The Doctor in Werewolf

Each night the Doctor protects one player from the werewolves' attack.

How the Doctor works

When called, the Doctor picks one player to protect. If the werewolves attack that player, nobody dies that night.

The Doctor can protect themselves, but not the same player two nights in a row, so they can't shield one person forever.

Playing Mafia? The Doctor is called the Doctor there. See all the Mafia roles.

“Doctor, open your eyes. Choose one player to protect tonight.” … “Doctor, close your eyes.”

The full script for every role is on the narrator script page.

Protect a revealed Seer. A Seer who survives a second night usually wins the game.
Protect yourself on nights when you've been loud. Wolves go after players who are steering the vote.
Never reveal yourself early. A known Doctor is an easy target.

A night with no deaths means the Doctor (or the Witch) saved someone. Think about who the wolves probably attacked.

Protecting yourself every possible night. The rule against repeats exists, and the village needs you to save others.

Can the Doctor save themselves?

Yes, but not on two nights in a row.

What happens if the Doctor and the Witch both save the victim?

The victim lives either way; nothing extra happens.
