Look, just because repossessing her own body as a spectral undead that clearly can interact with the physical world anyway wasn’t a great plan doesn’t mean she’s not that unintelligent.
It just means that she has all the foresight of a can of cream corn.
Actually… you are correct.
Some undeath feel the need to breathe, though they can last at least a dozen days without taking a fresh breath of air
This comes from this item:

I think it’s a lore oversight. In Before the Storm she chooses not to breathe when she meets Anduin at the Gathering. It’s explained as a conscious choice. I don’t think it’s so much Tyrande was choking her as she was trying to sever her head with her bear hands. Sylvanas must still feel an echo of pain or panic at her potential “death”
If i am nit mistaken, nathanos should be still alive even with his head choped off.
Undeads arent killed that easly. But alas, now choping undead heads works
Yes choking sylvannas was stupid, that cant work.
I love how everyone forgets how stupid strong Aquaman is even outside his element.
It’s been asked above, but it’s true. Blizzard has a hard time describing undead, especially Forsaken. You have the clearly undead like your average ghoul, skeleton, and zombie, but Forsaken seem to sit in that weird region that’s not quite undead, but also not alive, either.
Death Knights are the same way, for that matter.
I mean…talking cows.
One thing to remember is that Tyrande has been hopped up on Night Warrior juice. Normally it’s quite difficult to kill undead but her attacks would’ve been magically enhanced which could make the difference.
Poltergust.
its a natural reaction to rage, anger, and animosity to want to choke someone. It appeals to the pysche of the enraged aggressor
You are assuming she is simply trying to choke her rather than break her neck. Undead or not, severing her head from her spine by crushing her neck would incapacitate Sylvanas.
Artisitic license. Don’t take the action literally.
Lets be real, tyrande was all hyped up in moon juice and probably wasn’t really choking her, and instead crushing her throat, and spine in.
That’s a very easy, and realistic way to view it, seeing as tyrande was basically in full rageface freak out mode.
You know, I’ve been closely following each post on this thread and yours has been the most convincing so far.
Deathgrips chainsaw off Sunzsu and chases after her.
Don’t kink shame her

Idk why people keep saying this.
Forsaken still need to breath. Maybe less than other races, given their racial ability for underwater breathing, but they still need to breath.
If anything, sylvanas’ body is fresher then most undead so perhaps her lungs work better.
Stop reaching to hate on blizz for anything.
Plague doctors on the Forsaken wear gas masks.
Obviously some form of inhalation going on that could impact the remaining biology of their animated corpse.
If undead don’t need to breathe then the only logical way to kill an undead would be to completely vaporize them. Because if they don’t breathe then that dictates that they don’t need any vital organs therefore the only way to kill an undead is to beat it into mush. Which that obviously isn’t the case.
“Undead don’t need to breathe”
Actually, they very clearly do if you have every played one.
Forsaken and Death Knights have breathing animations, and still need to resurface for air when underwater.
