Doctor - kind of similar to bodyguard, designate a player to protect and has a chance (sometimes 100%) to save that player from death

Witness - can view a night kill once per game

Turncoat - if the wolves attack him he joins their side for remainder of game.

Assassin - can elect to kill another player once per game (night action).


Brutal Wolf - if this wolf is lynched they can designate one player to take out with them

Cunning Wolf - will appear as villager if lynched

In some games the wolves have the ability to convert, although that is usually restricted to once per game or once over a lengthy period of days.



That is a summary of a few of the roles that have made multiple appearances. There are a number of variants off of these, as well as some less common roles (lovers as one example, wolf seer as another). Sometimes there is a third faction (serial killer). Lots of different ways to tweak the roles, but the moderator generally strives for balanced sides.

IIRC, the "cunning wolf" role might be invisible to seer scans, but would appear as a wolf if lynched. At least that's what the ninja was last time.
