How are the latest “Night Warrior” Night Elves viewed? Or the Void Elves, or warlocks that entreat with demons, and the Death Kinghts we have been told by the late and current Kings Wrynn to accept? Or the sinister looking Dark Iron dwarves that only just recently changed from being dire enemies…and the unnerving robotic Mechagnomes, for that matter? When we were tasked to take command of a garrison, how is it that we were able to accept such a variety of questionable seeming followers on the Alliance side, such as orgres, gronn, orcs and saberon?
One answer; necessity.
Besides…as moronic as that idiot Malfurion proves so often to be, anything he is against should be automatically re-critiqued for credibility as a matter of course.
Hmm. It imitates how a monkey runs, but they run like that due to the length of the arms. Worgen do have long arms, perhaps it’d be better for them to run with the arms on the outside. Naturally speaking.
It’s… not bad. But the Skyrim werewolves have incredibly long arms. You just MIGHT be able to get something that works like this for the male worgen, but there’s still no hope for the female worgen. Their arms are much shorter and they don’t have the shoulder span that allows for the arms to reach outside the the legs like the males have.
Maybe i missed something but when you click on a worgen NPC or Genn Greyman, it was clear for me that the gilneans consider the curse as a blessing and yet they are still very close to the Night elves.
As for having a tail on a worgen well… we have now black BE, black gnomes, black dwarves… without any lore explanation, same with the new eyes for the BE and VE.
So i don’t see why a worgen having a tail could be lore breaking as… it was already thrown away for the sake of new customizations options. (and i’m the first to hate this)
I’m not against the option to have a tail but if i prefer to have an upright stance for the male worgens much more.
I’m curious to see what they will add for the worgens as for now… it’s still lacking to be satisfied.
Oh I know the arms for Werewolves in Skyrim are so long its not funny. To me its just showing that it can be animated in away where it don’t look like they are just bounce floating all the time.
What is forbidden in WoW don’t stay that way long… Yes I’m looking at you Night Elf Mages. But for the sake of options I’m ok with changes to the lore. Now just give Worgen an optional tail and a lore friendly 8 foot size and I would be happy.
If it was the old model I would agree with you but the updated Worgen model no longer looks like a Chihuahua so good try… But you fail. Go back to pasture for a few more months then we will see if your ready.
The last time Malfurion did anything of actual use was back in WC3 when he showed a williness to cooperate with the Alliance and Horde when Tyran-duh was all ‘Grrr outsiders kill’.
Honestly, night elves shouldn’t be allowed to forbid anything as they have such an awesome track record of screwing things up in their hubris and hypocrisy.
Anyway getting off my soap box now. Ahem… give worgen tail options please.
Draenei and Female Red Pandas on the Alliance side beg to differ. But you do bring up a good point. Tauren, Panda’s and Vulperia for the Horde and Draenei, Panda’s and Worgen (Optional) for the Alliance would be nice to see.
Many Gilnean worgen have a love-hate relationship with the worgen curse. Remember Darius Crowley faught alongside former Wolf Cultists in Silverpine Forest, and was gave the Hillsbrad Refugees cups full of his blood to spread the curse. But he would not give it to his own daughter, which was then used against him by Sylvanas, forcing him to retreat. And then with Genn Greymane, it does indeed say in the novel Wolfheart that he has come to embrace the curse and prefers his worgen form, but we see in the worgen heritage questline that he would rather die than give the curse to his wife or daughter, and even thanks the Light every day that they were not bitten during the fall.

There are several who enjoy hunting and living as a worgen, such as Eadrik, while there are others who search for a cure, like Oliver Harris. Gilneas as a whole still refers to it as a “curse”, and searches for a cure, and so the kaldorei are fine with them. There are groups of worgen that embrace the worgen curse as a gift, however, which the kaldorei treat differently. Some of these make up the Nightbane Pack, which we have seen in Legion and again in BfA that the Night Elves oppose, studying and kidnapping them for experiments.
To my knowledge, the Pack From is still banned. We have seen wolf form used by a worgen (Garwal) and a satyr (Alzzin) ingame, but never a Cenarion druid. There was even a book item in Legion alpha called Druids of the Pack, described to be “A cautionary tale of pride and hubris, and of the many dangers of shapeshifting.” Goldrinn is heavily reveered by Gilnean worgen, who can become druids, but we have never seen Cenarion worgen druids use pack form. Goldrinn himself has even fought alongside Cenarion Druids of the Claw on the Broken Shore, who take cat form to aid him rather than wolf form.
Again, that’s color, someone in the thread before me mentioned that pigment mutations in hair, fur, and skin occur far more regularly than extra limbs. Personally, I do hope we get more black options for worgen. The black lycan “Raze” played by writer and executive producer Kevin Greviouxis is my favorite character from the Underworld franchise, and I have a worgen deathknight “Deephowl” I cannot wait to customize more accurately.

At least in Underworld, as crazy as it can be, if someone looks different or has extra limbs, it is explained why. That is all I ask, if we are going to be pinning the tail on the worgen.
