    A Rougarou is a person burdened with a wolf-headed or wolf-bodied curse in the swamps and bayous. Some inherit it, some earn it through broken religious obligation, and some pass it to whoever spills their blood and reveals the secret. The creature hunts through reeds and shallow water while the human mind struggles to control what the curse considers hunger.

    Special Attack

    Bayou Pounce: slashing, melee 5 ft, +6 to hit, 3d8+5. If the Rougarou moved through water or brush first, the target makes a Quick save or falls down.

    Special Defense

    Secret Kept: a creature that learns the human identity and keeps it unspoken gains +2 Mind against the curse. Drawing blood and announcing the name risks transferring the curse at the DN's discretion.
