Your Headcanon

Ok so canon Warcraft lore has fairies. We see them frequently, but we don’t know what they look like because they are too small. All we can see is that they have butterfly wings and they glow.

My headcanon is that Warcraft Fairies look like bio-luminescent Dryads with butterfly parts instead of deer parts.

And that’s kinda horrifying lol

No. Not recently.

We get to see Fairies or Faeries, whatever, on a few places. Notoriously, near WC3 fonts and on the Faerie Fire / Faerie Swarm abilities.

Faerie Fire Faeries are the easiest to look at. They have yellow butterfly wings but since their bodies are just a single line of pixels we can’t really tell what their bodies look like.

There are Kobolds who worship the Light via the light of their candles.

Faerie Fire. Druid Spell. That animation is WoW Fairies. There’s a Warcraft trading card that illustrates them too.

I know, but both in-game and in-card the fairies are so tiny that we can’t see what their bodies look like (all we see is a single pixel line) . All we can see are their wings.

All I can think about is that one episode of Supernatural where they blew one up in a microwave.

Irrelevant, I know, but it’s Sunday.

I pretend WoD never happened and that someone from the legion resurrected Gul’dan, and that the Mag’har are from Outland

Pandaren are secretly trying to stop the factions from fighting.

I wonder what fairies taste like. Better ask a druid since they once had a habit of setting them on fire. Maybe they were trying to cook them. :fairy::fire:

My headcanon has Fandral’s corruption-- aka, the Nightmare-- seeping out of him as he dies, where he realizes what he did, then apologizes and his spirit still walks the Emerald Dream.

My headcanon also says our playable KT are part Drust, no matter what Blizz says to the contrary.

And faeries are awesome.

Oh yeah, on-topic:

I like to think my undead DK went from alive->died fighting Scourge->Rezzed as DK (quite a bit later than most, hence the missing bits). I find that much more appealing than the official lore of alive->died to the Scourge/Plauge->Rezzed as Forsaken->died AGAIN fighting the Scourge->Rezzed as DK.

Also, my blood elf paladin is NOT on-board with the We-love-the-Naaru line thrown in near the end of TBC. She STOLE the Light, she STOLE her horse, and Lady Liandrin can go take a flying leap off Hellfire Peninsula for siding with the enemy/power source!

Agreed. That’s why whenever people on the forums say pandaren don’t get new lore, I reply, ‘that’s because Blizzard knows pandaren would actually accomplish lasting harmony among all races of Azeroth.’

They do? I’ve never heard of them. Not doubting you but idk. :man_shrugging:

Faerie Fire: Faeries surround the target, preventing stealth and invisibility. Deals (32.5% of Attack power) damage when cast from Bear Form.

Faerie Swarm: Swarms the target with Faeries, disarming the enemy, preventing the use of any weapons or shield and reducing movement speed by 30% for 8 sec.

They are tiny, they glow, they have butterfly wings and they surround people when Druids order them to. That’s all we know about them lol

Cairne never had a son, Baine is really Cairne and nobody noticed because nobody cares enough about them to.
