I certainly will. I hope that you can too, the stress this conversation has had on you is palpable. Do try and relax, and enjoy those Worgen tails!
On races that have canonically had horns their entire lives. Worgen have not. Again, a quest explaining how Jimmy came into the possession of a mutation is different and totally valid.

Sprouted them through a mutation! Yes! Exactly what I’m saying worgen could get a quest involving.
A mutation? You mean like, say, a Worgen curse.
The worgen curse has never caused a tail involved in the mutation. We would need a quest to take it further. To elaborate on why this strand of the curse has changed over time. Whether it be becoming closer to the wolf form, or some kind of change elsewhere in the emerald dream. Something to have it make sense.

Exactly. Folks keep forgetting that it’s literally a magical curse.
MAGICAL.
CURSE.

The curse is already established with it’s current form. You’d need new lore to justify tails. Personally Iean toward it being a different group of Worgen entirely, as a change to the existing Worgen is… unlikely. But it could still be a barber option.
No one is arguing that having a tail couldn’t make sense, it’s that you’re trying to change what’s already established.

Never saw Demon Hunters without horns before.
I wouldn’t say no, but I wouldn’t say it’s a necessity either.
Demon Hunters were established with horns. We can have hornless demon hunters.
Why? The original Worgen, the Night Elven variety, had tails. Why doesn’t the Gilnean strand?

Where in-game do we see tailed Worgen?
If they exist and aren’t just wolf models, there’s your basis for a new Allied Race.
Even if it’s just in books, there’s your basis. Build on that, not existing playable Worgen.
Pack form, nice.

…Pookie, the demon hunters without horns were the elves prior to devouring the demon. Example: A blood elf priest who worked for Kael’thas in Netherstorm is sent to the Black Temple as “reinforcements”. She is then chosen to be a demon hunter. Prior to her rituals and binding of the demon, she is trained in physical combat and the outter use of fel, as an adept. That is the demon hunter prior to horns. After devouring the demon, harnessing the fel on an internal level, etc, the horns then break through the skull. The Illidan novel covers it in detail.
Side note, the illidan novel also covers how horrifically taxing it is. People claw out their own eyes because of the absolute havoc the demon wrecks on the mind of the person who ate it, resulting in them not being able to take it. Others do it manually, but the night elf in question ripped out his own eyeballs with his fingers.
The original strand of the Worgen curse turned Night Elves into literal dire wolves, complete with tails. When the curse spread to Gilneas, they suddenly didn’t have tails. Even when the Night Elves adopted an in-between form, they still had tails.
I’m starting to think I’m the only one here who’s read the comics.

They have all the same abilities as the ones who choose to have horns. So no. They are not.
Really stupid question: Why aren’t we just asking for night elf worgen with a variation in skeleton, tails included, and all the other stuff?
Read the rest of the post. Use that. Advocate for that. Not Gilean Worgen with tails.

Can’t we have both? Pretty sure we can have both.
Yuck! I already play a Night Elf and a Blood Elf, I don’t need more elves in WoW, I need more Worgen with tail!

No, because one would be an AR. The worgen still need an AR. A bigger worgen with changes in fur texture, tails, eyes, voices, etc - there’s your worgen AR. That makes the most sense out of anything said in this thread.
