Lycanthropes in DnD 3.5: https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/...ngALycanthrope
the following abilities apply to DDO with some adaptation

+2 wisdom
+2 natural armor
DR/Silver
attack with natural weapons
curse of lycanthropy: bestows disease on hit (I could see victims dazed or confused)
animal empathy
low-light vision + scent => +2 spot
free feat: Iron Will

lycans in form should be eligible for animal-only buffs

One interesting aspect of lycanthropy in PnP is that you cannot cast spells. Not sure how/if you want to handle this.
