Are murlocs sentient/self aware/sapient?

Or are they closer to beasts?

They’re absolutely sentient.

Yes. They’re definitely self aware. A little belligerent at times but definitely sentient.

They just don’t speak a language we can understand.

I wonder what a dog’s inner monologue would sound like.

They build villages, craft tools, and have spell casters.

Pretty sure they aren’t beasts.

They are still annoying, though.

As others have said, they are sentient, they have speech, use tools, make homes, give quests, and are demon hunters (not joking, actually in-game currently since Legion)

They’re sentient, but they wake up every morning and choose violence.

Actually that’s not quite true. It’s not a choice for them, it’s a question — a question whose answer is almost invariably YES.

Ironically their language, Nerglish, is basically Common for underwater races.

There’s cases of above-water people learning it too. Alextrasza seems to be at least moderately fluent.

Give it up, we’re not getting Azmerloth.

Yes, Murlocs have demonstrated all three at various points in time.

Tell that to the various Murlocs the player quests for over multiple expansions, including the entire village of them in Wrath with multiple murloc quest givers.

Do note that I said “almost always.”

It’s not their fault they are usually always minding their own business on a beach somewhere and we keep stomping over their lawn and trying to kill them, I’d be angry too.

tbf they do be attacking other various places…

sometimes on my front lawn or in my stew pot

I did say usually, there are occasions of them being out of their own areas with their homes and such, but that is a low amount of the time compared to the majority they are hanging out among their homes on a beach or lake and we come to kill them or steal their things

Forget it, Jack, it’s Azmerloth

You get one to half health and then it runs a way to bring back twenty of its friends for petty revenge. Definitely sentient.

thats fair.
but they did take alot of our stuff…

We should get Azmerloth’s version of Death Wing.
Randomly spawns and goes on a rampage.
