Were-Human.
Is that not just some form of Multiple personality disorder?

Hmm, how about some sort of animal-animal-were form. Like a squirrel that can turn into a bear, or a dog that can turn into a canary. Would make for a strange pet to an even stranger wizard  :D

When it comes to size, remember the weres we've seen in the books - they tended to have the same mass as the untransformed human. It would seem reasonable that that's the easiest transformation; changing mass would have to do something with the "lost" or "gained" mass-energy, and I'd imagine that adds a big level of complexity to the magic involved.

Of course, then YS goes on the have one of the sample characters at the back of the book be a weremouse who drops herself down to mouse size.  I'm sure that was to demonstrate that guidelines like that need not apply to cool folks like the PCs.

For anyone familiar with the WoD games, I always found were-sharks to be insulting. I mean really, real sharks are bad enough, but now we get were-sharks?

Were-wolf-were.  You're a person, who can turn into a wolf, who can turn into a (different?) person!  Now that just should not be.

I like the were-unicorn or platypus notions, though.  Might have to use one of 'em sometime.

I think you're assuming more than is written. There's a lot of stuff in the books about the conversation of mass-energy; it would be most reasonable to presume that the mass-energy must be dealt with somehow.

I'm surprised no one's said Were-Rabbit

or Were-Vorpal Rabbit.

As a GM I would probably be leary about a Were-Dinosaur.

A specific Were-human would drive me to violence: Dr. Butters.

Sadly, all were-may flies died upon transformation, as all of them were long past the life expectancy of the insect...

Most campaigns don't have the refresh to allow a were-rabbit; you'd need Superhuman Speed, Flight, Claws, at least Inhuman Strength and Stamina, with the catch of Holy Items.

Not just holy items, the holy hand grenade!

In all seriousness, how about a were-mole. Or a were-Pidgeon. Or even a were-(Insert video game character who is also an animal here). Or even worse... sonic the werehog.
