Were-albatrosses. Not only simply not epic, but extremely unlucky to boot.

Weregiant tortoise would probably be effective since giant tortoises are 50% bigger than a grizzly bear and have RETRACT_INTO_BP. Note that "giant tortoise" is not a giant variant creature so it should be were-able (the giant version is called a "gigantic tortoise"). Speed might be a problem.

I believe that weretransformations are affected by body size of both the transformer and the creature to be transformed into but I haven't seen a good explanation yet. Nonetheless I believe werebeasts are usually larger than either form.

What will happen to subterranean animal men with SWIMS_INNATE who transform into a nonswimming form while submerged?

Incidentally if normal-type animal men can become werecreatures, a sperm werewhale sperm whale man would be an ungodly avatar of brute strength.

edit: actually arena tests suggest that all werecreatures have SWIMS_INNATE
