So a worg would count as a 5th-level cohort (Hit Dice + level adjustment), which means you couldn't take one as a cohort at the lowest level you could take the feat (6th). But wait a few levels and you could do it.A worg doesn't make a good cohort though. They might have some trouble with magic items, I would think (the amulet of mighty fists is overpriced, especially for a creature that only gets one attack), although less than an animal companion (which basically has to share magic items with its master). Note that, over levels, a worg probably falls behind; it isn't going to get iterative attacks.CR is irrelevant. You only take that into account for a creature that will only last one encounter.</blockquote>
