Just a quick question... why isn't Werewolf fur color the color of the player's hair? I mean, it never seems to be in any werewolf mythos. I just think it would be kind of wild to have red, brunette, and blonde Werewolves. :lol:

Does TES or ESO provide any lore for this?

    What if you're Argonian? What's the fur colour then then?

    I'm not aware of any pre-ESO lore regarding werewolf fur color. On ESO, it seems to relate to the werewolf's role in the pack...?

    I don't know, but I wish it matched hair color. My werewolf would be red.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:

    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I can't think of any lore as to why it's not the same as their hair colour by default, nor any lore as to why a werewolf's fur changes colour if they get stronger (after picking a morph). I get the impression this is one of those 'we designed it like that so that's how it is' things, but I'd love it if there was some lore on it.

    As an aside, it would be awesome if werewolves could pick their fur colour and not have it tied to their morph choice.

    I would much prefer it if the morphs actually gave the player a different werewolf model @ListerJMC. Something Noble for the pack leader and something more ferocious for the Berserker.

    That would be very cool, better than assigning a colour I think. People could pick their own colour and you could still tell what morph they chose.

    A green werewolf... hmm. Sounds cool to me.

    Oh! Oh! And Khajiit could keep their fur patterns!

    I would prefer a system like the "Moonlight tales" (skyrim) or Curse of Hircine resurrected" (oblivion) mods that lets you change your fur eyes and body mesh separately

    And to think I was searching for a add on for this just like 2 weeks ago, lols.

    For more human species, Bretons, Orcs, Elves and Imperials I would like some more variety in fur color. Kinda dull really that everyone is stuck between 2 fur colors. For the less human species, Khajiit and Argonians, their skin color would decide. I can picture a striped werewolf, if one´s Khajiit has some body stripes. It also personalizes the werewolf. But since some Argonians, like my character, has no hair but just badass spikes. Then the skin color would decide. A red Argonian werewolf, I can think of worse things. And obviously not a bright red but a more natural dark red, a red that would actually look good.

    And even though I know they would never do this: it would be awesome if Argonians got to keep their horns...

    It is interesting idea. I mean,if we can dye out gear,why cant we dye everything else? I'd love it if we could dye everything. Right down to the hilt of my daggers. :)

    Screw just coloration.
    Just bring the other Were-forms into the game

    Argonians get to be Were-crocodiles
    Khajiit get Were-Lions
    Bosmer get Were-Vulture
    Nords get Were-Bears

    The rest of the races can get the default Werewolf :)

    Yep, I'm hanging out for costume dyes and weapon dyes and dyes to remove the purple skin my Redguard got post-vampirism and just everything and anything really I love customising things. I don't see why werewolves couldn't choose what colour they turn, it'd be a fun piece of customisation.

    I would love the different forms of werebeasts in ESO too. But I'd still think the hair feathers or scales should be representative of the character.

    Customizing stuff would be such a fun sidegame. I mean,trying to see how each piece of gear looks together with the right colors is already fun.Imagine if everything else was.Mounts,weapons,etc.
    The world would be a colorful place indeed!

    They're in the lorebook "On Lycanthropy" @Volkodav
    http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/On_Lycanthropy

    There are also Wereboars and a certain Khajiit with tall tales claims Weresharks exist.
