Lycanthropes

&nbsp Lycanthropes are creatures that suffer from Lycanthropy. There are seven known types of lycanthropes throughout Tamriel.

Werebears
Werebears are believed to exist in Skyrim. According to lore, they are the most common type of Lycanthrope in Skyrim, although they have yet to appear in the game.

Werewolves
Werewolves are the only lycanthropes known to exist everywhere in Tamriel. They are known to have a connection with the Daedric Lord Hircine, and are often described as his hounds. They are the second most common lycanthrope in Skyrim behind Werebears. The "Circle" an elite group of warriors within Skyrim's companions faction is comprised of werewolves, and is passed down through a ritual upon admittance into the circle. Werewolves in Skyrim are unable to gain the benefits of resting that an uncursed warrior would. Werewolves on the island of solstheim carry a weakness of silver weaponry.

Werecrocodiles
Exist in Black Marsh and southern Morrowind.

Werelions
Werelions have been spotted in Black Marsh, Cyrodiil, and the wetter parts of Elsweyr.

Werevultures
Werevultures exist only in Valenwood.

Wereboars
Can be found in both High Rock and Hammerfell. The wereboar is to date the only other lycanthrope to appear in an elderscrolls game (Daggerfall).

Weresharks
Are believed to roam the oceans around Tamriel. Their existance has never been confirmed as only a rumor of their existence is ever mentioned in the daggerfall text: "On Lycanthropy" and even then the author only breifly mentions that he has heard of these lycantropes, and nothing more.
