Traits

Keen Smell

The werebear has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Shapechanger

The werebear can use its action to polymorph into a Large bear-humanoid hybrid or into a Large bear, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
