If they go this route, I really hope they use the classic “Err Ah EEE” sound effect from the 80s Transformer cartoon every time they change forms :3
I don’t recall seeing much angst about the AR druids? I think i saw more about Zandalari not being announced as paladins until it finally happened.
I’m not holding my breath for Vulpera & Junker Druids but it would be really interesting for both factions. Also probably drive more than a select group into playing the races.
The complaints weren’t about the druids themselves, but the Horde getting 2 Allied Races that could roll druids to the Alliance’s 1.

I recall there being talk about some Vulpera being around in Mechagon in the beta. Anyone seen any Vulpera there, or was that referring to the Mechagon dungeon?

Vulpera MUST become playable. So bliz can make a small fortune from RC’s. Furries are a very passionate community and while they get A LOT of hate they’re for the most part in my experience perfectly fine. Some outliers but every group has those. But certainly any/all furry will play a Vulpera and likely RC which is ez monies. And non furries will as well. I don’t consider myself a furry as while I like Furry races that’s as far as I go. Not part of that community. But I don’t get the hate either. Seems hating just to hate. Anyways yeah. Vulpera = Money.

I mean, we’re all playing cartoon characters in a video game. ![:woman_shrugging:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/woman_shrugging.png?v=6" ":woman_shrugging:")
Some of us, like me, are above twenty. I don’t know why people think they’re very high and mighty over furries when we’re playing a 15 year old fantasy game with bright flashy colors. Many people claim that video games, especially WoW, are for children.
To me, furries are just another community with some bad apples like the rest. I’m not one but I think the Vulpera are adorable and would like to play an adorable but fierce character because it’s just fun. I also think foxes are really cool animals due to the Russian Fox domestication experiment, in which behavioral genetics are explored. That’s what got me fascinated with foxes–and I’ve loved them ever since.
There’s nothing wrong with beast races. Tauren, Pandaren, worgen, whatever. People can enjoy things as long as they’re not hurting anyone. And that’s the thing–they’re not. I’ve met many kind people from their community. It’s not even a matter of understanding why someone is the way they are, it’s a matter of just letting them be and being nice if they’re not bringing harm to anyone. That’s very simply called being an adult.
Bring on the Vulpera.

The only animal race I am interested in is worgen, and they’re not technically animals. I already have every class covered that a worgen can be else I would have one. I want a worgen shaman in the worst way to try them out, but that’s not likely to happen. I’m really not interested in black lagoon race, or the naga either.

I love worgen but, I tend to main horde, and I think I like foxes just a little better than wolves. Plus, vulpera have tails and worgen don’t. Really want these foxos.

Tails are a major reason why Vulpera beat out Worgen.

The tail really makes a difference I’ll admit.

I am super stoked for new worgen models. So much so that I’m actually going to be okay if Vulpera aren’t in 8.2.5 as long as the worgen look good enough.
But I still want Vulpera more.

Welcome back to another ARTuesday! Today we’ll be celebrating Keeru!
How long have you been drawing?
I’ve been drawing since I was really little! I’ve always had a knack for artistic stuff, but I never really took any specific classes for it. It’s just a hobby I enjoy doing!
How long have you been playing World of Warcraft?
I joined up around the middle of Cataclysm. My cousin owned the game and when Worgen came out, he showed me them and I was interested in playing them! My first character ever was a Worgen hunter on his account, but when I got my own, I made a Worgen druid instead! I got him all the way up to max level, and to this day druid is still my preferred class. Lately though, I have not had an active subscription, as I’ve been busy with managing a gaming community for another game, as well as balancing a work schedule, along with a general disinterest in the current goings-on in WoW. Nothing personal though-- and once/if Vulpera are announced, I’ll come straight back!
What activities do you like to do in the game?
When I was actively subbed, I enjoyed raiding! I remember busting my butt to down Heroic G’huun back when Ul’dir was the most current content available… I had started raiding on my BM Hunter, but eventually I swapped over to my MW Monk because we were sometimes short on heals. I honestly loved the playstyle and the tricks I could pull with Transcendence! Truthfully, if I had a solid raiding team I’d likely return to the game faster.
Besides drawing and warcraft, what else do you like to do with your time?
I work as a retail manager, but when I’m not doing that, I love to play Beasts of Bermuda! It’s a Steam game about dinosaurs-- where you get to play as one and be a part of a whole server ecosystem! There’s a bunch of rad things you can do, and even though it’s an early access game, I love talking with the developers in their Discord server. They genuinely love their game and the folks who play it, which is extremely refreshing.
What about the Vulpera inspired you to draw?
The big ears, floofy tails, and their paws! Admittedly they aren’t much different to what I normally draw, but I really love the stories that the Vulpera AR community have come up with! They truly have inspired me with all of their own imaginations and creativity, and will continue to I’m sure!
What do you plan to name your Vulpera character, should they become playable?
Keeru! I debated back and forth about this, but I’m deadset on his name now! I knew I wanted something with a nice K sound, and it just stuck!
Thanks to Keeru for being showcased today! And if you’ve done some Vulpera fan art and would like to be featured in an upcoming ARTuesday, please give me a shout!

Isn’t the cap for these threads like 5,000 or something? Are we gonna run out of space? D:
I think the 5k cap was for the old forums. Even it is capped at 5k maybe a mod will be kind enough to allow it to have a larger cap like the High Elf Thread had, that one almost got to 20k.
There’s no cap, but the larger the thread, the riskier it becomes of being flag-bombed.
This thread is pretty chill, thought, and I doubt there’s too many vulpera-haters out there to try to lock it.

I’m pretty sure we’re reaching the point where we might be encouraged to start a new thread. I can’t edit the front page anymore and haven’t been able to since about 4.5k. We’ll see how far we can take this one, but if there’s a major announcement regarding vulpera I’ll likely have to create a new thread simply because the front page of this one would become outdated.
