Wereboars
As a result of their therianthropy, wereboars had some significant physical mutations. Species with body hair found it altered to become stiff as wire bristles, their eyes became sunken and color changes to a deep red or black. Those species that did not have a "snout", found themselves growing a small one and their lower canine growing a bit longer than normal, but still concealable. Finally, skin tones adjusted to be more ruddy than normal. In their hybrid form they become huge boar-humanoids. They have large tusks, and sharp incisors. They also grow long boar-like tails. Their core body, arms and hands maintain their species humanoid shapes, but are must more muscular. In their animal form they are huge boars.
Most species that are wereboars tend to become stockier individuals. Part of the curse that their therianthropy entails causes their personalities to shift towards being bad-tempered, volatile, brutish and often crude. They enjoy getting into brawls and since they are able to transform between their states much quicker than other werebeasts, they have little to fear as the shifting process is one that they use to intimidate and frighten their opponents. Most wereboars are known to for their loyalty to a fault, but have a sense of paranoia that plagues them: the assume everyone is hostile and are very wary of strangers. Because of their base nature it is always difficult to tell whether or not was being friendly.
