A Werewolf
Morgoth originally produced Werewolves by magically altering his minions' forms so that they became huge, enchanted Wolves. He created others by placing undead spirits in the bodies of great Wargs.
The greater Werewolves were Maia-Spirits of great power while the lesser Werewolves - or true Wargs - were but mighty undead beasts.
These creatures could alter their form so that they were able to stand upright and use their clawlike hands, but they couldn't transform themselves into Men. While Werewolves possessed the intelligence of the Secondborn — and though they would speak, use tools, and cast spells — they remained Wolf-like in their nature. Only a few maiarin Werewolves still possessed the ability to change their form into a more human-like appearance.

In MERP, the Term Werewolf is also sometimes applied to mannish-werewolves, shapeshifters or beastmen, created by Dark Magical experiments.
