Werebear

Werebears, as the name implies, are a species of therianthrope consisting of people who can turn into bears. It's not exactly a hard concept to grasp, and not entirely without some mythological precedent; the viking word "Baersark", a root word for "Berserk", literally means "Bearshirt", and Berserkers were often described as wearing bear-skin shirts (a symbol of how powerful they were), or even reputed to transformed into bears on the battlefield - as these same berserkers were also part of the heritage that gave us the more famous werewolf, tying werebears to them is not a major leap.

There was a race of them in Middle-Earth, though they're few in number by the time of The Hobbit with the most notable member being Beorn. Werebears are most associated with Dungeons & Dragons, where they are amongst the tiny number of naturally good therianthropes. They have also appeared in both Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Werewolf: The Forsaken. In Warhammer Fantasy, one of the Regiments of Renown are the Bearmen of Urslo, a tribe of Chaos Marauders gifted to varying extents with ursine transformation abilities and led by the Chaos Champion Beorg Bearstruck, a full-fledged Chaos-worshipping Werebear. Also, in at least some editions of Warhammer Fantasy, wizards using the Lore of Beasts can turn themselves into a werebear as one of the lore's more powerful buff spells.
