Werebeasts are creatures that can transform between a human (or at least humanoid) form and an animal or animal-like form. They are also known as "therianthropes", "werecreatures" or "were-animals". The prefix "were" comes from the Old English word "wer", meaning "man".note There is also "wyf," the Old English word and prefix for "woman," and "man" was originally the gender neutral term for Homo sapiens. The classy term for this is therianthropy, from the Greek words for "beast" ("therion") and "human" ("anthropos"). Such creatures can be found in the mythology of many cultures, and the myths have inspired the frequent use of werebeasts in modern Speculative Fiction, particularly Fantasy and Horror. By far the most common form of werebeast depicted in fiction inspired by European folklore is the werewolf, but many stories use other animals as the basis of their werebeasts. Some of these are inspired by pre-existing mythologies and others are purely the invention of the authors. Other than wolves, potentially dangerous predatory mammals such as big cats, hyenas and bears are the most frequently depicted werebeasts, but many other types of creature have been used as the basis of a werebeast — wereboars and wererats, for instance, are far from unheard of. Sometimes authors use normally harmless creatures as the basis of a werecreature for the sake of Rule of Cute or Rule of Funny. Some works will even use extremely unconventional ideas such as werecars. It should also be noted that while werebeasts normally have humanoid shapes as their default form, sometimes a work will reverse the order and make a werebeast an animal that transforms into a human. The wolf version of this is sometimes called a "wolfwere". Taking this to it's logical conclusion and featuring something like, say, an ant that turns into a spider or a mushroom that turns into a mold is however, unheard of. Werebeasts often have variations and characteristics similar to those listed on the Werewolf Analysis Page. For more information see The Other Wiki Therianthropy page. This is a Sub-Trope to Our Monsters Are Different and Animorphism. Super-Trope for therianthrope tropes, like Our Werewolves Are Different and Weredragon. The preference for examples on this trope is for creatures explicity called "were", however very similar cases of human-animal transformation can also be listed, if the nature of the character or creature is strongly linked to a specific animal species. Creatures that can turn into any sort of creature or multiple types of creatures should not be listed here, but on the pages for Voluntary Shapeshifting or Animorphism. Related Tropes: Skin Walker is a Native American multi-animal shape-shifter capable of taking other human forms. Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism is for information on other tropes related to the combination of human and animal features and Shapeshifting for other tropes related to changing form. Werebeast Tropes lists tropes related to werebeasts, including werewolves. Youkai are Japanese supernatural creatures that are sometimes depicted as having features similar to werebeasts. Examples of these should be listed under that trope. |

Karl Lykos a.k.a. Sauron from X-Men is a were-pterosaur, being formerly a human who was bitten by a Savage Land pterosaur and got mutated into a humanoid pterosaur. His shapeshifting works based on his energy drain power; in human form, he needs to drain people to survive (it's not fatal), but if he drains a mutant's power, he turns into his pterosaur form until it's used up. | |

Vampirella: One of Vampirella's allies is Pantha/Sekhmet, an ancient Egyptian woman who can transform into a panther. There's some degree of Morphic Resonance as well, with her stripperiffic outfit (it's not clear if they're actually clothes or formed directly from her skin) containing cat patterns. | |

Wonder Woman: The original version of the Cheetah was a normal woman who wore a cheetah costume, but Wonder Woman (1987) revamps her as an evil archaelogist named Barbara Minerva whose greed leads to her seeking out an African tribe whose guardian has the powers of a cheetah. She partakes in a ritual that grants her this guardian's powers, transforming her into a cheetah-human hybrid. Unfortunately, the ritual requires the host of the powers to be a virgin, which Barbara is not — as a result, she experiences severe pain and physical disability while in her human form and bloodthirsty euphoria while in her cat form. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-2537 (Werebricks) is about, well, werebricks. They turn people by bludgeoning them instead of biting them, and can change whenever they want but will forcibly transform on a full moon. On a new moon, they all get together and try to build a bridge to... somewhere. SCP 6090 is a virus that infects both humans and animals. Infected animals attack humans under the full moon, but are otherwise unchanged. Infected humans are turned into werebeasts based on what animal infected them, freely able to switch between a "base form", which is human but with the head and tail of the relevant animal, and "feral form", which is basically just an animal form. With practice, some humans can manage intermediate forms as well. Infected humans are compelled to spread the infection under the full moon, but the strength of this compulsion varies from person to person, and can often be easily resisted. The virus was made by the fey, and an early account of their experiments with it can be found in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream |

In the world of A Study in Moonlight, werebeasts are an exotic, and sometimes poorly understood, but well-known minority. The narrator is half werewolf, a minor character is a wererat, and werebears have been mentioned. Therianthropy can be infectious or inherited, therianthropes can only take mammalian forms, and they have to obey the conservation of mass. | |

Marvel Universe: "The Cat" was once just a costumed heroine, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra, who would go on to appear in The Avengers. Her costume was later inherited by Hellcat of The Defenders. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand varies based on a number of factors — repressing herself strengthens her cat side until it overwhelms her human behavior in one story, while in another, pregnancy seems to make her act more human (i.e., craving the same foods her mother did when she was pregnant). One day, she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft; the next, she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises). Ursa Major is a Russian superhero (real name: Major Mikhail Ursus) able to turn into a humanoid bear. Catseye from New Mutants is a member of the Hellions and was meant as an Evil Counterpart to Wolfsbane. This eventually evolved into a Friendly Rivalry instead. She acts more animal-like than Wolfsbane (or really, any similar Marvel character except, again, Tigra when her powers are really misbehaving) and has been speculated to be a catlike creature who can transform into a human instead of the other way around, but it's not made explicit. Gator Grant from The Thing can shift between a regular human form and the form of a humanoid alligator. At least once, his transformation was allowed to continue, and he turned into regular alligator. It did not last. Mighty Avengers has Ninja Were-Snakes, followed shortly by Were-Slugs, Were-Bugs, Were-Rhinos, Were-Octopi, Were-Honey-Badgers, Were-Roosters and Were-Lamprey. Lampshaded by a caption: Karl Lykos a.k.a. Sauron from X-Men is a were-pterosaur, being formerly a human who was bitten by a Savage Land pterosaur and got mutated into a humanoid pterosaur. His shapeshifting works based on his energy drain power; in human form, he needs to drain people to survive (it's not fatal), but if he drains a mutant's power, he turns into his pterosaur form until it's used up. |

Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose has a were-cat named Boo Cat, who's in sexual relationships with a Vampire named Liquorice Dust as well as the title witch. At least 3 of the vampire's friends don't mind, and have joined in. However, her introduction had a werewolf who had very different ideas on inter-species romances. It also featured an Anvilicious speech, a Vapor Wear Little Red Riding Hood costume, and an example of why you shouldn't try to force your tongue down the throat of an angry were-creature. Also, compared to the werewolf, the only male werebeast in the series, all of the female were-cats are more human-like. | |

Batman: Man-Bat (Kirk Langstrom) is a Mad Scientist who experimented on himself with a serum that causes him to randomly transform into a monstrous were-bat. Sometimes his wife Francine is also infected with the serum. From the 2000s on, the League of Assassins has managed to get hold of the formula and is manufacturing and using it on an industrial scale. | |

Principal Celestia Hunts the Undead: Werewolves are vulnerable to silver, are between three and five hundred pounds of berserk muscle when transformed, and are apparently enough of a problem for full-time werewolf hunters to exist. Fluttershy turns out to be a were-manatee, who was turned as a child in order to save her from drowning. She can transform of her own free will most of the time, but if she's in water during the full moon, the transformation automatically kicks in and her manatee side takes over. Meaning that she's suddenly an enormous sea creature that can only think about gorging itself on sea-grass. Sunset is rather dumbfounded by the whole thing, but accepting of her friend's secret. |

While Uzi's Absolute Solver transformation in the Murder Drones episode "Cabin Fever" can be connected to the vampiric Disassembly Drones, it's also eerily reminiscent of a werecreature, with a Painful Transformation, uncontrolled instinct, and overall feral behavior compared to the Disassembly Drones, complete with the transformation and rampage occuring under the equivalent to a full moon (albeit not directly connected). There's also V's aborted plan to kill her when she realizes this, which easily mirrors the Fur Against Fang trope. | |

Equestria: Across the Multiverse: The group comes across a universe were an evil wizard attempted to turn the mane six into his werebeast minions but the Elements of Harmony caused it to backfire and let them keep their morality and mind. It also changed their strain of the werebeast virus to change to reflect their morality in everyone they infect's transformed states. Twilight is a Wereowl, Applejack is a Weredog, Rarity is a Werefox, Rainbow Dash is a Werecheetah, Pinkie Pie is a Weremonkey, and Fluttershy is a Wereskunk. They can transform whenever they please, but have to change at night, are only weak against specially enchanted silver bullets, and very powerful allies of the Alliance. Pinkie Pie also infected their universe's Chrysalis while Fluttershy infected Ponyland's Kabuto, and all six infected mortally wounded soldiers during the Winter Wedding battle who accepted becoming one. | |

Codex Equus: There are a great many werebeast strains, which all vary considerably in function and animal. However, a common feature seems to be their transformed state's morality is dependent on morality of the first creature to have it, or at least the morality their curse forced on them. | |

Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse: Chapter 6 asks the question of "what happens if you try to mix the distinctly different magics of Jusenkyo Curses and Zoan Devil Fruits?" Chapter 7 answers it: the fused magics compromise, causing the individual to have four forms (pure human, "demibeast", hybrid and animal) but only being able to access their demibeast, hybrid and animal forms after having been splashed with cold water; hot water restores them to their fully human form, but prevents them from using their Voluntary Shapeshifting abilities until a splash of cold water reverts them to demibeast form. Additionally, seaprism stone not only has its standard debilitating effects, but also forces them into their beast form until they get away from the stone. They also retain the standard Super Drowning Skills of any Devil Fruit user, with the addendum that any water deep enough to make them helpless will also force them into their full beast form, which makes them more vulnerable to drowning. Finally, the non-human forms of such an individual are a fusion of their Devil Fruit's associated creature, and the creature of their Jusenkyo form. The individual who proves all this? The Spring of Drowned Cat-cursed Shampoo, who eats the Rabbit-Rabbit Zoan and so becomes a cabbit. | |

For a long time, Angua von Uberwald has considered her own kind to be the only were-creatures still living on the Disc. But new arrivals from Darkest Howondaland prove her to be utterly wrong. The axiom about two kinds of creatures fighting like cat and dog is proven to be literally correct when Werewolf meets Wereleopard for the first time. Ankh-Morpork is suddenly a far more interesting — and dangerous — place to live in. Also, werewolves are born shapeshifters, whilst wereleopards use magical rituals that involve binding an animal's spirit to a human host to create an enchanted skin, which they don in order to assume beast-shape and remove to resume human-shape. Except that the ritual & enchanted pelt is actually how all shapeshifters do it or originally did it; way back in ancient history, werewolves managed to breed shapeshifting into an inherent ability through a selective breeding program of wolf-shifters with each other, with humans and with wolves; they then used this ability to drive off or slay the other shapeshifter tribes, then told themselves they are and were the only shifting species. The fic ends revealing the birth of the first natural-shifter wereleopard in Howondalaand. | |

"The Cat" was once just a costumed heroine, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra, who would go on to appear in The Avengers. Her costume was later inherited by Hellcat of The Defenders. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand varies based on a number of factors — repressing herself strengthens her cat side until it overwhelms her human behavior in one story, while in another, pregnancy seems to make her act more human (i.e., craving the same foods her mother did when she was pregnant). One day, she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft; the next, she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises). | |

In Gold Digger, one of the main characters is one of the last were-cheetahs. Other weres include lions, tigers, rats, and (of course) wolves. Each subspecies is able to shift between human, animal, and a Wolf Man-style hybrid form. All of the weres retain their rationality in each of their forms, although they need to learn to control their instincts during childhood. Although the weres are separate species, they are capable of spreading thirianthropy to humans as a disease; they were originally created by a wizard as Super Soldiers before said wizard was betrayed. They have a Healing Factor for everything except attacks by another were, silver, magic, and Dwarven Steel. | |

The Storyteller sketch in John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme Series 6, episode 2 involves a werespider, although he prefers "arachnothrope". | |
