Media
Lucas Olah of TheGamer said of the Jackalwere, "They also come with the fun little twist of being regular animals who were transformed rather than the regular lycanthropy."[5]
Conversely, Tallis Spalding of TheGamer wrote, "The Jackalwere is an interesting monster because they aren’t all that malicious if your party is aware of their presence since they can give them an offering for passing through their territory. However, if your party opts not to provide a gift or treasure for passing through, they can pull any number of tricks."[6]
