Shapechanger. The weretiger can use its action to polymorph into a tiger-humanoid hybrid or into a tiger, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The weretiger has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Pounce (Tiger or Hybrid Form Only). If the weretiger moves at least 15 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the weretiger can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Multiattack (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). In humanoid form, the weretiger makes two scimitar attacks or two longbow attacks. In hybrid form, it can attack like a humanoid or make two claw attacks.
Bite (Tiger or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with weretiger lycanthropy.
Claw (Tiger or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage.
Scimitar (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Longbow (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.

Posted Sep 16, 2019Check out Matt Mercer's "Blood Hunter" class. Order of the Lycan kicks in at level 3. It plays more like a Witcher than a traditional werebeast, but looks interesting. I suppose it's up to the DM if you start at level one as a lycanthrope. Only problem is that it's time-limited, so you can't be a weretiger the whole time.
You could take the Shifter race and adopt this form, negotiating the way it works in-game with the DM.

Posted Apr 7, 2020I am currently playing a Bloodhunter Order of the Lyncan, and it is similar to a one hour barbarian rage feature with a bonus to AC. You can only use it once per short rest, (and there is a chance that you go full bloodlust werewolf) but that is usually enough to pull off most dungeon crawls at this level.

Posted Jan 9, 2022Multiple years ago, I saw a Dragon Magazine article about Lycanthrope and it being an actual class. Is that over now? I played a Monk of Kelemvor and was a Were-Tiger. He embraced the 'curse' and used to change into Hybrid form for the bigger fights. Is this playable again? DO I have to multiclass? I'm just getting back into D&D after many years... I could use the help. Thanks

Posted Mar 16, 2022Shifters are not quite lycanthropes though, they're watered down a little. They take on more bestial traits, but they themselves are not losing control due to a curse.

Posted Feb 23, 2023I dont see why that couldn't be some really funny curse. The party meets a human begging for a cure for some horrible ailment, after getting Remove Cursed it turns out he was an elf the whole time.
