if a ranger wanted favored enemy werewolf, what would he take? Human? what if the werewolf was an elf? or a half orc?
Seems to me they should be monstrous humanoids, but they are not listed as that in the bestiary.
so what should the werewolf hunter take as a favored enemy?
Shapechanger ;)
Can you take Shapechanger in Pathfinder? Or would it have to be Humanoid (Shapechanger) or some such?

It'd have to be Humanoid (Shapechanger), especially since there are also Outsider (Shapechanger)s, such as the Oni.
There is a favored enemy listing in the Core that's called,
Humanoid(Other Subtype).
Yeah, that's for things like Humanoid (Tengu) or Humanoid (Derro) or Humanoid (Shapechanger). You don't get to take Humanoid (Other Type) as a catch-all for anything not on the list; you still have to pick a singular type.
So Humanoid shapechanger would also cover himself (shapeshifting ranger archetype) and druids n such as well as changelings?

Humanoid (shapechanger) would only cover humanoids with the shapechanger subtype, which includes all lycanthropes and that's more or less it. I can't think of any other ones off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure they exist somewhere.
It wouldn't allow for druids or the like, since while they have shape changing powers, they don't gain the shapechanger subtype.

huh ok, old school 1e had the +1 sword, +3 vs. lycanthropes and shapechangers specifically called out that it worked against druids. I thought "shifter's sorrow" in 3.5 had something in the write up about druids too.
