Werewolves and vampires are truly opposite. The brute strength and speed of a werewolf contrasts the vampire's deadly magic and cunning. Many choose to avoid becoming such beasts. Others however, seek to join their ranks in darkness. Both creatures with equal power and equal short-comings. There is no better beast. Be sure to share if you're planning on becoming a werewolf or a vampire! I'd like to hear from you guys. 
Werewolf
LORE:
Lycanthropy is a supernatural condition created by the Daedric Prince Hircine. There are many versions of this condition including werebears. Although, werewolves are far more common. This condition is spread through a contagious disease called Sanies Lupinus.
DISEASE: Sanies Lupinus
HOW TO BECOME:
- Be infected by another player who has the disease near the Ritual Site (players can only infect once every 7 days). After being infected at the site you will see "Sanies Lupinus" in your active effects. You will get the quest "Hircine's Gift". The quest will help you finish the transformation or you can remove the disease.
- Find and encounter Werewolf NPC. This is a type of enemy that spawns in high level locations. You can only be bitten while fighting them. It is not a certainty that you will be bitten and you may have to fight multiple enemies. After being bitten the special quest "Hircine's Gift" will appear. The quest will help you finish the transformation or you can remove the disease.

Vampire
LORE:
The Daedric Prince Molag Bal hated the Aedra Arkay who showed pride in his creation of the cycle of life and death. Molag Bal traveled to the newly formed Tamriel. He savagely raped the Nedic woman Lamae Beolfag. She was found and nursed back to health by some nomads. She was rapidly healing from her wounds, but this frightened the local nedes. In fear of the disease that was spreading through her the people tried to cremate her, but she awoke and murdered them all. She went on to create others like her and mocked Arkay's cycles. She was dubbed a Daughter of Coldharbour after Molag Bal's plain of Oblivion. Since, many have made pacts with Molag Bal to become vampires, thus creating new bloodlines.
DISEASE:
Sanguinare Vampiris
HOW TO BECOME:
-Find and encounter Blood Fiend NPC. This in-game enemy spawns at night in high level areas and can give you the disease while fighting. Just like werewolves, it's not a certainty that you will contract the disease on your first attempt. You may have to fight multiple enemies. After being infected "Vampirism" will appear under your active effects and if you travel to the nearest wayshrine you'll meet an NPC with the quest "Scion of the Blood Matron" (a level 38 quest). Vampirism has no actual effect until you accept that quest. The same NPC can tell you how to be cured.
-Contract vampirism from a player with the disease (players can only infect another player every 7 days). After being infected "Vampirism" will appear under your active effects and if you travel to the nearest wayshrine you'll meet an NPC with the quest "Scion of the Blood Matron" (a level 38 quest).
