Skyrim werewolves are an integral part of many quests in Bethesda’s massive open-world RPG. Whether you follow the Companions questline and join the circle, or meddle in different aspects of the Hircine, the patron lycanthropic rite.
Anyway, that’s my one allotted use of ‘lycanthropic’ out of the way. Now that’s done, I get to tell you how to become a Skyrim werewolf, what other characters are werewolves, and their different types. Head below for that, or head to our Skyrim marriage, Skyrim enchanting, and Skyrim followers guides for even more lengthy details.

How do I become a Skyrim werewolf?
The only way to become a Skyrim werewolf is to follow the Companions questline. Once you’ve started the game, follow the main quest until you reach Whiterun, then:
- Head to Jorrvaskr, a mead hall at the bottom of the stairs to Dragonsreach next to a preacher
- Ask around about joining the Companions
- Start the Companions questline
- Complete the Companions questline
By finishing the Companions questline, you can become a Skyrim werewolf. Here’s what abilities that gives you:
- Can change into a werewolf once a day
- This is called “beast form”, and you are more powerful
- Only lasts two and a half minutes
- Can be extended by feeding on humans
Don’t forget that lots of people don’t like Skyrim werewolves. Many NPCs will be terrified of you. Good luck! If that scares you, check out our Skyrim maps, Skyrim Serana, Skyrim cure vampirism for more stuff.
