Werebear

Werebears are the most abundant breed of lycanthrope found in Skyrim and also inhabiting regions such as High Rock, the Imperial Province, and Morrowind. Legend holds that smearing Canis Root on the trees surrounding one's home wards off werebears.

Trivia

 * Although the population in Skyrim is large, none are ever encountered by the Dragonborn.
 * M'aiq the Liar comments on this, saying, "Werebears? Where? Bears? Men who are bears?"
