In 5e a werewolf is a powerful monster, and whilst a mighty hero might be able to defeat them with relative ease, even they cannot just casually swat them left and right, and must put some effort in the killing.In broad sense that is fine. But I don't think this means the game must be produce the exact same narrative than a book down to blow to blow detail. And I also submit that these were hyenas from the book are more analogous to gnolls than to werewolves in D&D. They are hyenas, they appear in a large group and most importantly they're easily injured by perfectly normal damage, no magic or silver required. And a high level barbarian or fighter in D&D 5e indeed can defeat 20 gnolls, and even oneshot some of them. So I'd say the game can produce similar enough fiction that the condition is satisfied.It is not codified at all, it just completely to whims of the GM. So it is not really relational in any measurable sense, it is about the narrative role of the minions in the story.</blockquote>
