Was that power Beren's? I can only recall two instances of his form changing. By Felegund's arts they both took on the appearance of orcs, and with Lúthien's power he took of shape of the wolf Draugluin.

I don't believe there is any indication that the Beornings were descendants of Beor, although the names are similar.
