New Halloween masks point to a new playable race?

Well, the folks over at Scrolls of Lore dug up some Halloween masks that have male and female Goblins - nothing new there - but a pair of werewolf, or Worgen, masks, as well. What's the curious thing about this? Well, we've never actually seen any female Worgen in the game, have we? Right. Well, there it is. A nice, pretty, green-eyed Worgen female mask. It may or not mean anything, of course, as these are just graphic files, or skins, placed on top of in-game models. But still... remember that Greymane Wall? Ever wonder why so many Worgen are outside of it? Remember how Blizzard hinted it would open up soon? Yeah. Just sayin'.
Many thanks to Tori for the tip! Also, Omacron links us to a blog stitching the faces together for a better look at the, uh, masks.

This also partially explains why Blizz went so crazy over the Worgen pet. It's not so much that it was a humanoid it's that it will be a future playable race.
Also, see "the list".

I know that has to be it, and that female Worgen looks kick ass, I cant wait to be able to play that race it we actually can.

I wish people would stop bringing up that fake list.

The list is the one true prophesy, also how do i change my commenting name?
Turlagh Jul 17th 2009 10:01PM
Yep. Shrek and Fiona. That's what it looks like to me. That's more interesting the the crittery faces.

it seems to me that blizz is introducing either;
a. neutral races or
b. a new faction
either of these would be intresting

Or you know, people like to dress up like werewolves for halloween...

Why would Blizzard go to the trouble of making a brand new male Worgen face and a new, never before seen female Worgen face? This is an art team that never got around to making female Taunka at all, and further, when they re-did the art for forest trolls, they left the female trolls alone. So suddenly, they've decided to put this much time and effort into a couple of Halloween masks?

I'm not sure this is actually "much time and effort" for their artists.
Ed Jul 17th 2009 3:30PM
Princess Fiona's going to be a playable race? O.o
You've got to admit it's pretty uncanny. :(
Fierod Jul 17th 2009 3:32PM
glad I'm not the only one who though the orc masks looked like shrek and fiona XD
Lorsty Jul 17th 2009 3:35PM
LOL, that's what I thought when I saw the "mask".
Neceseatie Jul 17th 2009 3:47PM
haha yea exactly what i thought , thought blizz teamed up with shrek for a promo or something.
Mailia Jul 17th 2009 3:59PM
I thought those were goblins.
Munky Jul 17th 2009 6:56PM
I didn't think they were Shrek and Fiona. I was pretty darned sure they were. Goblins? How about Ogres!
Paxtus Jul 17th 2009 3:32PM
Oh please, oh please, oh please....
ROB13 Jul 17th 2009 3:34PM
Oh please tell me this isn't true? Oh please tell me that we can play as Worgen and Goblins?
