They’re never explicitly stated to not have tails, just like tons of modern customization we’ve received.
Normal eyes, glowing eyes, brown skin blood elves, curly hair humans… the list goes on. We only need an excuse when they were explicitly told to not look or have this characteristics… if it is never stated, you don’t have to put a lore reason other than, it’s always been there.
Key the Manari getting a questline… cause we know the draenei do not have red skin.
I can not remember even seeing a werewolf in the movies having tails. The underworld series, Silver Bullet, Trick or treat, Wolfen. I can not even seeing a tail on the werewolf in the movie American Werewolf in London.
Theres many more movies that the werewolfs do not have tails neither, so to me, this is the reason tails were never considered by the devs at the time when they were released in game.
Despite the tails, the current native being fed to Worgen is terrible especially for what the race was orginally being sold as and even the current in game Worgen introduction quest
Eh, it’s Victorian Gothic. Not the savage, bestial creatures of the great beyond that you’re trying to paint them as (though I miss those days. I really do.)
