werecreature
Human-beast hybrid being
A werecreature is a being that transforms between human and animal form, generalizing the concept of the werewolf to any animal.
Fantasy and horror fiction feature weretigers, werebears, wererats, and countless others.
The *were-* element comes from an Old English word for "man," so werecreature applies the transformation concept while sidestepping the wolf specificity: The game lets you play as various werecreatures.
