Trolls. What I am. [He taps a claw against one of the crystals protruding from his shoulder.] Rocks growing from the body, sometimes fur, tusks, or tails... Problems with aggression are common.
[His ears twitch back, and he goes on hurriedly.] Nymphs seem to be made of plants, and have a sort of mental connection to them. It's usually pretty easy to recognize when someone is turning into one. Manticores tend to develop catlike traits, but generally have wings, and stingers on their tails. Werewolves most resemble dogs, wolves... even foxes, sometimes. Harpies develop traits like those of birds. Arachne have spiderlike bodies and spin webs. Nagas have snake tails instead of legs; gargoyles have reptilian traits as well, but generally keep their legs and grow wings. Minotaurs can resemble bulls, sheep, or goats, from what I've seen, but they always have hooves and horns. Werebears are... well, they look like bears. And wendigos seem to resemble deer... as well as being undead, so far as I can tell.
...Those are the ones that specifically eat meat. It works... a little differently for the others.
