I do not eat the flesh of things I have fought beside. [He makes a point not to now that he's free from the Lich King's control. Because HONOR!!!!!!!!] I am not some Bonechewer.

Shall I give you a history lesson, pup?

A few generations ago, my kind hunted and foraged on a wild planet. Our enemies were larger than you can imagine. We were the prey. Even the plants turned against us, spreading like a plague, infecting every living thing it could find and robbing them of all thought. We were besieged on all sides by the other races. They would gladly eat us or enslave us if we were not fast or strong enough to resist.

Without our teeth and claws, we would have been wiped out entirely.
