Ok ok ok… hear me out.
So a race of humanoids… but they’re permanently clowns(can’t wash the makeup off). If you’ve seen the hit 1988 movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space, you’ll have a better idea.
I know such a thing doesn’t exist in Warcraft currently, but there’s no reason Blizzard couldn’t introduce them with a new expansion. Everyone is expecting a handful of races to be made playable… Boom! Painted Jesters!
I had an idea that the race could use ALL body types; Human, Dwarf, Kul Tiran, etc. Cause clowns come in all different shapes and forms. Sorta has a funhouse mirror thing going on about it. Might make them more appealing to the masses this way too.
Character customization can reuse and utilize all the warpaints and panda eye designs to create various makeup. As take all the crazy hairstyles from each race and give them to the clowns.
I also thought that the Moonkin form could be a giant chicken suit. The racial mount could be Churro the Burro(Donkey). And the Heritage Armor could be a very stellar Bozo suit.

There already is a playable Clown race.
They’re called Sylvannas Loyalists.

Love that movie!!!
While I was reading your idea, I thought about the Darkmoon Faire. Haha not sure how the lore would fit with being a playable but I could see how some Old God corrupts a bunch of clowns at the Darkmoon Faire and they go on a rampage.
Would make for a fun Hollow’s End event!

I thought for sure you would’ve said “Humans” but I guess that would be putting down your Alliance masters.

No… that would be traumatic. I’ve had clown issues for 45 years . They had an agenda, even Shriner clowns in parades were up to no good.

I know this is a joke post but several of my characters are mogged to be darkmoon faire carnies and I would love to have clown make up in game like I had in gw2.
You might not like it but this is what peak performance looks like:

How about a clown car mount that only gnomes can get into and hold 50 at a time?

The NE looks ridiculous, but the Kul Tiran looks right at home.

This would be fun!
I’d love it if they added a mage tower event to DMF that awarded joke weapons like:
- Warlock: skull of the manari: now a fun floaty talking sugar skull for all specs!
- Rogue: rubber rapier! Now with occasional droopy/elastic physics.
- Monk: boxing gloves or a very large burning incense stick.
- Druid: “stuffed (stitched)” bearilla, moonkin and cat forms. Derpy and delightful stuffed animal forms that look like a carnival reward.
- Hunter: a pop gun that shoots fireworks!
- Paladin: Cashbringer: Solid gold with a dollar sign where the floating disc would be. Critical strikes cause a rain of coins to appear. The Silly Hand: Oversized squeaky mallet. Really squeaks when you cast Crusader Strike. Spoofguard: An inflatable shield. “Boing” sound when blocking. Contributed by Lumineus.
- Demon hunter: Glow-stick war glaives of several colors.
- Shaman: Enhancement: The Funhammer! An inflatable balloon hammer that occasionally pops and reforms. Restoration: Elemental:
- Mage. Fire: inflatable Felo’melorn with an offhand cotton candy stick.
- Warrior. Arms: a baseball bat. Protection: a yo-yo on a stick instead of a flange and a serving tray for a shield.
I’m trying to think of others and will edit them as I think of them.

Is that bad? I dont know who that is.
This is World of Warcraft, every race is a clown race.
On topic with the discussion though I really dig your idea man! It sounds really fun and I like the racials.
I think if any are druids their forms should be plush versions that pop oout stuffing instead of blood!
