Dracthyr aren’t full Dragons though, so that doesn’t track.
They ARE, however, part Humanoid, so just as Worgen can be Human as a secondary form, that’s why Dracthyr can do it to.
You had the right idea, you just took the wrong path to get there.
But Dracthyr are Blizzard’s way of giving players playable dragons, admitted during the Dragonflight announcement. I know what you mean, but honestly it shouldn’t really need a reason beyond “these are playable dragons, so they get mortal disguises too since you can’t be ‘true’ dragons”.
Stop thinking about them as “playable Dragons” though.
That’s where you get into trouble.
They are Hybrids, not like what the Aspects are.
You don’t say…
“The dracthyr are an ancient race of humanoid dragonkin. They have the ability to wield the magic of all five primary dragonflights as evokers, and, like true dragons, shapeshift between a draconic form and a humanoid visage. The dracthyr were created in the ancient past by the black Dragon Aspect Neltharion, who combined the essence of dragons with the adaptability of the mortal races to create a race of ideal soldiers.”

Hmm…
I will continue to do so, just as I think of Worgen as werewolves, Tauren as minotaurs, and Vulpera as furry bait.

So the annoying people that think everything should be about humans and elves in the warcraft universe will pre-order to play their visage forms, Blizzard knows their stuff when it comes to make money.

Always got to do a lead-up before the punchline.
The real question is can they fus-ro-dah enemies off the flag in a BG. Cause, if Kul-Tirans have falcon punch, drakthyr gotta have a cool racial
To hide the hideous dragon form they have

Good, that is always the correct answer.

They have a Wing Buffet. You can still macro/add-on it to yell when casting for that extra flavor.

I’d swear that I saw a snippet from an interview about how you don’t “choose” your visage until after they’re reawakened or some shiz. Kinda like how Worgen don’t have access to their human form for a while.
So I’m assuming that they’re sealed away and then later encounter humans and blood elves.
Because their dragon form only transmogs like two items so of course they need a transmog form aka visage form

Maybe representatives for the Alliance and Horde before choosing a faction? The Reliquary are mainly Blood Elves, but the Alliance expedition (forgot the faction name) are mainly Dwarves.
hey… thats hurtful
I did not say they couldn’t.
I am asking why they do.
Please quote where I asked or even insinuated anything like that.
I’ll wait.
Worgen are a completely different kettle of fish.
Worgen are natural-born humans who were cursed whereas Dracthyr were artifically created from dragon and mortal.
No comparison.
Although I see you keep trying to 
.
Seems like a fair bet.
Might be that the Explorer’s League just has some human guards or something. Or perhaps the Kirin Tor are involved.

I have to admit - as somebody who loves the Dracthyr model and can’t wait to play one, I do not understand the visage form. I get that it’s probably meant to be a compromise with the crowd who want to be a literal dragon that shifts into a humanoid form, but it just feels so wholly unnecessary for them. I for one plan to never use visage form on my Dracthyr. MAYBE if they gave us visage form of other races like tauren.

The worse part is, their humanoid form is another Elf Race 
Yeah, I’m salty about it 
However, the idea of giving them a Humanoid form was the right decision.
