Werelions, Werecrocodiles, Werevultures.. etc..

How much information do we have about the different variants of Lycanthropes in Tamriel? We've experienced Werewolves, and we've experienced Werebears as enemies on Solstheim. I think we've also seen Wereboars in the ancient past of TES? I may be wrong though. The first time I heard "Wereshark" I couldn't help but smile (they sound utterly badass.) I think that's the one type of Lycanthrope that's doubted to exist, along with Werecrocodiles, who some Argonians doubt.

How much do we know about these other Lycanthropes? I've never played the Bloodmoon DLC, which is a shame because Hircine is one of my favourite Daedric Princes. I don't mind spoilers as long as they're in spoiler tags. We know that one becomes a Werewolf by drinking the blood of another Werewolf; is this the same for Werelions, and Weresharks? (lol)

Also.. I'd be interested to read your own differing opinions on Lycanthropy. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "Werevulture"? And how do you think these creatures came about. After all.. Molag Bal only has one type of Vampire (with differing strengths), while Hircine supposedly has numerous different types of were creatures.

How interesting, you can actually become a Wereboar in Daggerfall. :o

I wonder why they're only found in High Rock.

High Rock and Hammerfell. Perhaps it originated there and people in the neighbouring regions have successfully killed any who spread. Unless they can restrain themselves, it must be relatively difficult for lycanthropes to hide from communities.
