You can use the noun lycanthrope as a fancy way to talk about a werewolf or wolfman, or any other kind of mythical human-wolf creature.

Editor: Yeah, well, we could add "necropolis" to our definition of 墓地, since that's a "fancy way to talk about" a cemetery. But I'd regard it as gratuitous.

There are other synonyms for "werewolf", such as "loup-garou", but the more synonyms you add, the less succinct the definition will be. People who want "fancy" synonyms can always google "werewolf synonyms".
