Tortollan are a mysterious race of wisdom turtles with ancient knowledge, they value stories and knowledge above all else, we also know they were in the war of the ancients and can fight.
They side with whoever offers them artifact, tales, knowledge. So they are the perfect race for pandarens to recruit to each faction. They also have been added to pandaren Holidays and celebrate the Wandererâs festival with is a joy to pandas and turtles.
Would love to play Tortollan. 
I wanted a Tortollan druid or shaman ever since their hearthstone reveal, I knew they would be added to the next xpac (BFA). We even get a baby one as a battlepet, and a rep for them. It feels like they really have a bigger tale to play in WoW, they were warriors in the war of the ancients, there are old and baby ones, where are all the ones with ages in between?
With the transmog options moving more and more towards invisible pieces it seems very likely that we could see races where some transmog slots are just unavailable. That and having the animations in place could allow for a huge amount of races to become playable.
I support this idea. Tortollan would make a fine AR.
No, absolutely NO. Tortollans are the most obnoxious, annoying, and unfunny race to be added to WoW. Not only that but they canât wear armor, so no they arenât happening. Not ever.
Seriously you hate everything in this game donât you?
No, Tortollans are the only thing I hate about this game. If tortollans became playable my guild name would be Tortollan Gank Squad.
Oi. Well Iâve seen you in enough threads now to know this wonât go anyplace. Thanks for your input. lol
They have males and females, kids models, different customization options, some have armor pieces. They can wield weapons. They could work. Although theyâd probably join the horde because; Blizz has said no more neutral races and they know the Zandalari very closely apparently.
from whay little I can see of your transmog Iâd say youâre already channeling your inner tortollan
I support Tortollan AR.
Happy to find out that Blizzard added them to the Pandarian Wandererâs Festival. It just makes sense.
Might be because Turtles with wisdom and ancient knowledge comes from the same Chinese mythology as anthropomorphic pandas who embody the people and the culture of them.
I see you, Shredder 
I can envision them getting a +15 to inscription as one racial.
Maybe some kind of scroll that lets them hearth twice as often?
Iâm guessing a 2% buff to defense.
You know that while cutting and perforating force are mitigated by a shell, fire resistance as cold resistance, as well as blunt force resistance and agility are seriously impaired by it.
That would make sense.
Iâd applaud blizzard if they implemented racial impairments alongside racial buffs on ALL races.
That was an idea long ago. They dropped it because they knew whinos would cry about it all the time.
I wouldnât mind seeing Tortollans for the horde and Tuskarr for the alliance as both races use the same model rig.
Thatâs honestly a shame.
Especially from a RP point of view.
