Vulpera were the result of Old God experimentation in Uldir. Upon the creation of the first Vulpera, Aiuekthedrr’zhoh, the Titans quickly shut down the Uldir Facility. Sargeras would then go on to be driven mad by the thought of these vile specimens that he went around the galaxy, destroying every single planet in an attempt to never let such terrible abominations plague another planet. Death was better than Vulpera. Little did Sargeras know, there was a coup. While Sargeras was going after the planet “Furtopia,” he was stopped by his closest friend, Aggramar. Aggramar, after all this time, had never revealed his true identity. Aggramar was a furry. And so the two fought. The battle lasted for 1,000 years, but in the end Sargeras overpowered Aggramar and with a final blow, cleaved both Furtopia and Aggramar in half.
Sargeras knew what he had done. Now Sargeras would face the full furry of the Titans. He had to prepare. Now Sargeras had only one plan. He needed to build up an army of all those who would oppose the furries. He went from planet to planet, recruiting millions and trillions of soldiers into his newly formed Burning Legion.
Years later, at the height of the war between Azeroth and the Burning Legion’s Argus, Sargeras made his move. He surrounded Azeroth with a giant black cloud. Blinding everyone and invoking fear in the hearts of all, but no. The Furry Titans were back. They sought to bring Sargeras home! In a final act, Sargeras attempted to destroy the Vulpera’s home in Vol’dun, but… there was just one problem. Azeroth had many deserts! Which one was Vol’dun? There was no time to think, and so with Sargeras’ remaining strength, he summoned Gorribal (translating roughly to “Furry Slayer”) and thrust it into the heart of one of Azeroth’s deserts.
In the end though, Sargeras failed. He had destroyed the wrong desert. Instead of wiping out the furrries, he only paved the way for Azeroth’s champions to then go ahead and recruit them as soldiers. Now Sargeras sits in fear at the Seat of the Pantheon. He knows the true threat that is to come, but nobody will believe him.
Sargeras’ struggle is the one true tragedy of Warcraft.
I am not the creation of an Old God. I do not resemble a pig in any shape or form. Tusks do not make me a pig. They make me closer to our true savior, Sargeras.
Wrong, modern descriptions of Orcs started with J.R.R. Tolkien. It was Ed Greenwood and his Forgotten Realm series that catapulted Orcs into mainstream culture, where they were very specifically designed to look like pig-men. Even WoW Orcs follow the trend; tusks, upturned nose, voracious appetite.
