In many comics, manga, and games a goblin can evolve into a hobgoblin or were natural born in that way. In WoW they are just mutants with a 3-5 year lifespan? Goblins started out as an ancient tribe that were enslaved by jungle trolls. Some must have remained that way as most started becoming inventors in trade and investors in business. Pretend some of them evolved into natural hobs living in an underground city, built deep within Isle of Kezan, isolated or never seen by modern goblins? Similar to how dark trolls become the first elves, these hobs have a decent life expectancy. They would have the blessing of elemental beings instead of a well. The greatest of their warriors, shamans, hunters are known as “Hob-Lords”, similar to the Highborne (Old Night Elf Nobility). They are not as deformed as their mutant cousins, about the height of an elf or human.
We should start making a list of races and classes never used in WoW.
So…
Hobgoblins.
Witches.
Basilisk.
Djin.
Fairies.
Fauns.
Gremlin (c’mon, who doesnt want to play a gremlin)
Harpies.
Kitsune.
Leprechaun (perhaps a new race of gnomes…)
Mermaids.
Selkies.
Sylphs.
Undines.
Valkyries.
Wendigo.
I’m sure there are more but there are lots of options that don’t come from fantasy stories like LotR, etc.
Hobgoblins only have a 3 to 5 year lifespan in the Warcraft universe because they’re basically slaves to the Goblins, and being a Goblin slave isn’t a very healthy lifestyle…
Mermaids.
Got you covered there!
