More Were creatures?
-
mwo1480✭✭✭✭if new were creatures come (how i hope for werebears, werecrocodiles and wereteenagegirls) it will not be race exclusive as that would break the all race/class can use/become all policy of zos/eso,
i might be an "expension" exclusive tho like warden (if it would happen), like for exemple werebear in a skyrim expension, u can only get from a wild werebear in the expension, and u only can "bite" other players with the expension as the shrine is only there
i would like this, but im sure it would be broken for a while as took a while to get the ww and vamp good (and probaly unbalenced acording to pvp players on forum who only play for like 1 day a week and think every thing is unbalanced even tho they just suck as player)eu/pc

grizzledcroc✭✭✭✭No reason not to want more honestly in the game . Variety is nice granted I feel like it would be monetized uwu. Maybe just make it a dlc zone if you want more...M O N E Y0 -

For example you can be bitten by werevulture only in Valenwood, because this is place where you can find most of them. More were creatures is an old idea and is 100% lore friendly. Maybe ZoS could add them with new expansion (chapter xd) about such things.

✭✭✭✭✭Agreed, I'd like more of the were-creatures to be available in-game as well.
I'm always curious about the were-lions too. How do people know they weren't just particularly vicious khajiit? For that matter if a khajiit changed into a were-lion would they actually look any different?PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

...one finds tales of several kinds of lycantropes, from werebears, werewolves, werecrocodiles, werelions, werevultures, wereboars, and even weresharks.
That would be the ones supported by that bit of lore.
I ncould easily see them becoming part of the ESO experience... (though due to their rarity, and ZOS need to make some profit if they expend the resources to program them, most likely with some "crown store only" aspect, either only available there, or with infection locations in DLC regions?)
Correct, except that the other creatures you mention are not technically "lycanthropes"... since "lycan" specifically refers to wolves. A more generic term for the concept would be "shapeshifter", a concept that is 100% lore-friendly.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Were-wolfs or anything else were-x will never be a race. They will always have a race we have to choose from in character creation and the were part will remain an addiction as it is now.
If Zos permitted were-bears and such it would merely be a skin. The skills and passives would remain identical.0 -

But you are correct, technically only were-wolves are "lycan"-tropes. Same with the "loup-garou" sometimes used in other places.
Although, "Shapeshifter" can be a bit misleading as it could also refer to magical shapeshifting, or other shapechanging creatures such as dopplegänger (not that i recall those specifically existing in TES lore mind you, unless you count that dark moon spirit we encounter in stonefalls)...
I suppose "were" or "werebeast" might work for general use though...
The technically most corrent term might be therianthrope, it just has the drawback that without the link, most people would just go "huh" on reading it...

Creepsley✭✭✭can agree with some of the others here that it would be awesome if you're race had something to say as to what were-Race you became, that would be kinda awesome0

KeiruNicrom✭✭✭✭✭ability skins could solve this. A DLC in hircines realm that has unlockable ability skins for werewolf ult. Turns you into werebear, were lion, werecroc, etc0 -
