The jackalwere is a malign foe of humankind, a jackal able to assume the form of a man. In this guise they roam about seeking to waylay and murder humans. They then steal their riches and eat the slain victims.
Jackalwere will sometimes (20%) be found with normal jackals.
Its gaze will have the effect of a sleep spell on any unsuspecting creature which fails its saving throw versus magic. Note: a hostile creature is not unsuspecting!
The jackalwere can use human weapons.
