By controlling their emotions via medication, magic, and self-discipline, worgen may resist being overcome by their feral instincts. After the transformation, those that are overcome by rage and guilt gradually lose all vestiges of their former lives and turn mindless. Being bitten by or drinking the blood of a worgen transmits the worgen curse and causes humans and night elves to be transformed into one. They primarily inhabit forests and are natural hunters. Worgen are large, lupine humanoids that walk upright, but hunt and howl as wolves, and lope on all fours to run. “Remember that the beast in the shadows might be your salvation.”
