{{Quote|Text=Werewolf is an Action-Night card. During the day he's just a {{Card|Smithy}}, but at Night, he shows his vicious side. In your Action phase you can play Werewolf and draw 3 cards; in your Night phase you can play Werewolf and Hex everyone. Okay? It doesn't feel tricky to me but I am making sure here. As with [[Boon]]s, a word on the card needs to tell you to shuffle up the Hexes, and that word is Doom. That makes Werewolf an Action - Night - Attack - Doom card. The {{Card|Courtier|Courtiers}} all like {{Card|Dame Josephine}}, but they like Werewolves too. | {{Quote|Text=Werewolf is an Action-Night card.

Werewolf is an Action-Night-Attack-Doom card from Nocturne. It's a terminal draw card during the day (i.e., your Action phase), but can also be saved for the Night to inflict Hexes on your opponents. It is the only card with a full pile to have four card types.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- Werewolf can be played in either your Action phase or Night phase.
- If played in your Action phase, you draw three cards; if played at Night, each other player receives the next Hex.
Other rules clarifications
- As always, a card with multiple types retains those types in all contexts. For instance, when you play Werewolf in the Action phase (so it doesn’t attack), it’s still an Attack card and activates other players’ Diplomats and so on. And when you play it in the Night phase, it’s still an Action card, so you can call Royal Carriage to repeat the Hexing, for example.
- If you have abilities to resolve at the start of your turn, it is considered part of your Action phase, and you cannot end it. This means if you play Werewolf at the start of your turn (with e.g, Delay), you cannot skip to your Night phase and give out a Hex.
Strategy
In an engine deck Werewolf becomes useful because if you draw your entire deck, and still have Werewolves left over, you can use them in the Night phase. In Big Money games, Werewolf functions as a soft terminal, allowing your deck to sustain more of them than similar draw cards such as Smithy or Margrave. Finally in tight races for victory points, giving your opponent Misery or curses may be the difference between victory and defeat.
