[Before 3.x and the development of the template, lycanthropes weren’t assumed to be created from any humanoid. Some things that got lumped into the lycanthrope tent, like seawolves and werefoxes, had various magical powers or monstrous forms that the template version doesn’t cover. Alternatively, some monsters, like the pteramen from Forgotten Realms, could be covered handily with the template, but weren’t when they got updated to 3.0.
Incidentally, a number of the official Pathfinder lycanthropes cheat a bit. Werebats, werecrocs and weresharks from Bestiary 4 all should be Large in their hybrid forms. In addition, if we’re following the RAW, the werebat shouldn’t be able to fly, or the werecroc to swim. But stripping those movement abilities is kind of dumb. I’ve cheated here not with the size, but with giving the hybrid a fly speed, and with keeping the natural armor high in the hybrid form. I figure that, like the ability scores, it should be based on whichever natural armor is higher.]
Lycanthrope, Werepteranodon
CR 4 CN Humanoid
This reptilian humanoid has an oversized beaked head, with a crest growing from the back, and great leathery wings.
Werepteranodons are sometimes referred to as pterafolk. They are most commonly found among lizardfolk communities, where they may be a secret society among the culture. Initiation into these societies, through infection with lycanthropy, is seen as a great honor. Werepteranodons are typically high spirited and quarrelsome, and lizardfolk communities with a large pterafolk population are likely to be aggressive and expansionistic in a way that others may not be. A werepteranodon prefers to fight with its natural weapons in hybrid form whenever possible, although they do carry javelins for aerial assaults. Lizardfolk werepteranodons have shorter tails than their brethren, and the tails disappear almost completely in hybrid form.
