The werewolf’s long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 20 feet, with or without a running start. Keen Hearing and Smell. The werewolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the werewolf fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Magic Weapons. The werewolf’s attacks are magical. Pounce (Hybrid Form Only).
