狼人 (Werewolf in Chinese -- langren in Mandarin)
The Japanese and Chinese use the same character for wolf, but the Japanese = wolf man, while the Chinese is the more gender-neutral wolf person. I'd guess that you could switch the man/person characters, and readers would still know what you mean in either language.
