Dont know, have not bought any off the hoof lately lmao.

400 doesnt seem enough to me. 400 is what id imagine a kul tiran or pandaren to be.

Tauren seem a lot bigger than orcs, yet weigh near the same?

My first thought was 300lbs, the way tauren run, fall dead, I was going by in game physics for my second guess of 220. I would think 400lb would be too far off the mark.

Whenever I play my tauren druid and shaman they seem slow when moving.

Myabe Wowhead is wrong.

400 pounds for a female Tauren perhaps? Not a adult male there closer to 600 if you study there frame and height and muscle layout.

I can bear it. I volunteer as tribute.

About 3 washing machines.

Maybe around 2400 bananas.

2474140 bees.

32790 party balloons.

Give or take.

I think that weight for the human male and their general mass seems quite low. I would add at least another 20lbs

As for tauren, if we have any comparison to RL anatomy:

"Adult bulls may weigh between 500 and 1,000 kg (1,100 and 2,200 lb). "

I could, but it’d get me banned from the forums.

Hmm, about 400-500lbs from what I guess ,if their really big(very rarely) close to a thousand ,why do you ask? You’re not making a BBQ are you and not inviting. :slightly_frowning_face:

In fairness, it’s just pulling from the Warcraft Roleplaying Game rules for its weight table (note that you do need to read the text, the table itself is laid out in a way that doesn’t make sense without context from the text).

See:
Imgur

And, yes, yes, it’s non-canon, but for a lot of nitty gritty stuff like this that doesn’t matter to non-roleplayers, it’s the last “relevant” data we have.

I see. Well that is very silly. For all their muscle mass to weigh that much they’d be like 5 feet tall.

36

That’s the minimum/base. You’re meant to roll for the height mod, then roll for the weight mod, multiply those together, and add the total to the base weight.

37

I do agree FWIW, its just that this is the only time Blizzard actually gave any reference at all for weight so that’s why the website uses it.

We only cook elves in this game. Mostly as they come with an easy firepit they call home.

Tauren are big guys so I think the weight should be more. They are from what I gather 6 or more tall husky bodied plus furry. Unless their mostly fur, I doubt that.

At lest my weight not known :smiling_imp:

You can estimate based on similar races tho. Take Male Troll and make the mods a d8 instead of d6 or something, Ends up being like 6’ 9" / 250# average. Maybe slap on like 20lbs for the wings?

That’s 0 research though. If they’re like 10ft or something nevermind lmao
