According to this wonderful site, It can be found in Dragon #135, pg.14
(for those of you interested, here is a similar site for Dungeon magazine)
For Dragon, I myself rely on The DragonDex. 
Whoa! Awesome site Wooly. Can't believe i havent heard of this before |

Greetings,
Statistics for Werecats may also be found in Lost Empires of Faerūn (pg. 180). |

In the Players Guide to Faerun Web Enhancement it gives 3.5 updates to the werecat stats "listed" in Mosters of Faerun, but I don't see the 3.0 stats in that book. Am I missing something here? |

Ah thanks, found it. Reading through the article (which is actually very late 1st ed.)it seems like it is a cat-were, not a werecat. The difference being that it is like the Jackalwere and Wolfwere, an animal able to take human shape. But it seems to me that it would be more correct to view it as more of a fiendish cat-creature, with its heritage and abilities to gate and plane shift. |

I believe that the Tibbit was introduced in a 2e issue of Dragon and was then converted to 3.5 in the Dragon Compendium.

And we have werecats in an official source too, Monster of Faerun 3.X. |

If there are Plush Golems (see Dragon Magazine 228), why not wererabbits?  |

Hmm... So that wererabbit I created ain't so far-fetched then? Good! My game-group had a riot with her!! And they still keep expecting her to pop up again sometime, lol!! |

I would suggest using the tibbit race in the Dragon Compendium as a basis for developing the were-tressym. |

The "Sisters of the Green" reference in the 2e FR "Book of Lairs" is just a passing one... Like one or two paragraphs, at most. I can send it to you, if you wish. |

Zireael, I've found some werecreatures and shapechangers organizations in my books: in the 3rd edition "Silver Marches", in the "Black Fury" adventure, there are the Claw Hollow lycanthropes, and in the 2e FR "Book of Lairs", in the "Thylacines" entry, there are the "Sisters of the Green". Have you checked these sources?

Since the were-beholder discussion in Ed's scroll, I've been tinkering with a few stat'd-possibilities for such beasties. They're nowhere near presentable at the moment, but it's been a lot of fun scouring the older D&D lycanthropic sources -- like Van Richten's Guide to Werebeasts -- for ideas I can borrow.  |

Sorry for somehow sidetracking Mr. Greenwood's questions thread. I only wanted an answer about the "true weredragons", and if they could be only legend. Hall of Heroes introduced a lot of new, interesting werecreatures.
However, I don't know if I like the werebeast versions of magical beasts... Song dragons are not really werecreatures, and even the mystical lythari, as magical as they can be, are only wolves, so for me they are exceptions to the rule. But were-tressym, were-beholders, were-cathshee, were-unicorns... I think I'd never use something like that in my campaigns!
For someone that plays the 2e, I even think that a druid turning into a magical beast - like the Rillifane Rallathil druids that can shapechange into animal forms AND cath shee - are overly powerful. Of course, in 3e there are druids and wizards, IIRC, that are shapechanging specialists... For them, maybe changing into a magical beast would work. It depends, of course, on how much magic you allow in your game table.
Personally, I like to limit magic in my game settings, and so heighten the sense of wonder of my players when dealing with arcane or divine matters. |

I demand full stats and fluff for the dreaded Were-Parsnip!
Marginally more seriously: I once had the distinguished honour of playing in a game (dunno if it was Realms or not) featuring a Were-Penguin. Somehow I doubt it was canonical in any published setting, but it was certainly amusing.
Actually being sensible now: Have Were-Ravens ever cropped up in the Realms? I know they flit about in Ravensloft, but how might one weave them into the grand tapestry of Faerun? |
