Carcharoth was just a wolf who guarded Angband. He bit off the hand that bore the Silmaril and went on a killing spree with newfound power, that's all. He's no werewolf or vampire, just and ordinary wolf. Drauglin is the werewolf and Thuringwethil is the vampire. Drauglin's nothing special either, but Thuringwethil seems to have been at least a little "uber" in terms of power.
