This beast looks like a fire-red wolf with a malevolent intelligence in its face and eyes Smoke curls from it's jaws and it's fangs glow with heat.
Worgs are sinister wolves that have attained some intelligence and an evil disposition. They sometimes associate with other evil beings, particularly goblins, whom they serve as mounts and guardians. Cinder Worgs are Worgs that have been magically altered by the Goblins of the Cinder Plains.
Worgs usually live and hunt in packs. Their favored prey is large herbivores. Although they typically stalk and kill young, sick, or weak animals, they don’t hesitate to hunt humanoids, particularly when game is scarce. Worgs may stalk humanoid prey for hours or even days before attacking, and choose the most advantageous terrain and time of day to do so (during the predawn hours, for example).
A typical worg has gray or black fur, grows to 5 feet long and stands 3 feet tall at the shoulder. It weighs 300 pounds. More intelligent than their smaller cousins, worgs speak their own language. Some can also speak Common and Goblin.
COMBAT
Mated pairs or packs work together to bring down large game, while lone worgs usually chase down creatures smaller than themselves. Both often use hit-and-run tactics to exhaust their quarry. A pack usually circles a larger opponent: Each wolf attacks in turn, biting and retreating, until the creature is exhausted, at which point the pack moves in for the kill. If they get impatient or heavily outnumber the opponent, worgs attempt to pin it.
Trip (Ex): A worg that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+3 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the worg.
Breath Weapon (Su): 15-foot cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 2d6 fire, Reflex DC 15 half. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Searing Bite (Su): A Cinder Worg deals an extra 1 point of fire damage every time it bites an opponent, as if its bite were a fire weapon.
Skills: A worg has a +1 racial bonus on Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks, and a +2 racial bonus on Hide checks.
*A worg has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
