🥓 Worgen Lore - Ask me questions!

Worgen Digestion and Baker’s Chocolate

I had a whole post typed up on this one, preparing to respond back in December when you posted. I ended up doing math, comparing charts, researching enzymes, and came to the sophisticated conclusion that I have no idea. Curse of the Worgen paints worgen as the “balanced” form between man and wolf, and Wolfheart supports this calling even Greymane and his pack “carnivores”. There are several NPCs ingame that thirst for meat, and Anduin in Before the Storm appreciates that a worgen army can feed themselves just by hunting. The sources definitely support that worgen can live and thrive on meat, but it is unclear if a high dose of theobromine would be harmful or not.

The general consensus regarding chocolate and werewolves in other literature is that it takes a large amount of chocolate to event effect a large dog, and werewolves are far larger and often far heartier, thus it would take an absurd amount to effect a werewolf. And while Worgen do not have the classic healing factor, they are resistant to undeath thanks to their ties to not one but two benevolent deities. So when it comes to lore, I have no definite answer there, at this time. But when it comes to roleplay… we know when it comes to people, everyone’s metabolism is a bit different, and some people are able to digest certain foods better than others. Your character’s ability or inability to easily digest a food such as chocolate could be an interesting character trait to explore, similar to Raedolf’s allergy to cats. Every meal has to be cat-free now.
