Bisclavret

Long believed to be a creature of the Eclipse like the other Spawn of the Dark Watchers, the bisclavret is, in fact, entirely its own creature — it is simply intelligent enough to cloak its murders among those of other monsters.
Normally they appear as regular humans, but they can transform into terrible gangly fanged horrors with razor sharp claws and terrible strength. They are said to resemble bipedal wolves or wolverines, and are known to be vicious and cruel. They can be killed with conventional weapons, but silver and silversteel both have more of an effect on them, seeming to burn their flesh at the touch. A silver bullet embedded deep within the creature will almost certainly cause it to die in agony.
A point of contention however is whether or not the Bisclavret itself is hostile by nature, or if those who attack humans are simply rabid, or embittered against man. If there are peaceful creatures of this sort, they keep their distance from humans well... Or perhaps they are everywhere, and simply confine their transformations to private.
Their bite is infectious, and a man infected with lycanthropy has a significant chance of becoming one himself. Even a righteous man can be overtaken by the pain and the hunger, and become one of these creatures. It is unclear how, or even if Bisclavrets breed.
