Has anyone read the book Lycanthropic Tales Of Skyrim? i found it on a dead silver hand. basically some guy went to Skyrim to study them but apparently there just about extinct. So i wonder if we get them as dlc how will it be explained? maybe we have to find some Werebears and spread the population or something? stop Hunters from killing them maybe?

thoughts?

I personally don't care for were-bears... seems silly to me.

I think the separate perk tree for them was more impressive than the actual werebear concept. If you could have a seprate skills and leveling system for it as well that would be beyond epic.

Why? there a valid part of the lore. as much as Werewolf's even.

If dragons can come back from extinction, then why not werebears too?

I'd love to see a DLC revolving around them.

Hah, the thread title reminds me of my old rant thread I made awhile back about the wherebears.

But anyway, the werebears could be anywhere. They could have been summoned to Hircine's hunting grounds (the ES book- Lord of Souls, records one being there).
They could even be in hiding after mercilessly hunting of them. I mean if Skyrim's loggers dislike normal bears, imagine werebears hanging about! people would absolutely loathe them. And hell, the logging business seems to make the most income, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone got the courage to act against them.


I personally don't care for non-volkihar vampires in Skyrim.. seems silly to me, but they are there anyway, as Movarth Piquine proves.

so how does a man turning into a wolf NOT seem silly, but a man turning into a bear IS silly? that blows my mind lol..and werebears are VERY lore friendly, they are apart of the lore and i was honestly surprised that they weren't included in skyrim..we've already had werewolves in bloodmoon..

You don't get were-bears until I get my were-starfish.

i want weresharks and werevultures more, maybe the first expansion should includ all the werebeasts we did not get somehow

I read somewhere there were Werebears, weresharks, werewolves, werealigators, weretigers (This one made no sense to me, what do you call a Khajitt weretiger? How do you tell when they changed?)...

It really seemed like someone in the Lore department of Beth, decided to start throwing 'were' before any random animal on their kids Alphabet trainer.

Just wait for the werecougars and the weregerbals... but best be careful, before it becomes wereridiculous.

Well, there are apparently were-alota things from Hicrine. Id love to see werebears, it would be uniqe.

M'aiq ftw.
Remember when he said werewolves? where? Wolves? Men that are wolves?
And then we got werewolves! :3
I like how he say that about werebears in skyrim.

there is only 7, were wolves/bears/sharks/lions/vultures/boars/crocodiles and i think thats it

You call them a weretiger just like everyone else. Werelions (lions, not tigers, dunno where you got tiger from) are actually native to Elsweyr, so it's not really that odd of a concept.

That's actually a valid way of doing it. The word werewolf is composed of two words: "were" which means man and "wolf" which means, well, wolf. Earth has stories of more than just wolf transformations. I've heard of bears, cats, hyenas, dolphins, coyotes, ravens, rats...every culture has at least one in their legends.

Were-Crabs are the best.

would a werecrab feel nothing but hate like a normal mudcrab?

Why have were-bears when you can have...MANBEARPIG. Half man, half bear, half pig

I would not be surprised. Sadly they are quite elusive.

I know Wherebears are kind of silly but i still want TES to add them.

poor, horrible, creatures

Personally, I'd like to see Weremudcrabs in Skyrim.

and i want to see this conversation happen

"i seen a weremudcrab the other day"
"nasty creatures"
"STOP TALKING"
"good day"
"you too"

And what about my were-horkers? Huh?!

Still waiting for the were-squirrel to strike.

I lolled.
