Ruling/Clarification request: Do Worgs Talk?

Unread post by NegInfinity »

Do worgs speak common?

Online sources say that worgs have their own language and some of them can speak goblin or common.

Worgs are available as ranger/druid companions, they're magical beasts, and their intelligence is on intelligent race level (int 6 on bg).

So, can worgs speak?

I don't expect highly intellectual elaborate speech, of course.

Yes, they do speak. Their own language, pretty much called 'Worg' is something that can't be selected here.

However, since they can also speak Goblin and Common it's safe to say they have to be taught that. If you are playing a Ranger/Druid who has a Worg, it is perfectly acceptable to teach your Worg common or Goblin.

I just want to add that it's important to note that it's written that "some" worgs may be able to speak common and/or goblin. So it should be assumed that not every worg is capable of doing that and in fact probably most of them can't, but may be able to understand it.
