I was thinking more about the whole strength belief and utilizing all of their kills idea, and have assembled a few random thoughts and ideas I had.
Meat, more than just a delicious meal!
As seen from a few Saurok tribes, meat is something that Saurok really love. It not only tastes great, but is rewarding and meaningful when you have successfully killed another. Strength in such a manner is present in different types of Lizard Men across media, and it has given me some ideas for micro events like a Great Hunt of sorts done for a Wild God they follow. As such, I still think meat would be an important factor to Saurok society.
Bones: A humerus way to armor yourself
Meat is fine and dandy, but what about the bones left over? Well, I mentioned things like tools before and even having bone chips as a form of currency, but what about armor? Think about it: A Saurok takes down a giant beast of some sort, one that was really resistant to physical attacks. Why not make armor out of that?
Bone armor is a potential idea for Saurok armor designs and could even work as heritage armor. Imagine a Saurok decked out in dragonbone armor. Cool, isnāt it? Not to mention that bonesmithing gives them a unique twist on armor making while giving them some character.
The only good Mogu is a dead Mogu!
This is something I thought about with the idea of Saurok utilizing all of their killsā¦what would they do with Mogu they kill?
Iām going to guess they would do things demeaning to the body, though still practical. Maybe as target practice, spell experiments, or even turning them into chamber pots. I can even imagine some putting skulls on spikes on their armor, something that would be very fitting for the Saurok leader.
Iām sure Mogu kills wouldnāt be wasted, but Iām also sure the Saurok hatred of Mogu would lead to some creative ideas.
Mogu: Dead and loving it!
Another thought that occurred to me is that Mogu practice necromancy. This begs the question of what theyāre capable of doing if, for example, Saurok are wearing things like bone armor and the like. Not too pleasant of a thought, is it? There are two ways around thing I can think of.
First is just a simple blessing of armor from a high priest/shaman, which could be capable of warding off Mogu necromancer spells. Since Saurok despise Mogu, I can imagine they would put in a lot of time and effort to be a total pain in their backside.
The other is that Saurok are capable of necromancy themselves, having gotten tomes and artifacts from their raids on the Mogu on Pandaria. If we go with the idea that the playable Saurok faction got some intelligence from artifacts from Mogu raids, it stands to reason that they could have come across some necromancy items and studied them.
Not only could it make things like bone armor more powerful, it could be used to ward off Mogu necromancer spells on them. Furthermore, it would be a bit fitting that Saurok make the Mogu their slaves in death of sorts.
Of course, this wouldnāt be the worst thing to see members of the Horde do. As I mentioned before, warlocks run around with dubious intent, death knights are running around with walking corpses who could be anyoneās family members, Forsaken have done a few immoral things, and Goblins in general likely have done several bad things in a clandestine nature. Not really that bad in comparison, in my opinion.
These are just some thoughts and ideas I had. Iām sure some things are debatable while others need more expanding. I mention them just to show examples of what you could do with playable Saurok, in which there are a number of cool things you can do with them.
More Saurok research to continue in the future!
