A werewolf’s true form is its humanoid form, which is the form it takes when it is not transformed into a wolf-humanoid hybrid or a wolf. In this form, the werewolf’s statistics remain the same as in its other forms, except for its AC, and it retains any equipment it was wearing or carrying, but reverts to its true form if it dies.

A werewolf can use its action to polymorph into a wolf-humanoid hybrid or into a wolf, or back into its true form, which is humanoid.
