I think the Ascended ones might be playable later on.
Mainly because their queen is dead, and Xal just kinda abandoned them to their fate lol.
Haranir are also a likely possibility.
Me thinks lightforged undead and those Trolls are more likely.
The better question is, if they did make a Nerubian playable race, would the arachnophobia filter work on your own character?
Because then they’d be effectively adding two races at once. Spider people and crab people

Dwarves aren’t native to Azeroth. They’re descendants of Earthen, created by cosmic entity space aliens that call themselves titans.
Trolls seem to be the only thing native to Azeroth, but I could be missing that piece.
We should all leave Azeroth lol

Give me playable Nerubs, please, I already made a RP character for one! c:
Trolls and Elves, since Elves are just descendant from Trolls.
The Titans built Azeroth as she is, and all their creations are the new natives of this world. Savage bug races and gross trolls have been left behind by evolutionary processes, and should go the way of the dodo. They lack sentience and therefore are not people.
Blizzard usually just re skin current races and play them off as “new” so we’ll likely get a playable Raccoon or 4th dwarf race before Nerubians.
With dracthyr initially as a single class, I’d be fine if they added like 3-4 more neutral races this expansion but each one gets like 1-3 classes at most. Nerubian rogues and priests, harronir druids, hunters and warriors, arathi paladins and priests.
I think the more obscure races like nerubian would make little sense if they go for the treatment kul tiran and zandalari got which was writing them to have as many classes as possible, keep them confined to where the story points them to being trained the most, then if over world soul they want to train them in news ways have it a slow roll out.
