By the way, they completely ‘retconned’ the whole Draenei lore at some point.
They used to be native denizens of Draenor, the world where orcs came from and all…
PS Obviously, hence the name, by the way. Then they retconned the lore of Eredar and Draenei, and it stopped making much sense. 
If you’re gonna provide a link to what wiki, you could at least use the ‘proper’ one, not the historic one: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Draenei .
Haven’t they been there since that expansion, TBK, if I’m not mistaken (not a WoW player)?
Yep. Even the accent has been there.
Truly?
Humanoid, with hooves (and this kind of legs to match, you know). Males have squiddy things on their faces, and women have horns, like she-goats. Speak with a fake Russian accent. The original uncorrupted ones are blue, most demonic ones (Manari, with apostrophes in whatever places) are RED (ugh), although Archimonde and Malchezaar are notable exceptions, and more… well… demonically looking. There are also ‘Broken’ and ‘Lost’, which are deformed and devolved draenei… don’t remember which is which, and some of them look like draenei from Warcraft 3, but you can check the wiki. I think it’s the ‘Lost’ ones, and they retconned the looks of ‘Broken’ like Akama (also Nobundo in WOW). As said, you could check the wiki for more details.
It’s not entirely your fault, if you ask me.
They’ve loosely based some races on real-world cultures, or at least took inspirations from them (e.g. Trolls and all this Afro-Caribbean stuff, language or accent, voodoo, loa; pandas etc, obviously, related to mostly Chinese culture and lore etc), and these aliens essentially, who looked like original Eredar (Archimonde from WC3), had a bunch of hillbilly or Hollywood stereotypes about Russians attached to them. Check it out: the first ones to do space travel; originally very pious (faithface in ze Light and all that), but the evil ones have turned RED (ugh, only a total redneck could come up with such a dull cliche, really); speaking, as said, in a stereotypical, Hollywoodish fake Russian accent; last, but not the least, their girls are passionate and loveable she-goats. It all seems to add up, but is kinda forced and artificial anyway, so, unlike those pandas, for instance, few seem to have even got those references — and even the stupid accent got lost in translation, as far as I know, and Russian players would probably be surprised if you told them all that or just laugh at it, not really relating it to anything from their culture.
So yeah, in short, you could say that they are essentially WoW’s alien fake (like, really fake, cartoonish) Russians from space (well, ‘the GDB’), but that’s not saying much.

Ugh… Those ‘elfs’, mon…
Well, technically, there have been cow paladins. Don’t remember in which expansion they were introduced, though. The Horde was imba, I think, since they had everything the Alliance had plus those exclusive Shamans.
Ooh, faction pride? 
Lol.
Well, anyway, here’s some for you, then: Zug zug! Put jah face in da light, mon!
Sounds better?
PS
(Of course, she is the most ridiculous of them all , but kinda has a point there, if you ask me, about all this faction pride)
