. Despite their scrawny appearance, werewolves are very strong. To incapacitate prey, they reach out with their long arms and claw at them. Then, they aim for the throat with their teeth. They rarely fight other nyctophiles.

They let out chilling howls to communicate.

Myths
Werewolves passed through gateways to normal world few times. (Most) Humans don't believe in werewolves, but they like to fantasise about them. They think werewolves are people who shapeshift at full moon - this is of course, untrue. They also like to portray them as majestic creatures, while in reality, they are pretty monstrous.
