You should have found a dagger prior to that encounter that will damage it. Also, they wouldn't give you an encounter and not have the solution somewhere close at hand. You just have to find it. Have your fighters keep the beast busy and look around.
There is another weapon that you could have bought prior to going to the island, but if you don't have that yet, you have to rely upon the dagger and the other weapon.
All weapons are ineffective except for Kondar (The Bastard Sword +1, +3 vs. Shapeshifters) which is found in baldur's gate from Aldeth Sashenstar's quest (trading coster questline) I believe, the +1 Flametoung longsword from Durlags Tower, the Silver Dagger, found on the level just below Karoug (the greater wolfwere), and the Sword of Balduran which is in a chest in the room behind him.
Good tactics are to hold him at bay with your tanks (with said weapons equipped) and nuke the crap out of him with wands of frost/wands of the heavens. If none of your tanks are proficient in longsword, bastard swords, or dagger or you don't have any of those weapons it takes a little more wand useage. I believe Dorn's poison weapon ability will still function on him, the poison will damage him even though the weapon will not. If he is consistantly saving against your spells fire a doom or malison his way.
Edit: If you don't have any wands or any mage's I'm pretty sure you can cast a quantum f-ton of Glyphs of Warding on the ground on the level below his and then lure him into them. They will persist so you can cast as many as you can then sleep and repeat the process til you have enough to take him out.
The adds are very easy but when you can't kill the guy an he just sits there paralyzed is odd!
Use the dagger you find on the island along with the sword in the room. Equip them to your strongest melee fighter and buff him beyond his wildest dreams. The fight should be a cakewalk after that.
Despite his massive regen, Karoug only has about 66 hp if memory serves. A couple quick crit/back stabs is all you need.
But it is interesting to note that there are several NPCs that are proficient in Dagger. Unless I miss my guess, Jaheira and Shar-Teel are both proficient and good front liners. I want to say that Montaron also has proficiency (or should do considering). That's a decent number of people whom the player might potentially have available to use the dagger. It's actually the Sword of Balduran that has lesser chance of having someone proficient in.
PS: I "Think" that wand of paralysis works on Karoug, which should buy the player time to find the sword. Ya just got to get it and throw it to someone who can use it, presumably identifying it on the way.
Besides, if everyone is dead, who is going to do your bidding and worship you?
Just saying, there's a difference between playing a murderous psychopath and playing Evil. The former is probably the latter, but the latter isn't necessarily the former.
That was the one battle in BG EE where I just couldn't figure it out until I checked a guide.
