* C'tarl C'tarl from ''OutlawStar'' are werecats with several intermediate forms (Fuzzy Space-Elf to [[CatGirl Cat Person]] to Buff Superpowered [[PettingZooPeople Cat Person]] to [[PantheraAwesome Giant Tiger]]) whose access are dependent on the presence and phase of a moon and on their own personal energy reserves.
* ''FruitsBasket'': The Sohma family is under a curse that causes InvoluntaryShapeshifting into animal form when hugged by members of the opposite sex that are not relatives. While not called werebeasts, each member has a single and unique alternate animal form. The animals are those of the EasternZodiac: rat, dog, tiger, rabbit, dragon (he actually turns into a seahorse), ox, snake, sheep, monkey, horse, pig and rooster; plus cat.
* Zoan fruits in ''OnePiece'' turn the recipents into werebeasts. They tend to be dangerous mass of muscle even if the template creature was relatively harmless (this is also a general tendency among werebeast. A werehamster can be as dangerous as a werewolf).
** Essentially, it depends on the user's own skills and creativity, as with all devil fruit users. Used properly, a devil fruit can enhance a person's already powerful skills. Used improperly, the person becomes overly dependent on that devil fruit and can easily be defeated by anyone who has actual fighting skills. Thus, if someone has an elephant zoan fruit, but is an average joe otherwise, they can be easily defeated by someone with a mouse zoan if the mouse zoan has more expertise. This is hilariously demonstrated by Kaku of CP9, a ''weregiraffe'' stronger than the actual ''werewolf'' in the group.
* Saiyans in ''DragonBall'' transform into giant rampaging monkeys when they see the light of a full moon. Cutting off their tails prevents this, but until they reach a certain age, it will grow back under said full moon.
* The manga ''{{Cowa}}'' has the main character who is a werekoala and also part vampire.
* Evangelion Unit-02 from RebuildOfEvangelion can "shed its human form" when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7NZESmjjJM given the secret password]] "The Beast".
* Blair from ''SoulEater'' is a cat that frequently takes a CatGirl form that looks mostly human except for her cat ears and tail.
* The chimeras in Manga/FullMetalAlchemist are combinations of animals, which can and does sometimes include humans. As the manga progresses, the humanoid chimeras go from being tragic abominations, to quirky mutants, to tough guys that[[VoluntaryTransformation can turn into even tougher beast-men]].

* The Marvel Universe features a few:
** "The Cat" was once just a costumed heroine, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra, who would go on to join The Avengers. Her costume was later inherited by Hellcat of TheDefenders. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand tends to depend on the writer. One day she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft, the next she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises).
** Ursa Major is a Russian superhero able to turn into a humanoid bear.
** Catseye was a member of the Hellions and was meant as an EvilCounterpart to {{New Mutant|s}} Wolvesbane.
* In Fred Perry's ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'', one of the main characters is one of the last Werecheetahs. Other weres include Lions, Tigers, Rats, and of course Wolves. Each subspecies is able to shift between human, animal, and a "Wolf-Man" styled hybrid form. All of the weres retain their rationality in each of their forms, although they need to learn to control their instincts during childhood. Although the weres are separate species, they are capable of spreading thirianthropy to Humans as a disease; they were originally created by a wizard as {{Super Soldier}}s before said wizard was betrayed. They have a HealingFactor for everything except attacks by another were, silver, magic, and Dwarven Steel.
* ''TangentComics'' has Wildcat, a teenage girl who transforms into a feral werecat when her handler says the word "Shazam".

* The fantasy novel ''The Shattered World'' takes a more true-to-folklore approach: its various werebeasts are humans who acquire their shapechanging powers through a spell, so they can take the shapes of animals. One of the protagonists is a werebear, and must periodically "release" the bear within, fearing it that will force its shape upon him if denied its freedom for too long. Werebeasts in this Verse are vulnerable to normal weapons, suffer TransformationTrauma, and [[spoiler:can never be cured if they've been shapechangers for longer than a few weeks.]]
* The ''KittyNorville'' novels has a number of different types of werebeast, including a were-jaguar and a were-seal. The rule is that the were-creature is always a predator, as Kitty explains to a caller on her radio show who suspects he is a were-alpaca.

* People who can turn into animals are one breed of Other in ''Literature/NightWatch''. {{Werewolves}} are always Dark, but the rest can apparently be of any alignment.
** Specifically, Dark shapeshifters can only take on a single animal form, chosen when they initiate. Meanwhile, Light shapeshifters are actually Magicians who are gifted with shapeshifting magic and can take on numerous forms along the same theme. As Light Others, Tiger Cub can shift into various big cats, while [[CaptainObvious Bear can take on bear forms.]]
* In ''TheSookieStackhouseMysteries'', there are a wide variety of "were's" able to turn into an assortment of animals. At least once a buffalo and an owl are seen. There are also "shifters", who are true therianthropes and can change into any animal form, but have a preferred default form they must change into on the full moon. Sookie's brother Jason is abducted and bitten by a were-panther, so he turns into a sort of panther-man at the full moon.
* The ''RiverOfDancingGods'' series has, in addition to werewolves and other common types of werecreatures, a variation simply called a "were", which transforms into whatever animal is nearest when the full moon takes effect.

* ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'': During the episode ''Film/{{Werewolf}}'' (fittingly enough) Mike gets bit/scratched by Crow and becomes a "were-crow".
* ''{{Dinosaurs}}'': In an [[HalloweenEpisode October 31st Episode]] Robbie scares Baby by telling him a story of becoming a were-caveman.
* ''BigWolfOnCampus'' has an episode has, in addition to werewolves, a French exchange student who was a werecat.
* The were-panthers in ''TrueBlood''.
** Unlike the books the show is based on, "wereism" is hereditary and cannot be transmitted by a bite. Despite this, Jason is abducted by a group of were-panthers and repeatedly bitten and [[RapeAsDrama raped]] in the hopes of producing viable were-children. Jason stays a human and gets over the rape pretty quickly, although the incident serves as a catalysm to his [[spoiler:relationship with Jessica.]]
** The series also shows that werewolves can interbreed with other supernatural beings. Specifically, Sam's LoveInterest is a Shifter like him (like werewolves but can turn into any animal), who has a daughter fathered by a werewolf. The mother hopes her daughter will become a Shifter.
* In ''Series/BloodTies'', a werejaguar takes revenge on a hunter that kills various types of werebeasts. It is implied that (as in the ''BloodBooks'' the series was based on) wereism is hereditary, rather than transmitted.
* Freya on ''Series/{{Merlin}}'' was a Druid girl cursed to turn into a winged werepanther at the stroke of midnight.
* In ''{{Grimm}}'' there are many people that have both a human form and a "creature" form, which have so far included werewolves, werebears, wereboars, wererats, satyrs, ogres, weresnakes, and weremice. There has been no indication of any limit to what "creatures" [[AllMythsAreTrue could be out there]]. And it is awesome.

* The music video "Thriller" by MichaelJackson has Michael turn into a werecat. He also changed to and from a panther in the hyperextended "Black or White" video.
* Similarly enough, the Bjork music video ''Hunter'' had her changing back and forth into a bear and back into herself. Although she seemed to be holding back her bear transformation.

[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
* Europe
** Bears (Russia)
** Boar (Greece and Turkey)
** Wolves (All over the place, naturally. Special mention goes to the werewolves of Russia and Scotland, which are thought of as being simply another "race" or "tribe" of people who happen to have the ability to turn into wolves, rather than witches who made a DealWithTheDevil)
* Asia
** Crocodile (Indonesia)
** Dog (New Guinea)
** Tiger (India, Malaysia, Borneo, China and Japan)
* Africa
** Crocodile (Egypt and Zambia)
** Hyena
** Jackal
** Leopard
* The Americas
** Bears (North America)
** Hare (North America)
** Jaguar (North/South America)
** River Dolphin/Boto Encantado (South America)
* Specific Example:
** In French-Canadian mythology, the therianthrope is usually a man who has failed to perform his religious duties for several years straight, often seven. They were then either cursed to take an animal form until freed, or only at night until freed. In most case, the curse can be broken by a neighbor pricking the were's skin with a needle. Legends have been recorded involving people turning into wolves (either full wolves, or a being with the normal form of a wolf but walking on two legs), dogs, hellhounds, cats, imps and at least one pig.
** In Japanese mythology, henge, a subset of youkai, are magical animals with {{Shapeshifting}} powers and human intelligence. They often assume human form and get into all kinds of mischief. Examples of henge should go on the {{Youkai}} page.
** The "Animal Wife" motif which has an animal shed its clothes and become a beautiful woman and often be taken as (or become) the wife of an ordinary human. This includes beings with specific names (Selkies in Iceland and Ireland, Swan-Maidens in Germany, Russia and other area off Europe), but most are just known by their animal form. Examples include Doves (Italy), Wolves (Croatia), Buffalo (Africa) and Cranes (Japan). It also has crossed over to other beings such as (in Japan) divine ones (Tennin, literally "Heavenly Being").
** The Native American Skin Walker is either a human sorcerer who can take animal form, or a spirit being of incredible power that can take various animal forms. The details vary, but they are considered to be one of the most evil of all monsters.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''DungeonsAndDragons'', as a big FantasyKitchenSink, collected a lot of variants. Generally, there are were-beasts and beast-weres ([[ShapeshifterDefaultForm default form]] is humanoid and beast respectively) who don't like each other. Many of them even have their own gods.
** ''D&D'' uses the term lycanthrope to refer to any sort of werecreature (though the second edition ''Monstrous Manual'' acknowledges the misnomer, and suggests "therianthrope" as an alternate name). There are multiple varieties of lycanthrope aside from the usual werewolves, werebears, wererats, wearboars, weretigers, dire wereboars (hill giants that turn into dire boars), and jackleweres. The 3.5 edition monster manual even has a template for any animal. They've always been able to take on the normal animal form and infect with a bite, but other details have cropped up with the evolution of the game, including the addition of a "hybrid" form equivalent to the Man-Wolf, the existence of natural lycanthropes in addition to infected ones, and the imposition of a whole new alignment (and personality) not just on the nonhuman forms but on the human(oid) as well. The most recent edition has the Lycanthrope template, allowing one to make were-''anything'' characters. Recent publications introduced the Shifter player race, descendants of humans and lycanthropes, who were effectively "lycanthrope-lite".
** ''{{Mystara}}'' has Chevall. The centaurs who turn into full horses at will and can be hurt only by silver or magical weapons and... that's all.
** ''Van Richten's Guide to Werebeasts'' is an AD&D 2nd Edition, ''{{Ravenloft}}'' book with a host of rules on werebeasts. Unlike most settings, lycanthropes in Ravenloft are almost universally evil, except for the LawfulGood wereravens.
** The tibbits, introduced originally in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine and reprinted in the ''Dragon Compendium'' book, qualify. Their humanoid form is small, with PointyEars and [[AnimalEyes cat eyes]], somewhat resembling [[{{hobbits}} halflings]]. They can turn cats at will.
** ''Dragon'' magazine also included a sillier variant in the form of the werehare. Among other things, the creature could only be harmed by magic weapons and [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail holy hand grenades]].
** The old ''Night Howlers'' supplement for the boxed set/Rules Cyclopedia edition of D&D actually presented rules for weres as player characters in the Known World (Mystara). Notably, actually acquiring the full powers and immunities of "normal monster" weres took time and experience points and the ability to transform into a hybrid "beast-man" form only came at fairly high level after that. The book also explained the ultimate cause of lycanthropy in the setting as a magical virus that escaped from an Alphatian lab in ancient times -- a literal case of {{A Wizard Did It}}.
* WarhammerFantasy has Werebears living in the [[GrimUpNorth Northlands]].
* ''MagicTheGathering'' has Werebears and Wererats.
** With Innistrad and its accompanying marinade of HammerHorror tropes come Werewolves.
* ''{{Rifts}}'' and other games in Palladium's ''Megaverse'' have them as multiple species, ranging from Wolves to Bears, and some of the big cats such as Werepanthers and Werejaguars.
* The TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness' ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', in addition to the titular werewolves, has 11 other breeds of shapeshifters, described in their own {{Splat}} books. Some examples include the Corax (were-ravens), Gurahl (were-bears), Bastet (were-cats), Rokea (were-sharks), Mokole (were-lizards), Kitsune (were-foxes), and Ananasi (were-spiders).
** The TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness also has [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheForsaken werewolves]], and provides tools to build just about any wereanimal you can think of (in ''Skinchangers'', ''Changing Breeds'' and ''War Against The Pure'').
* ''ArsMagica'' includes were-bears and were-lynxes.
* The ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' card game gives us a werepenguin, a werehamster and a weremuskrat. They are all oversized and sharp-toothed - even the penguin has fangs.
* In the ''GURPSSupers'' supplement ''Wild Cards'', Sewer Jack is a were-alligator.
* ''{{Exalted}}'' features the Lunars, who are technically werebeasts in that they have one totem animal they strongly identify with and can easily shift to -- but then again, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting they can shift into anything if they drink its heart's blood]]. Two of the signature Lunars (Red Jaws and Ma-Ha-Suchi) are technically werewolves, but if you go by signature characters alone, you've got wereowls, werecats, werebulls, wereorcas...

* In ''SonicUnleashed'', SonicTheHedgehog can turn into Sonic the ''Werehog'' at night. During his transformation, Sonic is a bigger, furrier, and werewolfish version of himself with huge stretchy arms. He's nowhere near as fast as he is in his normal form, but he is ''much'' stronger.
** Unlike most examples of lycanthropy, however, he's able to fully control himself. Why? Could it be that annoying magical sidekick on his shoulder protecting him? Actually no, it's because Sonic the Hedgehog is [[CanonSue ''just that awesome''.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Quest 64}}'' has the werehare and werecat.
* In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', one of the main characters, Rei, is a weretiger.
* ''VideoGame/OgreBattle'' features weretigers as hidden characters who can be recruited.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the main character has the ability to transform into a black panther at will, granting her cheetah-like speed. Likewise, the character Jeanne (a fellow witch in the game) can transform into a red lynx.
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' has Were-Skags in the first DLC [[hottip:*: Skags are pretty wolf-like, coming in varieties like "Pup" and "Alpha", but possess armor plating and heads like Venus fly traps, which open vertically.]]
* ''TheElderScrolls'' universe features a variety of therianthropic creatures, including werewolves, wereboars, werelions, werecrocodiles, werebears werevultures and even [[UnreliableNarrator possibly]] weresharks. Apart from werewolves and wereboars, all of these were only mentioned in the in-universe book "On Lycanthropy" in ''Daggerfall''.
* The main gimmick of ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' is that every character is some sort of werebeast. There's a weretiger, werebear, werelion, wererabbit, werefox, werecat, wereboar, weremole, werebat, werechameleon...
* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' includes were-everythings[[hottip:*:Well every non-sapient mammal and reptile in the game]], including weresheep, werekoalas, and weregoats.
* Keine Kamishirasawa from ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' is a were-[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bai_Ze hakutaku]], a mythological beast that appears to wise and just rulers to dispense advice.
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' has wererats and werejackals in addition to the usual werewolves. All three types can infect you with their flavor of lycanthropy.
* ''[[VideoGame/DragonAge Dragon Age: Origins]]'' a variety of werebeasts. Most werebeasts are actually humans or animals possessed by demons from [[SpiritWorld the Fade]] and subsequently mutated.
* While ''{{Castlevania}}'' is usually content with werewolves, ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon'' features werebears, werejaguars, weretigers, and more. ''AriaOfSorrow'' features a couple of these also. ''{{Castlevania 64}}'' devotes a tower to battling a variety of them, and its prequel ''Legacy of Darkness'' gives us Ortega, a werelion who receives enough power from Dracula to become a werechimera.
* ''AtelierIris'' features werecats as random monsters.
* While not called werebeasts or werecreatures, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'', has Laguz: a race of people who can shift from human-like forms into animal forms. When in human form, they still have certain animal-like physical traits, such as tails, wings, ears, and colored stripes on their faces. Varieties include cat, tiger, lion, [[WereWolf wolf]], hawk, raven, heron, and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]].
* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' includes werebatlike creatures and weresharks which come as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere event.
* In ''[[TheMuppets Muppet Monster Adventure]]'' Fozzie Bear is turned into a Wocka Wocka Werebear.
* The Druid of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} II'' can turn into a [[MightyGlacier Werebear]] or [[FragileSpeedster Werewolf]].
* Pictured above are the animal forms of the Norn race from ''GuildWars2'', they have a pantheon of animal spirits that they worship, but venerate four above all the rest for directly aiding them in an exodus from their homeland, besides the bear and wolf (they lack boar in-game, interestingly) pictured above, there's also the raven and snow leapord forms.
* In the DLC for ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'', there's a skill that allows the player to become a Werediggle. Diggles are the game's MascotMook, rubbery birdlike things with drills on their beaks.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': When people enter the Dark World, they turn into an animal (real or fantasy) that reflects their personality. Link becomes a pink bunny rabbit but keeps his trademark tunic.
** Similarly in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', Link turns into a wolf when exposed to Twilight, rather than a ghost like everyone else, because of the shielding effects of the Triforce of Courage.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/PeterIsTheWolf'': About one in every 1000 people in the world is some sort of were; werewolves are most common and have the most developed social structure, but there are plenty of other were species with their own idiosyncracies (werebears are antisocial, werelions are arrogant and lazy, etc.)
* ''Webcomic/TheWotch'' has a few lycanthropic minor characters (a hereditary werewolf (Samantha "Wolfie" Wolfe) and an inflicted werecat (Katie [=McBride=]). Transformations occur involuntarily under a full moon (or a spell capable of duplicating those conditions), and victims lose their normal personalities while transformed (though both above characters can overcome this thanks to a magic amulet). There's even a case of a "were-woman", a man who turns into a woman with an independant personality of her own (this is apparently super-rare even among weres, probably because most women don't go around biting people.)
* LivingWithInsanity has a cat that used a spell on herself and can now [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=507 transform into a human at will]].
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has Shapeshifting is one of main themes. A traditional curse-based {{werewolf}} was only in the backstory, but there are shapeshifting [[LittleGreenMen Uryuoms]] and their hybrid offspring running around. A chimera typically is born able to shift between the [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm default hybrid form]] and forms of parent species (other than Uryuom) while retaining some traits.
** Grace is sometimes referred to as a "were-squirrel", since she morphs between human, squirrel and squirrel/human (she does mix in the third base form, especially when upset, but early on this was rather subtle), due to genes of human, squirrel, and two shape-shifting aliens.
** Then a new term was coined from Dewitchery Diamond's purpose and nature of the last "curse" it "removed": ''[[GenderBender weregirl]]''.
* Roger in ''CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is a were-coyote.
* ''ClanOfTheCats'' Chelsea's suffering from a Curse running in her father's family, making werecats out of every female member.

* ''AboveGround'' also features all kinds of werebeasts, although the predominant one remains werewolves. Whatever their animal type, their bite is not infectious: it is a trait inherited genetically. Furthermore, the weres are {{Voluntary Shapeshift|ing}}ers who learn how to control their change as they grow older. To be able to fully control the change back and forth is their passage into adulthood.

** A Halloween episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' also had a wereclown concept where Dexter gets bitten by a pair of clown dentures and turns into a MonsterClown whenever he laughs.
* An episode of the ''AceVentura'' cartoon had Ace go to a village to hunt down a killer moose; it later turns out that it was a weremoose. Almost everyone Ace runs into in the village happens to be a weremoose, with even his own pet monkey Spike getting turned into one. Later on, it turns out that the very person who brought him there is the original weremoose and has the power to transform at will via a [[TransformationTrinket special talisman]] and the very reason he brought Ace over to the village is so he could turn him into one, telling him that he'll be granted special powers and that together they'll create a race of moose men.
* In the ''KappaMikey'' episode "Night Of The Werepuff", there is a creature called a werepuff- it's a furry creature that eats clothes. Mikey gets turned into one.
* ''TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' episode "Count Koopula" featured Wereturtles.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid'' involved Flounder becoming a "Howling Hairfish".
* The new HalloweenEpisode of ''PhineasAndFerb'' features Doofensmirtz turning into a werecow.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' can turn into not one, but 10 (at least at the beginning, later he gets more) different aliens, each with a different super power. Part of the show involves him slowly learning how to better discern which alien's power best fits a given situation.

That actually goes all the way back to first edition.

** ''D&D'' 3rd Edition uses the term lycanthrope to refer to any sort of therianthrope. There are multiple varieties of lycanthrope aside from the usual werewolves, werebears, wererats, wearboars, weretigers, dire wereboars (hill giants that turn into dire boars), and jackleweres. The 3.5 edition monster manual even has a template for any animal. They've always been able to take on the normal animal form and infect with a bite, but other details have cropped up with the evolution of the game, including the addition of a "hybrid" form equivalent to the Man-Wolf, the existence of natural lycanthropes in addition to infected ones, and the imposition of a whole new alignment (and personality) not just on the nonhuman forms but on the human(oid) as well. The most recent edition has the Lycanthrope template, allowing one to make were-''anything'' characters. Recent publications introduced the Shifter player race, descendants of humans and lycanthropes, who were effectively "lycanthrope-lite".
