Combat
Curse (Su)
Any creature bitten by a waterwolf who fails a DC 13 Will save falls under a curse whereby on the following new moon, that character transforms into a waterwolf, as per polymorph rules. He or she also changes alignment to chaotic evil. A successful break enchantment or remove curse spell along with a caster level check DC 15 restores the character to their true race. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Change Shape (Su)
A waterwolf's natural form resembles that of a wolf-headed seal, but it can assume two other forms as well: humanoid (usually human) or a humanoid-hybrid form. The humanoid form is always unique; that is to say that the waterwolf cannot assume the appearance of any humanoid creature he or she desires, but always the same appearance and traits (much the same as a lycanthrope).
A waterwolf remains in one form until it chooses to assume a new form. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does a waterwolf change shape when killed. A waterwolf's natural form is revealed by a true seeing spell.
Hold Breath (Ex)
A waterwolf can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution score x 6 before risk of drowning.
