I think game size tauren are okay

Ogre biology is weird.

not enough eating veggies.

Lorewise Tauren are as big as the Standard-sized Ogres. So roughly 1.5 larger than they are now.
But then they wouldn't be able to go through doors and such.

Taurens are 8-12 feet tall and Ogres are like 7-9 feet tall.

At first I noticed the size discrepancy coming from WC3 to WoW. Over time I started to like the new scale, it makes taurens look capable of speed and some level of agility.

[TheSilverKnight]

It is not only Taurens. Night elves and trolls were both supposed to be between 8-9 ft. Tall with some rare cases cose to 10-11 ft. I know the lore on nelfs has been changed to make them closer to 7' and I think the trolls that we play (darkspear) are a smaller breed compared to other trolls.

On that note I like the tauren at this size it makes it believable that they wouldn't just dominate the other races. It also makes sense that they could lose most of their land and population to the centaurs at the smaller size.

Ogres should be taller

I prefer them shrunked down into hamburger-size.

How DARE you!? My sweet sweet tauren. </3

centaurs are described to be bigger than tauren

Tauren are the heavy artillery of the Horde.In game they cant be shown that way because all races needs to be balanced.But in the lore they are so strong that it takes multiple members of the smaller race to bring one down.

And then a dwarf mountain king one-shots a storm giant with a stormbolt, an orc throws his axe in a tantrum and one-shots a 20' treant, single-handedly breaking the siege on Splintertree, and goblins and gnomes regularly blow up and disintegrate things more than four times their size. And as TheSilverKnight said, the tauren were getting dunked on by centaurs before Green Moses guided his people across the sea and saved 'em. As the human RPers say to us night elf RPers on a regular basis, size isn't everything.

just get you NE ass off and kick any human ass

I've only seen them in the game...they only exist in/because of the game...I don't think I understand.

See the large thing holding a gigantic wooden pole? See the size of the humans next to it? Yeah...

Tauren are the heavy artillery of the Horde.

They were literally that in WC3. When you played with the Orcs and reached the last tech-branch, putting together a bunch of Tauren with the Pulverize skill could wreck tens of footmen, grunts, ghouls and archers.

[Pull My Finger]

I read "gnome-sized tauren." Immediately thought it was a wonderful idea. Totally cute. I'd like to have one, or three.

[Therougetitan]

Loreology said Tauren were 10feet but scaled down for game size. His twitter account got shutdown so it got lost but you can see discussions on it.

Trolls can get pretty big too. I vaguely recall reading years ago that the horde races (troll, orc, and tauren) were all smaller in game for gameplay purposes. Makes sense, but the immersion would be a lot of fun imo.

Also, Orgrimmar doors are already too small.

[Zulkhan]

They should dramatically grow in size when they go berserk. Of course this doesn't happen in-game since WoW does not have the capability to handle a character transforming in such way.

Well, just being in a certain clan is the difference between being 7 ft tall and blue, or 25 ft tall, red, two-headed and having a horn.

So, it can be implied through permutations that there can be 100s of different subspecies of the Ogre species, with different races based on geographic and genetic background. Impressive considering they have no known females among their ranks. Given the massive amount of variety, Ogres cannot possibly be asexual either.

[Melsiren]

But... I need Tauren to be bigger so people don't think my penis is small.

Is this sarcasm? There's a ton of abilities that make your character bigger.

[Nynax]

They don't look much bigger than the orcs in that pic, and the orcs look more muscular but not that much bigger than the elves (I think the only actual human in that pic is the guy on the horse).

Great Game though. I miss Blizz's old RTS storytelling :/

Dude, I transform the size and shape of my character in WoW almost buy the hour, idk what you're talking about.

Its a human kid (about 8 - 10 years old?) holding a Yuangol baby up to his/her father/mother.


I mean look at that. That Bull's face is BIGGER than a Human kids chest!

Source? That definitely looks like some kind of ape as opposed to a yuangol. The feet aren't even hooves.
