Why would they have a fox tail and not a wolf tail? What are you on about? What does it matter if a leader has a tail or not?
Genn doesn’t turn into a wolf right away, he can be in combat for quite some time without transforming, so by that logic Worgen should be able to be in combat in human form.
Edit:
Would also like them to be able to stand up. Scoliosis is no joke.
Because he is bitten. He is part human/part wolf. Show us any Werewolf with a tail in the lore. Who looks like fox, wolf, dog what ever you want to call it.
Because that is what we follow. I look at King Varian Wrynn and wanted to be a Warrior. We all are playing a game here. So how a leader presents himself in the game will bring an impact if someone wants to play that particular race?
This you can ask. I dont care but remember it is the Wolf inside him that gives him the extra abilities.
Yea no - makes no sense. Game devs need to stick to the core of WOW fantasy. Next we going to see Nighelves with smaller ears, Draenai with no tails ?
You picked that hero you have to play him how they designed it. This is acceptable to all players.
Yeah… you’re splitting hairs on “lore” without actually knowing it. The original wolf pack had tails.
Not to mention they twist lore for class customization All. The. Time. You’re arguing about them being hybrids, well their general stance would require a tail to properly balance biologically speaking.
Come off it, you just don’t want someone to have something and you’re coming up with disingenuous arguments to gatekeep.
Werewolf definition as per Wiki:
The appearance of a werewolf in its animal form varies from culture to culture, though it is most commonly portrayed as being indistinguishable from ordinary wolves save for the fact that *it has no tail
Sorry bud. I love WoW as much as you do, so we need to defend it 
So you’re trying to argue based on the real world now? Nothing in this game follows real life mythology to the letter so, again, come off it.
Also… wikipedia, really bro? Have you read any actual literature about werewolves? They often have tails. This is just sad.
Edit: Just to jump in here, the very first myth about were wolves the character in question turned into a full wolf, tail and all.
Why would we have an Fox tail when we are wolves? I think you got a little mixed up on the animal types here. And here if you say you want a Lore reason I say go ahead and show me in the lore where it says we can’t have a tail. As I already said the Worgen curse can and has already been proven in Lore to be able to be altered. So what would be so bad for an optional tail to be added where the player can choose if they want it or not. I mean here I’ll add some more food for thought to help you understand. Worgen in Lore are 8 feet tall in Worgen form. However in game they are only 6’ 11" and before you ask it was a Dev who confirmed the Lore correct size of the race. So why are we not the correct Lore size? You want to know the truth? Because Blizzard ran out of time. Worgen were worked on last right before Cataclysm went live and we had less than a month of development time on female Worgen. The model hands down was one of the worst models in WoW’s history to ever make it to the live game and hardly anyone other than real Worgen fans played the race due to how bad the model looked. This caused our player numbers to drastically drop and as such Blizzard didn’t bother to try and deal with Worgen the same way they treated other races. It took us 10 years to get rid of the rabid, pregnant, 24/7 pissed off chihuahua look. And yet because of our low player base we were given only minimal effort and customization’s but you want to know something fun? Once the player models were updated you see and even now continue to see more players playing Worgen. Reguardless of Worgen being the only Core race in the game who have never gotten the racial revamp that every other core race in the game got. You know why? Cause people just want a model that looks nice to play. And you know what would give us more players? More options… So as you can see its a nice big circle of if you give people more optional things they will use the race more. So Give Worgen more optional things like tails.
i am not reading all that champ.
Next time try an easier approach.
Never forget that Hearthstone, a game that apperently doesn’t effect what happens in wow, introduced tortollans before they ever exited in wow, introduced what N’zoth looked like before we knew what he looked like, and brought in even more characters this expansion that never exited in the game previously, one of which has heavy ties to Galakrond, who may have some kind of connecting to future content in this expansion.
If it appears in Hearthstone, it can appear in wow. Tailed worgens can, and more than likely will happen.
Let’s just stop feeding this troll, he’s arguing in bad faith and has no point.
In folklore, a werewolf [a] (from Old English werwulf ‘man-wolf’), or occasionally lycanthrope (/ˈlaɪkənˌθroʊp/; from Ancient Greek λυκάνθρωπος (lukánthrōpos) ‘wolf-human’; Ukrainian: Вовкулака, romanized: Vovkulaka), is an individual that can shapeshift into a wolf (or, especially in modern film, a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature), either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (often a bite or the occasional scratch from another werewolf) with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon.[b] Early sources for belief in this ability or affliction, called lycanthropy (/laɪˈkænθrəpi/), are Petronius (27–66) and Gervase of Tilbury (1150–1228).
The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants, which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerged in what is now Switzerland (especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century.
The persecution of werewolves and the associated folklore is an integral part of the “witch-hunt” phenomenon, albeit a marginal one, accusations of lycanthropy being involved in only a small fraction of witchcraft trials.[c] During the early period, accusations of lycanthropy (transformation into a wolf) were mixed with accusations of wolf-riding or wolf-charming. The case of Peter Stumpp (1589) led to a significant peak in both interest in and persecution of supposed werewolves, primarily in French-speaking and German-speaking Europe. The phenomenon persisted longest in Bavaria and Austria, with persecution of wolf-charmers recorded until well after 1650, the final cases taking place in the early 18th century in Carinthia and Styria.[d]
After the end of the witch-trials, the werewolf became of interest in folklore studies and in the emerging Gothic horror genre; werewolf fiction as a genre has pre-modern precedents in medieval romances (e.g. Bisclavret and Guillaume de Palerme) and developed in the 18th century out of the “semi-fictional” chap book tradition. The trappings of horror literature in the 20th century became part of the horror and fantasy genre of modern popular culture.
Don’t see anything about your made up claim of no tail there… Where did you cherry pick your definition from?
So you agree we stick to basics, somewhat of a way. Ok. I agree too.
I have extensive knowledge of Werewolves. Let’s keep it simple. Show me any media, or fantasy that was created, produced, and sold to the general public. Which showed a human bitten and in his Werewolf form had a tail.
Hey buddy, the very first werewolf tale. Almost all literature based on real life mythology, depicts them as either being able to transform into a full wolf, with tail, or humanoid form also described with tail.
“Source Trust me bro” The onus of the evidence is on you, you’re the one insisting that werewolves do not, cannot, have tails so ante up and post some proof other than wikipedia.
Werewolf the Apocalypse. It has werewolf in the title, and it has a tail. Bam
Just because someone defends, they become a troll ? Anything i have written in this thread makes sense and is close to WOW lore.
I understand you guys want a tail. you can always play Vulpera. You dont have to ask to change the dynamics of a race.
With the way WoW customizations have gone, Worgen will get tails at some point.
You’re a troll because you’re arguing in bad faith simply crying about “lore” without actually knowing it. As I’ve said before the original wolf pack (in Warcraft Lore) had tails.
Void elves can now be light skinned, can have blue uncorrupted eyes. Come. Off. It.
Werewolves in Diablo have tails BAM again.
Nice try game released 2/21 ? You call this culture ?
I was expecting a more authentic source. Like
The Curse of the Werewolf
The Werewolf of London
Teen Wolf
van Helsing
Sorry dude but its a magical curse it could be changed at any time. We could ruin your character by saying “We want Worgen to only have tails screw anyone who still wants Monkey Butt.” But you know what we don’t want that. We want it to be optional choice for the players to choose what they want to look like. Go ahead and prove to me in Lore that Worgen can’t have a tail. I’ll wait Ive already proven the curse can and has been altered.
ESO werewolves have tails triple BAM.
