Wereman

Wereman is a lycanthropic enemy from The Ice Age with 36 HP, 4 movement, and a multi-hit melee attack. It specializes in jump-attacks that allow it to leap at units in range, and its final strike in each combo delivers Knockup 3 — sending the target airborne and leaving them unable to act. Its attacks have cleave properties, hitting multiple adjacent units with each swing. Notably, Wereman has a deep hatred of Cavemen and will preferentially target them whenever they are in range.

Wereman spawns when a Caveman is attacked by either a Sabertooth Cat or a Sabertooth Kitten, suggesting a transformation or summoning event tied to inter-faction combat. Its origin as a transformed Caveman gives it the same faction hatred but a dramatically increased combat profile. The Knockup 3 on its finishing strike makes it particularly disruptive, as a cat that gets launched loses their next action entirely.

If Sabertooth Cats are present in the same encounter as Cavemen, expect a Wereman to spawn from any Caveman that takes damage from them. The Wereman's faction hatred can be exploited — position the remaining Sabertooth enemies to draw Wereman's aggression away from your cats. With 36 HP and multi-hit cleave, it is tough enough that status effects and DoT damage are valuable for wearing it down while avoiding the Knockup finishing combo.
