WoW Needs A Playable Insect Race

Mortis-arathor · February 4, 2021, 4:46pm

So people can come here and say “I found a huge bug in the game!”

And then point at their friends

Malgorok-zuljin · February 4, 2021, 4:50pm

I agree, not necessarily for the same reason but yea I wanna play a bug

Pitagriffin-thrall · February 4, 2021, 4:53pm

Playable worm or caterpillar would be interesting. All transmogs would just look like different colored socks.

I am envisioning a centipede with the big bad pauldrons on each set of shoulders.

I like it.

Liberated Nerubians!

Mortis-arathor · February 4, 2021, 5:02pm

Nerubians are spiders.

Spiders are arachnids, not insects.

Spookyy-korialstrasz · February 4, 2021, 5:04pm

i may or may not have misread insect for a very similar word instead spelled with a C and S

Urd-wyrmrest-accord · February 4, 2021, 5:04pm

I dunno, this idea really bugs me.

Sneaks away

Mortis-arathor · February 4, 2021, 5:06pm

Add that too.

And by that I mean Centaurs.

Pandaren should have their own faction with a bunch of races from pandaria like mantid and mogu.

at this point, factions and wars between them are pretty pointless via story so i don’t see the harm in adding a third faction

Pure blooded sith warlock has a lot of appeal to me…hic!

Anjyu-spirestone · February 4, 2021, 5:07pm

It does, they’re called humans.

Lizelle-moon-guard · February 4, 2021, 5:09pm

I’ve been pushing for playable mantid since the end of MoP!

Brunden-feathermoon · February 4, 2021, 5:09pm

Wookie Druid…

Tank - One arm removal form while using it as a shield against the target and smacking said target with their own ripped off arm.

DPS - Both arms removed and used to beat target. (Dual wielding)

Ranged DPS - Bowcast both arms off then run up and beat the target with said arms.

Healer - Duct tape both arms back on with paper clips and chewing gum.

…hic!

Cockroaches.

Two things will be left walking on the planet in the end, chickens and cockroaches

So maybe some…cockroach people… /shudder

I’m so sorry if my lack of knowledge in entomology bugs you, Mortis.

Obfuscatia-bleeding-hollow · February 4, 2021, 5:18pm

that’s one thicc cockroach babe

Phlynch-sentinels · February 4, 2021, 5:25pm

I have some concerns.

Alchemical-sisters-of-elune · February 4, 2021, 5:38pm

I would take an insect race in a heartbeat. Mantises that aren’t the mantid we already have (something just off about those) would be my first choice, something more resembling Thri-Kreen from D&D.

Or you could go the bonkers route and introduce a playable insect like humanoid dragonflies that no one sees coming.

Also, Makrura rule. I have a, shall we say, a soft spot for exoskeletons. Haha!

Mortis-arathor · February 4, 2021, 5:44pm

I’ve never been so scared in my life lol
