Well, aren’t you quite the adorable little ruffian! A vulpera named Foxhound, in a guild called Star fox, playing a rogue, with even a little mask to boot! Is there a vulpera adoption agency I can contact regarding you?

Madam, there is no reason for you to behave in such a rude, ferocious, and utterly unladylike manner. The OP was merely asking a question that they are no doubt a tad ignorant about. I shall be monitoring your posts closely throughout this thread, I even have a half a mind to raise the matter with the moderators.

9/10 I usually say space goat, but when I’m being serious is druh-NIGH.

I feel like the 2nd half of the name is obvious and doesn’t need explanation. People who get that part wrong are bad and should feel bad.

The first part is what trips people up.

I’ve always said it like “Dray”, because it’s how I first read it and frankly needing to say ‘Draenei’ out loud doesn’t come up very often.

Voice Acting in-game seems to largely be “Drah” (almost like “Druh” since it’s fast), with more emphasis starting on the “N”, like like how you generally put more emphasis on the “L” in “alive”.
