Weredragons also breathe fire.

That argument would make sense, if Arena didn't feature all of Tamriel. I don't see anything wrong with revisiting Solsthiem or the Bloodmoon Prophecy. It'd certainly be better than any other Bethesda DLC/Expansion, not including Shivering Isles.

Though, I did recently play through Bloodmoon again, and it seemed a little bit more goofy than I remember it, though that was more tied to the strange Skaal practices.

Actually, instead of Solsthiem, isn't there supposed to be an Island north of Skyrim, between Tamriel and Atmora? The Kingdom of Solitude held it at one point I believe.

Roscrea. I'd love to visit that island.

i mean that actually makes a difference and before you say breathing fire makes a difference its not gonna really make it any harder than killing a werewolf all you gotta do is dodge the fire. Being able to fly does.

I was joking. There are a few references with other were creatures.

In Daggerfall, you can be either a werewolf or a wereboar
It's rumored by M'aiq the Liar in Morrowind that he's seen a wereshark. It's most likely a joke.
I've read a book in Oblivion or Morrowind about a town where werebear sightings have been rumored., In the story the boy instead found a werewolf so the myth could've been mislead.

FYI a werecreature is a half man half creature. Usually in stories the man will turn into a half creature when infected by lycanthropy. The word lycanthropy is sometimes used generically for any transformation of a human into animal form, though the precise term for that is technically "therianthropy". Sometimes, "zoanthropy" is used instead of "therianthropy". The word has also been linked to Lycaon, a king of Arcadia who, according to Ovid's Metamorphoses, was turned into a ravenous wolf in retribution for attempting to serve human flesh (his own son) to visiting Zeus in an attempt to disprove the god's divinity.

That said, a weredragon would look sort of like a demon, I guess. I haven't thought about it.

Read "On Lycanthropes" in the game.

^Werebears this time??
I've read somewhere that Hircine's realm is filled with werebeings. "If Hircine's around, so will his minions." or something to that context.

Werewolves can be found in any province. Werebears are native to Skyrim. Wereboars are native to High Rock and Hammerfall. Werelions are native to Elsweyr. Werevultures are native to Valenwood. Werecrocodiles are native to Black Marsh. The oceans around Tamriel supposedly have Weresharks.
Hircine also created another type of lycanthrope, an ancient Weredaedroth, in response to a challenge from Sheogorath.
