Qutrub

A qutrub (literally: thief, grafter, imp, dog-human, wolf-human[1]) in Arabian folklore is a type of jinn or demon, likened to an "Arabian 'werewolf'",[2] similar to a ghoul because it was said to haunt graveyards and eat corpses.

The qutrub also appear as monsters in the role-playing game Final Fantasy XI.
