A large and brutish canine, the worg has been described as &#8216;to a wolf what an orc is to a man'; bigger, stronger, and more illtempered. Packs of worgs may be found roaming the wild places of the world, and are sometimes kept as pets and status symbols by the wealthy and powerful, ill-advised as this may be. However, they are most commonly associated with goblins, with whom they share a pack instinct, bestial cunning, and a vicious streak.
