It's not wrong. It is a worg, just a specific type of worg that looks different.

I disagree. Its still wrong. This thing is less connected to a wolf than I am.

... which, to be perfectly frank, is a "dreadful picture with plastic rendering, garish colours and bad posing":

The humanoids in the picture could use some work. But I stand by the dragon looking awesome.

A bit too much "mud coloured" for me. Doesn't really stand out.

Hmmm, so the kruthiks have changed from plains creatures to subterranean, I wonder why they went this route. Looks like they kept the 3 stages of advancement intact, though I liked their previous illos better...

As that, I like it; as the default worg, I wasn't enamored. I'd be fine with a default worg that didn't look exactly like an evil semi-intelligent wolf (for example, the worgs in Two Towers would be fine) -- but that particular image (from the D&D Art Preview) is a bit too spiny & gaunt to fit the role I would use worgs for.

The Kruthiks art doesn't really look finished. Reminds me of one of the intermediate steps you'd see in a digital art tutorial. As a rough styled piece, it is fine... just seems less polished than the others we've seen previewed.

I really like the worg, though. Again, 4E is challenging people's preconceived ideas of what D&D is or can be. The sense of wonder has returned to the game.

I think it works. It was shooting for natural pigments, and i think it did it well. It would not have been well executed if parts of the image poped in this case. I think the simultaneous hue works for the creature type makes it part of the earth. think of it as well executed camouflage ;p

Is there any way you can get the website folks to correct the label & description text or perhaps post the correct picture instead?

Sure, I don't have a problem with the choice, but it does make the picture less interesting, a better picture would have made up for it with composition, positioning or an action scene somehow, I see this picture as the equivalent of a picture of an assassin vine which isn't currently strangling anybody.

with the worg art i think it's just a idea of what a worrg coeld look like, you coeld use the stats and give it any look you like as long as the creature is simular in shape and has the same attack modes.
personaly i kind of like the lotr worgs http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/9342_image01.jpg
