I saw a WoWhead article about a new NPC we’ll meet in Dragonflight.
I thought this was pretty cool and am glad Blizzard is making strides at diversifying the lineup of NPCs in all manners. I feel characters with disabilities (especially invisible ones) tend to not get that much representation.
While I’m able-bodied I’m really happy to see this and cannot wait to interact with Sansok!
Hopefully there will be many more characters like this in the future.

Why care? Such a pointless thing. Will they be spotlighting the next random piece of paper on a desk too?
Didnt wod have a blind orc?
This isnt really new for them
Never mind that at the same time people with a Disability are neglected by keeping something like the Slime Cat out of LFR.
I know drek’thar is blind, but he’s old school and from AV.
Maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but I don’t recall a big lore character who is deaf, I don’t even remember a quest NPC. Maybe there are.
Also with a sign language interpreter, I think that’s super cool and new.
Not sure if they have done a deaf character before
My response was to the idea that they are going woke. Because theyve had a prominent character with a different sensory disability before. So this cant be called a new thing for blizzard to include others.
WoW is full of people with severe handicaps: All demon hunters are blind, and entire orc clan chops it’s hand off, Drek Thar is blind AND crippled, Vol’jin is dead and Mekkatorque is a gnome.
Gnomes are cool!
They just need to change their walking animation to not be a waddle
All of that was made before derangement syndrome took hold of the populace, so it isn’t special.
Yes, that Orc clan that chopped off their hand replaced it with a blade, totally disabled.
I don’t care, I feel every little thing that is ‘inclusive’ or ‘diverse’ needs to be celebrated in some way here in the West.
Chop off your hand, get a fully working hand prosthetic and then sit back and enjoy your disability payments/status (at least in the USA). It’s a disability.
neat.
idk tbh the only strange part is the " best hunter "
best hunter = best hunter
best hunter =/= chief.
then again, idk centuar culture.
Well, until there’s a portal that connects our two planes, they stuck there.
Sounds beyond amazing.
You know how in doctor who they show the cybermen as a warning about technological advancement?
I hope within my lifetime i can swap out all my body parts with robotic ones.
Robotic joints. Bones of steel.
You could do a marathon no problem
I heard about this NPC in another thread.
That is so cool! 
At that point would gating ksm mount behind 2k io be a problem? What about aotc mount at that point?
Is this the first deaf NPC? I know Softfoot was mute. And we’ve had a few blind NPC’s.
ay waoh that’s too far! >:(
