'''Worgs''' are a generic [[Monstrosity]] and [[non-playable race]] found throughout [[Act One]] of ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]''. Vicious yet intelligent, these wolf-like creatures are often enslaved by [[Goblin|goblins]] to become savage guard dogs and hunting companions. | '''Worgs''' are a generic [[Monstrosity]] and [[non-playable race]] found throughout [[Act One]] of ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]''. Vicious yet intelligent, these wolf-like creatures are often enslaved and trained by [[Goblin|goblins]] to become savage warbeasts, guard dogs, trackers<ref>Lakrissa: Who knows, some of us might even make it to Baldur's Gate. | ||
Player: With trained worgs on your scent? Not likely.</ref>, and hunting companions. | |||
Worgs are more sentient than the average animal and are capable of rudimentary speech without the need for [[Speak with Animals]]. They are not considered especially intelligent, however. Similarly to goblins, worgs are rude to all races but drow, who they identify as their "master's master."<ref>Worg: Drow... master's master. No bite.</ref> They're from the ''Nordiland worgata'' family.<ref>Identified by the player in dialogue with Sentinel Olak. | |||
Player: Beautiful animal. Does she belong to the ''Nordiland worgata'' family? | |||
Sentinel Olak: How'd you know?</ref> | |||
Goblins use the catch-all term 'worg-meat' to describe any variety of meat fed to them. This often includes those who fall in battle with goblins<ref>Sharp-Eye Eef: Remember, you'll be worg food if you drop 'ere. Don't matter if yer friend or foe.</ref> or are taken prisoner<ref>Player: Were you the only prisoner here? | |||
Dead Elf: Goblins took... my friends. Cut them up... for the worgs. For meat.</ref>. | |||
The goblin tribe in [[Act One|Act 1]] have a pack of worgs, including [[Klaw]] and her litter: [[Small Klaw]], [[Ferr]], and [[Tale]]. Ferr and Tale are in the Worg Pens near a [[Halsin|prisoner]] and are driven mad with excitement.<ref>Butcher Vrak: 'Ere to see the bear? Just follow the noise. Worgs 'ave been goin' crazy for it. | |||
and | |||
T'''ale: Fur. Can't you smell the fur? Fur and meat. Lots of MEAT!''' | |||
and | |||
Ferr: Want it. Fur and meat. Kill it. KILL IT! | |||

[[Goblin Sharp-Eye]]s can summon Worgs using the [[Worg Companion]] ability.

* Several apparent sayings include worgs thoughout the game, including: "tough as worg meat", "hair of the worg", "greedy old son of a worg", and "straw that breaks the worg's back". <ref>Four: Sod off or I'll fetch my mum. She was tough as worg meat ''before'' the Absolute came along.</ref> <ref>Kobold Scout: Have some more wine, that'll sort you. Hair of the worg an' all that.</ref> <ref>Truffles Smythe: I hear Lorroakan was a greedy old son of a worg. I wonder who got all his loot?</ref> <ref>Mask of Regret: True, but there's a reason it's a straw that breaks the worg's back. She needs help - and fast.</ref> | |||
* One [[Vicious Mockery]] line mentions worg-roast, an apparently greasy meal that does not exist in-game. | |||
