If the Undead don’t have a tinge of moldy essence tied to the spell effects I don’t want it.
Please don’t be lazy with this.

Sounds like a Gylph opportunity.

If only it wasn’t an abandoned system. It has been stated that with the Covenant ability re-skins that we will be able to use the original effects though. Perhaps a revival.
Ion: what is a glyph?
Hmm… would have to invent a new concept but I assume the form has to be the result of abusing druidic magic.

Keep in mind, undead druids are going to unlock the other druid forms from the artifact appearances of the past, and other new forms etc.
So you could have an undead druid transform into:
- a flourishing, nourishing treant full of life.
- a spirit-touched saber-tooth cat / panther
- a revitalising runebear
- or a moonkin flowing with arcane and harmonic nature magics.
and more.
Undead won’t exactly be ‘undead’ anymore.
… However, it could present a good opportunity for lore – via the Tauren finally finding a ‘cure’ (or breakthrough towards one) in a sense for the forsaken: Through druidism; where they unravel a paradox where they can tap back into life through their transformative powers & natural magics, yet be back to undead form when returning to their humanoid state.

An astute conceptualization, friend.
Sounds pretty reasonable that Blizz would write some dialog rather than create flavorful effects and forms for Undead.
Would be much cooler for them to lean into the fungal aspect of nature though. There’s plenty of room for death within life… they are after all, part of the same process.
Fungal/Rotting forms and some minor tweaks to the existing Druid spell effects would be the “cool” way of doing things. Unfortunately I think your theory is closer to what we will see.

Been said multiple times, but they had a golden opportunity to expand druid to all the races with this latest major patch. 
Someday i will get to play as a zombie kitty.
It’d be pretty cool of them to do both too.
Like tapping into both cycles simultaneously, heck they could do a questline where they help bring back a loa or wild god back from the realm of death - having a foot in each realm & being able to bridge them.
Hamuul Runetotem all like: “Those who despise your kind for believing you defy nature, should not - As you are now one of its greatest allies!”

They could easily pull off a druid of rot and spores. HAIL FATHER NURGLE

The Everbloom (from WoD) mixes a little necromancy with its life magic to create plant zombies doesn’t it? (the Horde death knight bodyguard-follower has a rep questline investigating the plant life for Sylvanas if I remember correctly?)
If gnolls ever get into the emerald dream we could start seeing druids of the rot
In the unlikely event they got a unique Treant Form, it would have to look like one of the Brackenhide gnolls’ decayed treants:
And Tree of Life form would have to look like Treemouth:

undead druids would look asf id play one.
As long as their forms look decent and fitting to their Undead theme then I wouldn’t mind them as druids

Ardenweald and drust cover what undead druids should look like already tbh.
True and fine, give undead drust forms, and give a ally race the dino from zandi trolls. Idc I just want more druid races. I would be completely okay with bliz giving me the class now and the looks later considering how long it supposedly takes to make druid models. I just want more class/race combos.

100%. More class/race combos. Don’t know why there are restrictions anymore anyways.
