Had this pop up in my Youtube recommendations. As it turns out, some snakes and lizards have the ability to glide in the air:

Iā€™ve been having a lot of fun with my reptile research. :snake: :crocodile:

While true there is at least one species of Lizard that can glide!

Theyā€™re called Draco Lizards. Which make sense when you see them cause they have flaps of skin membrane that could almost resemble wings.

And while I am here. Sethrak AR please!

:snake: :pray:

Let there be snakes.

And Mokā€™nathal/broken. Iā€™m a bit disappointed I forgot those. They make a sort of thematic pair too. So, Stonemaul/Queldorei, Revantusk/Wildhammer, Taunka/Frostborn, Hozen/Jinyu, and Mokā€™nathal/Broken. Thereā€™s five races for each faction which minus one pair (sort of) are iconic to varying extants, and all five make some sort of thematic pair. Plus, they all already make perfect sense for each faction. Itā€™s just modeling reasons thatā€™d get in the way of them being playable really.

I really wish theyā€™d have brought them in too. All of the pairs mentioned minus one are Azerothian races. With the war being appearantly massive, and azerite popping up all over the world, it would have been perfect to visit the respective races homes and see the war where they live. Itā€™d effect some places more than others though, like the Hinterlands for Wildhammer/Revantusk (and possibly Quelā€™dorei) would be a lot more heavily effected than Dustwallow Marsh/Feralas for the Stonemaul.

Plus, itā€™d make the war feel a lot more like a war than a skirmish-fest in Zandalar/Kul Tiras. If they had expanded the war beyond those two continents + warfronts it could have been so so so much better.

Plus, even though itā€™s not Azeroth and no azerite, seeing some fighting back in Outland couldā€™ve been cool.

And we couldā€™ve gotten MU Magā€™har instead, and still used the WoD skin tones, just say them not being there was an oversight/lore expanded later on.

Though I do love having the Iron Horde in the Horde, it is cool.

Some of that feels repetitive now that Iā€™m rereading, sorry about that. Maybe Iā€™m thinking about it too much.

Devs would feel that some types of racials would be very powerful.
Especially those that give some kind of extra movement.
Just note that darkflight provides a slight speed boost with short duration.
Would many people see a race that had a glide included as racial, something overpowered?

I always imagined that worgen could have a super jump.
I imagine that the devs would be very modest in creating a racial movement for the sethraks.

Maybe they would create something that would increase your dodge chance by 1%?

Zandalari have a glide. Just like a Goblin Glider. So its not out of the question. Hmm. Not sure its for Sethrak, since we donā€™t see any with this ability. :stuck_out_tongue:

RIGHT!? Like all throughout the starting zone, theyā€™re not charging you super fast. THEY"RE LEAPING AT YOU.

Darkflight should so have been Dark Leap. Act like a Heroic Leap.

Ahh! So the only impediment would be the imagination of the devs at the moment of creation.

It is certain that devs would want to use some kind of variation, so that a new race would receive some other flavor type.
Instead of something that added movement, some kind of usefulness or defensive action.
I can imagine sethrak receiving something that mitigates the damage or makes them recover from an attack, more quickly.
Vulpes take less damage during the first attack.
Something similar for Sethrak? Or some kind of vanish based on a mini sandstorm?

Exactly. But then, this could be seen as something unbalanced, giving the worgen warrior an absurd move, for a class that uses plate.
Many classes that use worgen could have a strong drive, even with a 2-minute CD.

Lightning Scales. Returns the damage from the first attack back at the attacker?

That could work and be kinda in line with what we seeā€¦

Plus their poison spit active racial and theyā€™d have a fairly solid combat set.

Increase the cool down and let it ride.

Imagine this would bring guilds back to the Alliance actually if your tank has a double jump some raids would be much easier.

Sethrak need to happen. Please. :heart::snake:

Iā€™m back to having dreams about them! :sob:

Asking my friends to make suggestions for themā€¦ but in the wrong game. Woke up and remembered Sethrak are in WoW. :joy:

I had a dream about mine a few nights back. She stared at me and then told me I needed to feed my toddler.

Woke up in a panic. To my son batting my face to get me up. Lol

Wonderful! Letā€™s spread Sethrak to all games!

Sethrak for the Alliance! (but playable is fine blizz seriously please) :snake:

It was Guild Wars 2, lmao.

Also, on a somewhat unrelated note. I was just looking at the Worgen customization options for Shadowlands. Saw that the elliptical pupils/slitted pupils is an option for them. So our guess on that seemed correct.

ALTHOUGH, those options are now in game on a player quality level and most of them are eye colors we see in Sethrak npcs, sooooā€¦

Just another step done for playable Sethrak!

The devs certainly, have perfected customization.
We just need to see what they did to worgen and tauren.

And the refinement of details and polishing of the breeds we will see in Shadowland certainly indicate that the work used in shadowland content can be applied to the creation and deployment of a breed with Sethrak.

Resources exist. We just need to wait for blizzardā€™s willingness to invest in a race with good appeal to players.

I have hope.

Playable Sethrak please, Blizzard! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And you can give them to the horde with my blessing!
It was already sad to see saberons :lion: and arakkoas :bird: being abandoned in Draenor. :broken_heart:
May sethraks at least be in the horde, as a playable race.
