If I Had A Coin For Every Time A Tauren Became A High Ranking Pirate

I’d have at least 3 coins.

Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened at least 3 times.

What’s with Tauren and piracy?

Makes so much sense since a humongous Tauren is the perfect candidate for the tiny cramped quarters onboard a ship…

Make it at least four, I just remembered that Plunderstorm happened.

Yea it works well for them. Their size makes them look like they’d be a leader.

It’s obvious. Tauren like booty.

In Dragonlance series, Minotaurs were portrayed as being a well skilled seafaring race. This is also reflected in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe with bull-men being sailors.

Dragonlance books:
Huma of the Lance
Kaz the Minotaur
Land of the Minotaurs

When’s the last time they had a general update in their story? They’ve been ignored for a long time…

It’s called wet brine aging, look up Guga on Youtube and check out his experiment with sea water :smiley: :cut_of_meat: :plate_with_cutlery:

Landlocked race with no access to the ocean from their city makes the most sense to be piratical leaders.

Piracy is primarily about being intimidating enough that either the officers of a vessel decide it’s better to take the loss than fight it out, or failing that the crew is shaken enough to surrender anyway (and then the pirates beat on the officers for good measure).

If I saw a 600lb+, 8-foot tall minotaur carrying weapons weighing more than the average sailor and shrugging off bullets, I’d be extremely incentivized to surrender.

It’s because tauren are nomadic wanderers, and the pirate is the nomad of the sea, traveling where the wind takes them, no home but their ship, no flag but their own.

It kind of does, in the sense that the tauren have no organic navy so if one of them does feel like being a seafarer, their options are to either join an orc crew or go independent.
