Cataclysm Beta: Worgen emotes and back flip video

Worgen have recently gotten a little bit of an upgrade in the Cataclysm beta. All of their voice emotes now have appropriate sounds to go along with them, and some of their emotes have new animations. Also, like the night elves, worgen now do a flip randomly while jumping. This is, however, a back flip -- and it looks pretty cool. The video above contains a complete catalog of all the available emotes and audio and shows off the new worgen back flip. You also get a chance to see the male worgen dance in action if you've missed it before -- and it is all done with a spiffy top hat to add that little touch of class.
Female worgen have yet to be fully implemented in the beta, so we will just have to wait to see if they get any special emotes or animations to go along with them.
Be sure to have your speakers turned up a bit, the sound came out a little soft.

The backflip is at the end for anyone just looking for that.

And the emotes with sound starts at 0:50 for those wondering why he's not making any noise.

Interesting... back flip is the signature move from the actor who plays the werewolf in the Twilight movies. Just saying...

I want that top hat!
And where did Blizz take that dance from?

Justin Timberlake. Decent enough, but...not Thriller. Not interested.

I was hoping for something a bit more classic like Fred Astaire but this move feels a bit like that.

We all know raid portals don't work unless you jump into them. What happens if you backflip into one?

It's how you get to the secret underground part of Kara! :)

Nobody knows. The last person to try was Amelia Earhart...

Wow, did anyone else trip out for the 'Roar' emote?
It gave me chills. Very awesome, it's nice to have an alliance race that really feels ferocious. Hell, I'd go as far to say that the worgen are more ferocious than most of the Horde races themselves...

I know! I absolutely freaked out! I've actually seen the roar before in another youtube video, where that was all the user showed and it was amazing. I absolutely adore the male worgen and think they have done an unbelievably fantastic job on them. They look so ferocious, but I still feel like there's an elegance about them, as seen in their bows and salutes. And, I think the voice in Worgen form sounds pretty darn incredible, too. I seriously couldn't be happier with the male Worgen right now. The female Worgen, though, that's another story, entirely. :(
Dreyja Sep 27th 2010 2:26PM
Oh yes, the roar is PURE WIN! :D

Had to watch it again with the sound turned up ... yeah, that's awesome.

"The beast in me hungers!"
I'm so going to use that the next time I need to say "Hello!". Perfect for restaurants too.

i thought for sure the worgen would turn around three times before lying down.
