Claws, bites, tail attacks, that sort of thing.

I think a monk's unarmed attack counts, but I'm not 100% sure.

Unarmed strikes are not natural weapons. They are their own seperate catagory, and monk unarmed strikes are also considered manufactured weapons -and- natural weapons for some purposes (primarly spells).

Natural weapons are as described, claws, bite attacks, gores, tails, wings, etc... They can be made in conjunction with each other. Wolves for example have a bite attack. If the creature has multiple natural weapons, one is primary and the rest secondary.

slam, hoof, bite, claw, talon, tail, gore,wings, and trample

If I take Weapon Focus(Claw), what does that cover? Slam, claw, talon, wings? I'm asking because slam, hoof, talon, tail, wings, and trample are not in the weapon focus list.

Also, why not just have a weapon focus(Natural weapons)? It would be easier and better for all shapeshifters.

Isn't there an "other natural attacks" focus? I think there's Slam, Claw, Bite, and Other. To be honest though I wouldn't bother with Focus for a druid, or JUST take either Slam or Claw depending on if you want to use smilodon or elemental.

I couldn't find an 'Other', unfortunately. I have now tried Claw, Bite, Gore, Unarmed Strike, and Touch. But none of those increased the attack of my medium water elemental. :(

Water elementals have "Slam" attacks.

With Pathfinder, if a feat or ability specified a particular weapon (so Weapon Focus: Claws we'll say for example) it only affects that specific kind of weapon. So Weapon Focus: Claws only affects actual claws (like the kinds on a bear or tiger, or the kind a Draconic Sorcerer can grow).
