Wait, what? ... Oh. No, "strained" is actually pretty good for werewolves. Most of the lupines I've met don't really like anybody much. I was kind of proud of myself for having an extended meeting with a couple of them once that didn't end with us fighting each other.

Yeah, no, they're pretty much human-level all the time as far as I can tell. Bloodthirsty, but not animals. So probably not likely to show up as monsters here if that's likely. I was just going by the way you talked about them fixating on wreaking havoc.
