i also think going against the grain with elves would be refreshing for once…we have several different variations of the standard fantasy-humanoid elves…something a little more sinister would be real neat.
i feel like they could have gone that route with several demon/elf hybrid looking things like Sire Denathrius’s species too but…i’ll leave those experiments to Mortis and his lab team
What I would do is I would go crazy on Elves to make them really different from each other while maintaining the option for all of them to be a “standard fantasy elf”.
With Blood Elves I would add Kael’thas spheres, Felblood skins, Wretched skins, Holy skins, etc.
With Nightborne I would add all sorts of magic circles floating around their backs, shoulders and hands, and those glowing hands that the NPCs have.
Night Elves are pretty good already, with all the scars and leaves.
