Sethrakk.

Really unique model and first reptilian playable race. Pretty sure they’d be popular.

The kitty people and plant guys from Draenor.

Though knowing Blizzard, they would give both of those races to Horde and the Alliance would get three colors of podlings.

  • Jinyu/Ankoan
  • Arakkoa
  • Sethrak
  • Tuskarr
  • Tortollan
  • Tol’vir
  • Saberon

Unlikely you will get “best pitches” for allied races in so much as pitches for what said person wants.

pure blood elves but for the alliance

Jinyu. Already have the established ability to be Warriors, Priests, and rogues. Mage, Hunter, Monk, and DK could easily follow suit. They already share a skeleton with the Night Elf males, so it wouldn’t be a huge hassle to make gear work on them. Also already established as fighting for the Alliance in Pandaria and remaining ties with them as emissaries at Boralus harbor.

Easily one of the most unique races we have seen in this game, just to be abandoned for nearly a decade.

Ah! This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

Everyone else its still nice to see your desires please continue!

I was hoping for a tad bit more explanation for it. More of an Elevator Pitch as it were.

Nonetheless still nice to see everyone giving their suggestions.

I want to see gilgoblins added as an allied race as I think it would be neat to have an aquatic race playable and they should have been playable 8.3. They have all the lore setup to be playable already and are even hanging out in durotar.

Ethereals because they’re space mummies that could have mummy camels as their racial mount.

Also for anyone who says they can’t do Saberon because of no female model here is Blizzard official art of a Female Saberon Demon Hunter.

Edit to fix link since it broke for some reason.

Saberon

Faction: Honestly don’t care which faction so long as we get them.

Classes: Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warrior, Priest and mage (maybe druid)

Racials:

Nine Lives: Allows the Saberon to cheat death once every two hours and increases the distance it takes to sustain fall damage.

Feline Fisherman: Adds a skill bonus to fishing.

Racial Mount:
Not a clue

WIP.

San’layn/Undead Elves

Faction: Horde

Classes: Hunter, Rogue, Death Knight, Mage, Warrior, and Priest/Warlock

Racials:

Sanguine Siphon - A % leech bonus

Pernicious Glamour- Take on the appearance of the target, confusing them and becoming unattackable for X seconds.

Children of the Night: Regenerates Health % quicker at night.

Racial Mount:
Become a Cloud of Bats

This is seriously one of the very best ideas for a new playable race.

When I got the silas proc for transformation during bfa, and it turned me to a tortollan, I swear it was such a weird but fun feeling when running around as one :stuck_out_tongue:

Saberon. Because people like cats.

Saurok, because if EQ could have a lizard race we can too.

High elves because demand makes people buy the supply.

We have a gnome race.
We have a mechagnome race.

What we don’t have, is a 3 gnomes in a trenchcoat race.
