Homebrew Worgen Species Details

Worgens are vicious humanoid wolves, a curse thrown
upon them by careless druids mingling in powers that were
beyond them. The druids turned into the first worgen, feral
and uncontrollable, they were sealed away for countless
years when night elves realized that their bite was able to
transfer the curse to others.
When the forsaken sieged the kingdom of Gilneas, the
worgens were released from their imprisonment to fight
the undead. The feral worgens were effective, but did not
differentiate undead from human. The feral worgens never
entered Gilneas, but the humans did. Spreading the curse
through the kingdom like wildfire. Realizing their mistake,
the night elves came to gilneas rescue to offer their aid,
they evacuated as many people as they could, and sailed
them to their homeland in Teldrassil. There, night elven
druids taught the gilnean people how to control the feral
curse that lingered in their veins. Some gilneas were so
fascinated by the elves magic and connection to druidism,
that they were taught their ways.

Fierce and Vicious
With their massive shapes of a cross between a human and
wolf, and the razor sharp claws, worgens appear like evil of
a children's tale to those unaware of their existence. They
loom over the heads of humans, ranging well over 6 feet to
just under 8 feet. Their furry bodies often make them seem
much larger than they are, yet with their massive bodies
they weigh between 220 to 310 pounds. Males and females
are about the same height and build, with the only distinct
difference being a males mane.
Worgen fur varies widely in coloration, with shades of
black, gray, and brown being the most common amongst
the worgen kin, even if the worgen had light colorations in
skin or hair as a human. Worgen eyes vary like humans,
from a light blue to a deep brown.
More than just Ferocious
With their wild appearance it is easy to think of a worgen
as a vicious beast. Yet most still carries the properties they
had in their human life. The curse will always linger in
their blood, giving many worgen's a shorter temper than

they might've had before. Yet they carry the same compas-
sion and determination as humans do, pushing themselves

forward to achieve ever greater things for themselves, their
newfound kin and that of the human.
Affiliation
Worgens are members of the Alliance, although the curse
of the worgen altered them physically, they are still humans
at their core and the founding race of the Alliance. Worgens

are respectful and trusts the races that have affiliated them-
selves with the Alliance. However, the gratitude and respect

they carry for night elves is hard to match and without their
aid the worgen race would still be feral and hostile to all.
Forsaken Hatred
Although no race, Alliance or Horde, trusts or truly likes
the forsaken, the gilnean hatred for the undead race goes

deeper than most. They have caused much harm to the gil-
nean people and lead to the demise of Kingdom of Gilneas,

a fact that worgens have and will never forget.

originating from humans, the infection of their blood with
the wolves has made them more unpredictable.
