Like you needed an excuse...

Side Note: In TD, there are four elements: Cold (Water), Fire (Fire), Shock (Air), and Sonic (Earth). In TD, Acid is not an element, it's just Acid.

So... does their DR applies? That would definitely different from other D&Ds. Or do they not have DR in TD, just regeneration?


Damage Reduction
A creature with this special quality ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective). The creature takes normal damage from energy attacks (even nonmagical ones), spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. A certain kind of weapon can sometimes damage the creature normally, as noted below.

Jeff has not revealed the details of any lycanthropic monsters beyond what is in the Quick Token Reference and his posts here on the forums. Based on my past experience with TD, I would be surprised if he revealed any more that what he has already discussed. Jeff tends to keep module and monster details a secret.

Just a reminder (to everyone, this isn't directed specifically at Alvis), though TD is based on D&D, it is not D&D. If lycanthropes have certain properties in D&D, they may not have those properties in TD. Part of the fun in going through the adventure is discovering the various monster "abilities".
