* [[Youkai]] are Japanese supernatural creatures that are sometimes depicted as having features similar to werebeasts. Examples of these should be listed under that trope.

== Anime and Manga ==
Line 89:
* ''[[In the Blood (Literature)|In the Blood]]'' features werecats.
* ''[[Silicon Wolfpack (Literature)|Silicon Wolfpack]]'' includes multiple types of hereditary werebeasts. Including [[Scaled Up|weresnakes]].
* [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''[[Operation Chaos]]'' has a weretiger. Because Anderson's [[Magic aA Is Magic A|laws of magic]] insist that [[Shape Shifter Baggage|mass remains constant]], he is a very large, fat man in human form.
* Fred Saberhagen's novel ''Dancing Bears'' features, guess what, ursanthropes.
* Curtis Jobling's series of fantasy novels ''[[Wereworld]]'' has all sorts of werecreatures, not limited to mammals.
Line 206:
== Web Original ==
* The ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' has several "weres" that draw from numerous different archetypes.
* The ''[[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]'' have had a number of were-somethings, in include [[Werewolves]], [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Penguins|werepenguins]], weretigers, werehawks, and even a were-sea-anemone.
* ''[[Above Ground]]'' also features all kinds of werebeasts, although the predominant one remains werewolves. Whatever their animal type, their bite is not infectious: it is a trait inherited genetically. Furthermore, the weres are [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Voluntary Shapeshifters]] who learn how to control their change as they grow older. To be able to fully control the change back and forth is their passage into adulthood.
