Werewolf Roles

Every role in this Werewolf game, 35 in all, grouped by side. Open a role to read its ability, what the Seer and the Medium see, how it counts toward winning, how many can sit at a table and the settings you can choose.

The 6 roles in the default table

If you change nothing in the lobby, these roles are dealt to suit the number of players (the number of werewolves and the roles that join depend on how many people play). Turn "More roles" to "Pick" in the lobby to add any of the others one at a time.

How to read a role page

• Side: whether the role wins with the Villagers, the Werewolves, the Foxes or a third side.
• What the Seer and Medium see: whether the role shows as "Werewolf" or "Not a werewolf". Some roles look different from the side they are really on.
• How it counts: when the werewolves are compared with everyone else, which group the role is counted in.
