Long range sound in oceans is fairly common. Who knows maybe they can detect electrical impulses through water with some apparatus of the ears too. (along with hearing)

We have a discord now. Welcoming supporters of the kelfin as an allied race to aid in our lobbying efforts.

Just needed to get some proper security setup.

The more I play around with this mog the more I love it. I definitely think gilgoblins should be an allied race, but if they are going to be customization may as well suggest ideas to help allow for the best result.
I see allot of love put into the original post. Good job on it. With race customizations I hope your goal is realized through it, if not through the allied race system.

I really do hope they use the AR system for them.
Goblins dressed up as Kelfin with no aquatic racials would just be so bad.
Wildhammer are bad enough without their proper racials.

I definitely think they should be an allied race for so many reasons. Of all races from BFA that helped us, gilgoblins are the ones that form a lore perspective definitely make sense to have join us. Plus I think just having them as customization is so much lost potential for a race like this. I want to make it known that this is a genuinely desired allied race in hopes blizzard may have them join somewhere down the line cause I firmly believe these guys should be an allied race. I am working on some more hairstyles and tentacle ideas I will be posting later on.
Gnomest/Evablossom.

I hope for your success. I wouldn’t mind seeing gilgoblins running around.
I think a work around if not through allied races is with a proper model toggler, but a proper AR should be the highest piority.
I agree, same thing for HE and sand/dark trolls. It feels weird having different cultures of WoW baked into some of the existing races.

To add to what fezzy said here. I actually do agree now. Snapdragon mount is most fitting, but maybe with kind of a sea caravan on it sort of like vulpera have that heyena mount with that overhanging thing. I will make something like that soon or later.

No aquatic race yet. Gilgoblins would be great to introduce for a new aquatic race. And yea. Its especially bad when someone of these customizations would be able to be certain classes that aren’t normally playable. Like imagine eredar without warlocks? Thats why an eredar customization wouldn’t work well for draenei.
I agree, I shudder at some people’s ideas of undead race baised customizations on races that can play paladins.

Yea. Now imagine gilgoblins that can drown. They have proven themselves capable of surviving on land for long periods of time too and there is bodies of water in nearly every playable zone. Definitely not far fetched to see them out and about.
At least without optional or alternative racials.
That would work. Wonder if they’d be able to remove the canopy or not?
Would they have a racial specific for that?
Plus they have an Alliance side counter in the Ankoan.
Ick no.
I don’t even get folk who think that any of the regular aquatic races can’t survive on land.

oh yeah big time, a wildhammah without his gryphon and hammah is no wildhammah!

Another reason why I think we should have them as their own race is because if they were to be their own race than they could get more custom options to go with it. So imagine if these were all custom options you could pick as a kelfin. A darker skin with anglers and even teeth like this. Granted some of these might be a stretch, but yuo get the idea.

Thank you. I wanted to do these for male too, but the male goblin model I was using has a number of errors that are too critical for me to ignore without switching to the HD one so I focused on the female one since frankly I think they look better anyway. Also. It would be super time consuming for me alone to do both genders.
Which is fine, at the very least we can get a look at your design ideas. If this race get’s implimented blizz can do the heavy lifting.

Another third alternative which in some ways would be an even better scenario was if they were introduce through some kind of aquatic themed hero class like this. You’ve both seen this already I think. This would be by far the least likely way they would even happen, but this would also mean they could have special abilities to really flesh out their theme kinda like demon hunters.

It’s an ok idea, though I dislike that it get’s uncomfortably close to what a bard would be how ever.
Fair enough. Its an idea obviously, but its open to lots of criticism. Another common thing I’ve seen said is that this is too close to either druid or shaman. Though it has no elemental abilities.
