Except for the feats, how does this differ from lycanthrope, exactly?

Demiurge out.

no animal form
less natural armor
no funky disease
hopefully a lower ecl
you can't just stay in the beast form all day
its truer to the bloody roar game
no animal hit die
no alignment change
no wis bonus
not limited to animal/humanoids, and animal/giants
