🥓 Worgen Lore - Ask me questions!

There is no conclusive lore to suggest druids have an easier time becoming worgen. The only instances we know of would be Night Elf druids, who seem to have as much trouble as any other human, and Gilnean Harvest Witches, who we do not see much of. However, you could say it is easier for a druid in different ways.

Lifestyle

The big one is lifestyle. Once the first change is complete, a worgen will feel the need to run and hunt, and to be outdoors. As described in the post above, worgen possess wolf instincts. For many Gilneans, who pride themselves of being cleanly human nobles, the very instinct of wanting to be outside may be enough to call it a curse.

But if a druid is already accustomed to being outside, then such instincts would not be bothersome. If a druid already knows about Goldrinn, they would not find it alien to be drawn to him. If a druid is already familiar with shapeshifting, then the act will not feel nearly as bizarre.

Druidic Perks

The worgen curse is connected to the goddes of balance Elune, and the wild god of the forest Goldrinn. There is a direct spiritual connection, giving worgen their appearance, instinct, and rage directly from Goldrinn. Bonded to a wild god, this race finds their druidic potential amplified, now capable of shapeshifting and far more, as seen by the Inconspicuous Bears outside Gilneas.

Therefore, where a Gilnean noble may find the curse to be a hindrance if they still wish to hold balls and banquets, the curse actually presents itself as quite a power boost to druids and helpful in their daily lives. Again, I doubt the being a worgen or controlling it is any different, but the perspective may be.

That may depend on the social circle. Worgen seem to do well in military, getting to vent their rage on forsaken. They also do exceptionally well in packs of their own kind, but can also live by themselves (Celestine of the Harvest) or with a few choice friends (Fiona).

Sounds like a character trait to me! Worgen senses are greatly heightened… though taste is never mentioned besides enjoying the taste of meat and blood. I know from experience most dogs do not prefer hot sauce, but others will continue eating anyways. Likewise with humans, some - like myself - enjoy the thrill like a good horror movie or a rollarcoaster. Others - like le girlfriend - can’t handle Frank’s Red Hot. It varies for humans, and it varies for canines, therefore I would assume it would vary for worgen.

I can! In fact my in-game lore night, Purity of Essence, just covered this just this week. I have yet to get it uploaded into a document, but here is last year’s event. It will relay the tale of the Bloodmoon Pack in story format, and was written in realtime as I retold it to the audiance of Stormwind. I will be uploading this year’s soon as well.
