Q67:Anyone mind giving me a suggestion on a lycanthrope(ignoring racial HD)?
TRex / Rhino are solid core only choices. Splatbooks offer more.
If you can be huge, consider
-Dire Polar Bear from Frostburn offers massive 39 Str
-Dragonhawk from Five Nations flies at 120 ft. (26 Str)
If you can be gargantuan, there's
-Dire Elephant (MM2), 40 Str, trample
-Spinosaurus (MM2), 36 Str, frightful presence, improved grab, swallow whole, trample
-Roc, fly speed 80 ft; 34 Str
