If you could have one new race

I’ve always felt really underwhelmed by the ally races. To me, even though I have void elves, it’s just repackaged materiel with a smiley sticker on it telling us it’s awesome new content…

But, if you could have a completely new playable race. What would it be?

Mine would be dragons. I love them.

Naga, it’s not even a question.

I’ve wanted to play a Naga since WC3.

Sethrak!

PLEASE

I love them. They forgot a great design and some really killer lore. Adore their story. Love their Loa. Super cool race.

Naga

and with Mechagnomes not showing off pants/boots/gloves/bracers there is no excuse to not have Naga.

You’re playing some kind of fairy.

Fairies and elves being separate creatures is a relatively new consept.

Alliance have Worgens, so it’s only fitting for Horde to have Saberons as playable race. I would create Saberon rogue named Rengar so fast.

Ogres, hands-down, no second thoughts whatsoever. I want so badly to play an Ogre Mage.

came close, the mount animation was the deciding no no vote.

for me Saberon, the alliance has doggies, we get kitties.

This. It’s all I want for the Alliance and with the inclusion of Void Elves it would be pretty fluid and not forced.

Technically, I suppose. But I mean the old school, Celtic Aos Sí. Or in this game, creatures of the dream, like Dryads, or Fawns/Satyr (which were Greek-based, I know). Or Welsh pixies with wings.

Usually in fantasy, Elves are considered a normal species (not sure why, myself). Like in D&D they aren’t considered Fey. They tend to live in the same places as Fae, but are not strictly fairies.

vrykul or Mogu

I think the shadowlands fauns would be neat. I’d like to see something that isn’t a bipedal race too.
