Blizzard Reveals WoW: Cataclysm's Female Worgen

[MorganL4]

I think Blizzard has done a pretty good job here of striking a fine line between "feral badass" and "nice to look at."

umm I just wanna point out...to be politically corret they are feral bad bitches not feral bad asses

 

[Iznat]

I kinda want one, but not if everyone does. I'll wait ^_^
They're pretty though, but I think I might prefer the Tauren for animal crossovers.

Head needs major work, looks too much like a cat or a fox, kind of like something a bad furry artist would draw.

 

[Danglybits]

You guys had to bring up furries? Really? The horde have had anthropomorphic cows since the beginning and all of a sudden they go all "lol furries" about this?

1. there aren't too many people with bovine 'fursonas' running around. They're all predators, most of which are canids. Edit: undulate furrs are usually horses but more often deer. Specifically white-tailed. But I did see a Pronghorn one once.

2. The Tauren head does not have the same kind of cartoony proportions or style.

3. There is nothing cute (the cuddly kind or not) about the tauren face - male or female.

To be honest I think the Worgen count more as "Otherkin" rather than "furry" in strict terms.

Fix'd.

So you get a choice between playing a male anthropomorphic dog and a female anthropomorphic cat.

Meh, I'm okay with it, since I won't be rolling a female anyway.

 

[Danglybits]

I think i've seen that model before... looks less like a wolf and more like some kind of cat-thing. Oh christ... so worgens will be the werewolf AND catgirl race? Gee am I glad I won't be around to see this happen.

I agree, its the short muzzle and the ears that make them look like cats. I just hope they don't shuffle-run like the female Dranei.

The only class I could possibly see this "working" as would be a druid. I am excited to get a goblin. Nothing in the terms of updates coming our way on them?

Oh and has anyone else noticed the spelling of "worgen" backwards?

Meh, it is probably a coincidence

 

[hannan4mitch]

Still won't make me buy WoW (15 bucks a month! Are you shitting me?!)

 

[Shamanic Rhythm]

Oh dear, World of Warcraft. Let's see how many more fantasy tropes we can reduce to hilarious stereotypes. I pity anyone who plays on an RP server.

 

[Wounded Melody]

OMG FURRY
(I know, late)

Fair enough.

Truthfully I never even tried to look either of those up on Wikipedia before, so I wasn't aware anyone else had written on the subject other than humor sites.

What do you guys think? Do you like how the female Worgen look? Are you more or less likely to create one now?

What do I think?
WHAT DO I THINK?

I think it's a f******g disgrace to Werewolf-fans across the world.
They've thrown away the classic awesome Worgen model to replace it with a f******g kitty-kat.
This pisses me off to no end. If I ever thought of getting Cataclysm just for the sake of it, THIS is what finally pulled the straw.

That is not a Werewolf, nor is it a Worgen.
Just No.

Not seeing the cat, man. It's pretty canine to me.

Really?
Let me show you it.

You should see now from where exactly the Female Worgen gets it's look from.

​

Definitely looks more like the bottom than the top. Only similarity is the short hair, and they'll have longer hair in-game.

ITT: Closet furries denying their base urges and trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls.

Seriously, they're not that bad. Goblins turned out much better than I thought though so now I'll have two new characters to level.

and that's another tick for the reasons I stopped playing wow and do not want to come back.
