Okay, maybe this is a lame question but I'm trying to construct a believable Ranger that fights werewolves, only my choices of Favored Enemies include Humanoid (Human), Magical Beast, Monstrous Humanoid whereas the MMI calls a werewolf Humanoid (Shapechanger) and there isn't a Favored Enemy for that. Should I just add in the Humanoid (Shapechager) as a missing Favored Enemy (with DM approval) or should I choose something from the list and if so, which one? I'm assuming here that, say, a half-elf, could indeed become a werewolf and therefore choosing Humanoid (Human) probably wouldn't cover my bets, plus, might not do anything as far as trying to catch a human who was in his wolf form. Unless, perhaps, the only solution is choosing Humanoid (Human) and Animal and letting the half-elf werewolves get away?

Also, only an Evil Ranger may choose his own race as a Favored Enemy... so if you're human, Humanoid (Human) might be out...

That was 3.0. 3.5 acknowledges that basically good humans might become rangers that specifically target human bandits, allowing non-evil characters to choose their own race as a favored enemy.
One of the 3.5 changes that I really approved of.

Only humanoids and giants can become lycanthropes (typically). The standard werewolf are humanoid (human). But that doesn't mean there are elven, orc or even halfling werewolves.
If you want to make sure you have your all your furry bases covered, you would have to ask your DM to allow Humanoid (shapechanger) to your list of favorite enemies.

If it's good enough for enchanted weapons (and it is; just check out the Shifter's Sorrow magical weapon) then it should be good enough for a Ranger. Talk to your DM, and make sure to point out the weapon, and see if he'll allow it.
I would.
Combined with Giants, you'd have just about every were-creature ever covered.
Good luck.
And that is located in which sourcebook?

Try the DMG.
Lan: May I also recommend the Lunar Huntsman PrC? It's a custom class I made for a book that never got published, one of my favorites. It's predicated on "lycanthrope" being a favored enemy.
