Werebeasts idea.

I think it would be nice, if possible, for different skins to be added so that you could transform into a different beast instead of just the werewolf.
Werecats for Khajit is the obvious one.
The possibilties with these skins would be huge.

Would be fun,
however skill styles for Werewolf's Ultimate will likely start with different fur colours or things like a skeletal werewolf before we'd get different models.

as we currently don't have other werebeasts in eso, zos would have to make new animations for these other beasts as they likely wouldn't fit the werewolf skeleton.
so if it does happen it would probably take multiple years.

and Werecats for Khajiit doesn't seem obvious to me as anyone of any humanoid race can be a werebeast of any kind.

Honestly, the first thing I need is chooseable werewolf colors. I hate that I need to keep my boy’s transformation unmorphed because he’s supposed to have that brownish fur.

Also we need a cool Werewolf grimoire for Scribing. Or buffs in general so werewolves aren’t a total meme anymore, but I know that’s asking a lot.

Anyway, I feel like the above would be the easiest places to start giving love to the children of Hircine. The TES games have had other werebeasts before, but only wereboars have been playable and even then only in TES2:Daggerfall. There are some werebat enemies on ESO and legends and werebears in Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC, but those haven’t been playable.

My wolf was actually supposed to be a werebear. I’d change him if it were an option, but that’s not as important to me as just being able to morph the transformation *and* have him have brown fur. If even that was all they gave me, I’d be like 90% happy.

Werelions wouldn't be exclusive to just Khajiit, nor would Werecrocodiles be exclusive to just Argonians. As long as Khajiit and Argonian characters are still allowed to transform into Werewolves, as they've been able to in every TES game with werewolves up to this point, then I'd be alright with optional Polymorph-like Skill Styles for Werewolf Transformation that featured other werecreatures.

Though, I think it's a safe bet that we'll get fur retextures first. Slate-Gray Summoned Bear is considered a Skill Style in Update 44, which makes it the first example of a Skill Style which, instead of recoloring VFX, actually retextures an ability model — this could be applied to Werewolf Transformation to give us Skill Styles which change the color of our fur.
