garrosh why maybe he looks not like an orc

[Schmoopsy]

We all understand that he is brown because he's Mag'har. That's not why he looks stupid.

The reason he looks stupid is because he has a tiny head, his chin tattoo looks like he just needs to bathe, he has no wrists, he has beady bird eyes, and he's slackjawed.

Except he is the size all orcs should be, they are way too small in game. Maybe not so big in the forearms and such but height wise and overall bulkiness is about right.

Says who? We've only seen them in Warcraft 1, 2, 3 and WoW. You couldn't tell much from the RTS models, and the WoW model is the only detailed Orc model. Their description is 6-7 foot tall for the males, and about 250-300 pounds. That's roughly only about a foot taller and 50 pounds larger than your average Human male. If all orcs were the size of Garrosh than the average orc would be larger and bulkier than a tauren.

Garrosh looks totally ridiculous in game. I don't get why he looks so different but it makes me want someone to off him more :P /glares @ Vol'jin.

He's on a loading screen?

When catacylsm launches he will be on the loading screen for the Eastern Kingdoms. It's in the Beta right now.

His shoulder pads match that of other pure orcs in outlands.

Here's a few things to note, since ppl seem to think it's a clan thing that dictates their skin pigmant, which in a sense it is but ultimately it's not. The reason the Mag'har and the Frostwolf clans aren't green or red is because they weren't tainted by the blood haze by drinking the blood of mannoroth.

Grom was fully tainted, and was considered a fel orc, however was somehow able to overcome the MC effects and kill Mannoroth.
Few things to note: Thrall was from the Frostwolf Clan (if I remember correctly) and was not tainted by fel energies, yet his skin pigmant is green. why is that blizz?

Garrosh is the son of Grom, maybe he is effected by demonic powers through his father's genes, who knows.
Or maybe he felt like he should be a body builder seen as he would be the new warchief. He's not very smart, it would fit the stereotype of all brawn no brain.

There, now that your post has been fixed so its readable..

All orcs born of the original Horde that was sent to Azeroth - post Mannonroth blood - are green. The over-exposure to the fel magicks being slung by orc warlocks(and not the blood of a demon) changed their DNA. Garrosh was born before Grommash drank of the blood, and as thus is 'pure unchanged orc'. He is older then thrall by a good 10 years. Thrall's parents were both 'fel orcs', their tone having changed to the green we see today. Because of this, when he was conceived - after the blood haze, and birthed - on azeroth's side of the portal, it was by green parents. This is why he's green.

Garrosh is brown because Grom was brown when he did the horizontal mombo with Garrosh's mother. Thrall is green because Durotan and wife were ALREADY green (tainted by FEL ENERGIES, not demon blood.) when they hit the sack. This is why only Mug'har children are brown, where azerothian orc children are still being born green.

Thusly, if Thrall and his new lady friend have babies, they'll be shades of brown, because of the strength of brown-orc dna.

*nod*

That being said, garrosh is probably on the azerothian equivalent of 'roids. Sylvanas or Lor'thramar probably hooked him up, which is why they're still members of the horde.

The Orc ending cinematic from War3:

Grom and Garrosh look nothing alike. Also notice both Grom and Thrall stand upright.
The simple truth is that orcs, all orcs, Mag'har included, do not resemble how the orcs were portrayed in all the previous games, cinematics, and artwork.

This is Samwise's concept art for the orc blademaster. Only thing in common with WOW ingame orcs is the tusks.


Even the Orc in the WOW vanilla intro video stands upright.
As people already mentioned, Garrosh is on the Kalimdor loading screen for Cata, and guess what? He looks less like the horrible ingame model they currently have, and more like a normal mag'har orc who either works out too much or might be on whatever passes for roids in Azeroth.
