What Is a Worgen?
A worgen is a human cursed to take the form of a wolf-like beast in World of Warcraft. Most playable worgen come from Gilneas, a walled human kingdom that looks like Victorian England. The curse spread through Gilneas, and its people learned to keep their minds while in worgen form.
Worgen became a playable Alliance race in the Cataclysm expansion in 2010. King Genn Greymane leads them. The curse began with the Scythe of Elune, an artifact of the night elves, as told on the Warcraft Wiki worgen page.

- Show the worgen side in the surname. A feral surname like Ashclaw or Nighthowl marks a worgen who embraces the beast.
