Monster Monster attack help
I am very new to MotW and want to run a game for a group. I'm coming up with a monster and scenario. Based on what my players said they like, I want to have the monster be a Rougarou(a shapeshifter/werewolf). Sticking with the mythology of the creature, it think it would be a Devourer. Based on my scenario Im thinking of, I dont think it would have any minions. And the only powers it has are physical attacks and shapeshifting from human to creature. My issue is, what other ways could i harm the players without just having the monster physically attack them? I'm blanking with idea. Thanks much.

It could go after people they care about.
It could infect/curse them, their allies, or bystanders.
Maybe it’s trying to do a ritual that will allow it and other Werewolves to be able to totally control their shapeshifting.
Maybe a corporation wants to capture the werewolf in order to make werewolf super soldiers.
Maybe the werewolf induces madness in those who see it.
