I think you just described Kheldians.

A crab? New skeleton
A dog? New skeleton
A cat? New skeleton (and different yet from the dog one)
An ape? New skeleton
As such, this is likely too much work to really get into this game, when there are other AT ideas that could be realized much sooner.

Well I did forget to add that the forms we would take would only have 2 legs like a werewolf. not sure if that makes a difference or not. but yeah I kind of thought it would not happen.

The devs probably COULD do it.
But I'm not going to put any bets on it happening.

I think it has 6 legs. but I said 2 two because I thought it might make it easyer for the devs to make. and yeah we also have 8 legged spiders so I don't know.

I think there is a small misunderstanding here about Skeletons. Just becuase you have a 2, 4 or even 6 legged one it does not mean it would work for other forms. A skeleton is more then just the joints like in a person, it is also the outer shape to some degree. The skeleton issue is one of the reasons a lot of FPS games have few to none female characters in it. Basically unless your going to have something with the same basic lay out you will need a new skeleton. This is why costumes have to be ported for the three body types as we have now and one of the reasons the Devs has given us a no on huge females.
Don't get me wrong I would LOVE a shapeshifting power set. I just think the work needed would far out weigh the reward for doing it. The other issue is how a few people dislike PB/WS forms they make your costume pointless becuase the form replaces it. Shapeshifting would most likely work the same you change to a wolf you look like every other wolf form player.
It's not like you can't make a werewolf brute or tank already >.>
