The Threatening Presence trait and the Big Bad Wolf temperament are perfect for lone wolves.
Refined Lupine

Refined Lupines turn their noses up at the thought of losing control of their Fury, passively generating less of it over time.
Chomp Champion
To unlock the Chomp Champion reward trait, you need to complete the milestones associated with the Wildfang Renegate Aspiration.
Sims turned into werewolves by Chomp Champions won’t negatively react to being turned, and they’ll want to join the Chomp Champion’s pack too!
Lunar Link
You can unlock the Lunar Link trait after completing the Cure Seeker Aspiration. Some of the ingredients necessary to make the cure can only be harvested during the Full Moon.
Sims with a Lunar Link retain the special benefits of the Lunar Cycle they once felt as Werewolves, and can still Howl just like old times!
Friend of the Wildfangs
You can unlock the Friend of the Wildfangs trait by befriending the Alpha of the Wildfangs. Ask them to become a friend of the pack. If they accept, you’ll instantly unlock this trait.
You can also visit the pack’s hangout, and interact with other pack members in unique ways.
Friend of the Moonwood Collective
You can unlock the Friend of the Moonwood Collective trait by befriending the Alpha of Moonwood Collective.
You will also unlock new ways to interact and communicate with the members of the pack.
Werewolf Ally
You can unlock the Werewolf Ally trait by reading Beyond Big & Bad: Rethinking Harmful Werewolf Stereotypes. You can find this book at the local Millwood library.
Dormant Wolf & Greater Wolf Blood
The Dormant Wolf and Greater Wolf Blood traits are randomly inherited from werewolf parents.
When both parents are werewolves, it doesn’t automatically mean their child will also be born as a werewolf. Sometimes, the child may instead be born as a dormant wolf.
They have the potential to become a werewolf later in life, but their werewolf abilities are not active from birth.
To activate your dormant wolf and transform into a full-fledged werewolf, follow these steps:
Wait until your dormant wolf is a teenager and have them swim in Lake Lunvik on a full moon night to unlock their werewolf abilities.
The Greater Wolf Blood trait indicates that the moon has bestowed upon your Sim a blessing that enhances their development as a werewolf.
