Add any race as playable

what would it be? (Caveat is has to be a race that exists in warcraft lore).

Ethereals for me.

You don’t have to add playable high elves. They’re already playable.

I love the idea of playable furbolg poetically being reskinned Pandaren (since pandaren were originally reskinned furbolg in wc3). It’d also even out the druid races for horde/alliance. Plus bear turn into bear I need this in my life.

Ah! A true loremaster!

Not many people know that because it was only true in the Reign of Chaos version of WC3. The moment Frozen Throne came out and we got the Pandaren Brewmaster the original pandaren creep suddenly vanished.

You have no idea how much I need this. I managed to get the Might of the Grizzlemaw appearance for Guardian Druid from the Mage Tower.

Imagine a meek little bear getting picked on in a fight, and his “druid form” basically results in him jacking himself up and benchpressing everyone around him with his suddenly-gigantic muscles.

And then afterwards he just goes back to being a cuddle bear.

In the past Naga my answer would’ve been Naga, but I have since become far too apathetic to care anymore.

Addendum:

Also I’m slightly surprised no one has said Vrykul yet, considering how popular Vikings are in general.

Technically, Kul Tirans are the original humans which were direct offspring to Vrykul that suffered the Curse of Flesh. So there’s that.

Yeah the original pandaren creep was honestly creepy (HA!!!) Idk the panda colour on furbolgs looked off af to me. But yeah. When pandaren actually got lore in the expansion they became a hero unit and got their own model. In fact in was cata? I think when the pandaren brewmaster pet came to WoW. It’s interesting that I think only one quest in the original WoW mentioned pandaren at all considering how important Chen was to building ogrimmar. Kinda weird he wasn’t an npc in classic ogrimmar tbph.

San’ Layn. It’s a missed opportunity. I’d like another undead leader who ISN’T Sylvanas or ugh, Calia, to give Sylvanas a run for her money.

I’d love “in-tact” undead. But people are exhausted of the blood elf model re-use. It’d be nice if like the San’layn started turning a bunch of humans to repopulate their numbers because more humans then high/blood elves to turn. Cuz there are very few survivng San’layn. But then people will QQ that human model is on horde.
