Can a Druid Wild Shape into a Werewolf?

A druid can not wild shape into a werewolf as per the rules in the PHB, since werewolves are classified as monstrosities and druids can only transform into beasts. The wild shape feature allows druids to transform into various beasts for combat or exploration, but it does not include monstrosities like werewolves.
