The most obvious ones are Furbolgs as they’re heavily associated with the Night Elves and there’s a tribe allied with the Draenei on Azuremist already.
The Broken have been part of the Alliance since BC already, and the ones on Argus could come to join since Argus probably isn’t the best place to live.
And maybe Vrykul since they’re related to humans. Maybe after the Stormheim story some of the Vrykul start thinking we aren’t so weak since we keep beating them and their major figures like Odyn, Skovald, and Helya. Maybe Odyn throws in a good word since Genn stopped Sylvanas in Stormheim.
I honestly thought that the Vrykul and the Farondis Ghost Elves in Azsuna were going to be Allied races at some point to even out the Broken Isles between Alliance and Horde. I thought the Vrykul would do what I mentioned, and that the Farondis Ghost Elves would be cool and they’d want to rejoin the world alongside their Night Elf kin.
Man can you imagine playable worgen? That’d be so sick. Kinda thought that’s where they were going with that Gilneas subplot but ten years of radio silence makes me think it was just for Genn.
The worgen could have been savage, but are generally played off as tea-sipping Victorian gentlemen and ladies of highest social standing. It’s a very convenient and controlled “curse”. Super powers on demand! What a nightmare Ol’ Bean.
Pip Pip, chaps! I’m off to wolf about the block. I’ll be back in a jiff for a scone.
You’d think a species made entirely of rock monsters who are ludicriously strong, enjoy an adrenaline rush above all else, commit a fair amount of practical science, are not infrequently drunk, and just do. not. ever. stop. could qualify. Brann’s a sweetie by dwarf standards, and look what he gets up to.
But dwarves spend most of their time down in the lore hole, coming out briefly to provide comic relief or exposition on occasion.
They can be as savage as they want. In the end, it doesn’t even matter. They all get white-washed, their independence neutered. At the feet of the human God-king, they learn their place as a Stormwind vassal.
I’ll never understand people who think they’d be Alliance. The Horde/Zandalari helped them regain their empire. They share reverence for a particular Loa. They used to live peacefully with the Zandalari.
To be completely fair here: this is a meta issue. In universe, this isn’t what actually happens. But the devs just only care to write about Anduin lmao. Alliance races aren’t homogenized for In universe reasons, it’s all external OOC crap that the devs most likely aren’t even self aware enough to realize that they’re doing it.
I could make a case for many different ones.
Harpies have lived along side the Night Elves for eons. With Aviana back, they might become far more agreeable than they have been.
Centaurs have been at war with the Tauren, and by extension the horde, since landfall. They could easily join the Alliance as a way to even the odds or ensure their survival.
Sethrakk have no love for the Zandalari or the Vulpera. Naturally they were the obvious choice to join the alliance before the diaper gnomes came about.
And lastly the common Gnoll. It has lived in the eastern kingdom for eons. They have never gotten along with the human invaders, but with more human lands now devoid of humans, they could be a bit more on friendly terms to atleast consider working together.
