No, I think he means the relatively awesome one in post #584 of this thread. You must be thinking of something else.

I was replying to this bit:

I don't think they;re gonna top the awesome picture at the front of the Character Classes section in the PHB for White Dragon illustrations soon, if ever.

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

I have to say "No thank you." to the new Worg.

 

[Wormwood]

The art is awesome, but damn.. that is NOT a worg.

We have no idea what "worg" means in 4e, do we?

 

[GoodKingJayIII]

The new Worg design... blech. It looks like a humongous rat. How is that thing related to a wolf, exactly?

As a monster, I'd be cool with it. But I liked worgs better when they were enormous wolves with lots of spiky bits.

As mentioned in the OTHER art thread (hey, mods, can we get a merge?), that's a Guulvorg, a "war worg" creature created by hobgoblins. It was originally from the MM5.

Let's hope we'll see a "normal" worg somewhere in the MM

I was replying to this bit:

My apologies, I misinterpreted your post. And I'm inclined to agree.

 

[Greenfaun]

Yeah, I'm disappointed by the new worg too. It doesn't look wolflike, it doesn't look intelligent, and a goblin definitely couldn't ride it. (unless Goblins have a racial power that lets them resist big bony spikes to the crotch in 4e)

I'm certainly open to the possibility of there being design space for a spiky bity tail-clubbing ratdog thing in 4e but why do that to worgs?

 

[doctorhook]

I'm ok with these new worgs, although I definitely imagined them being hairier. (And by the looks of it, goblins will definitely be using saddles in the future, if there was ever any doubt before.)

 

[Moon-Lancer]

The art is awesome, but damn.. that is NOT a worg. I just saw the picture first, thinking "oh, it's a displacer beast or something? Cool.". Seriously.. hope we will start seeing some more mundane enemies soon.

The mundane is dead. Long live the mundane.

"and then when I sell my technology, EVERYONE will be special... and that way, no one will be."

I can respect a risky change to the worg look. I have always felt that worgs and dire wolves were too similar conceptually. I like it.
