Developer Thoughts - Plunderstorm Game Mode and Feedback

I'm not a lore fanatic, I'm note even a lore n00b in that I know only a few hints of the Old Gods, the Titans, and some speculation here and there... but, for the life of me, I can't figure out why Garrosh Hellscream is orange. I watched a video a long time ago where Thrall and Gron (his father) were fighting against Mannaroth and he was green, how did he have an orange kid?
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Found the link to the video

That was Grom Hellscream (Garrosh's father) who fought Mannoroth. Garrosh is a Mag'har, which are uncorrupted orcs. The green skin comes from the demonic corruption, with which Garrosh was unaffected. The quests in Nagrand and Hellfire, to a lesser extent, explain this.

That was Grom, Garrosh's father, who was corrupted by the demons. Garrosh was silk and in Garadar, and is a Mag'har orc, who remained untainted by the demonic energies his father and the other orcs consumed that turned them green. Brown is the orc's original color. Don't ask me why he's more orange than brown. Originally Posted by Cthulhu Ftagn

I have no idea either... Maybe he sat in the sun too long?

WRONG! Those are the BEST discussions!

Thats Grom in the video. Garrosh is his son.
I reported lamb of log twice, once for having a slow car and once for trolling.

"Thrall and Garrosh were fighting against Mannaroth"
It was Thrall and Garrosh's dad... Grom Hellscream.
And the reason I personally think he is orange maybe he was conceived when Grom was still effected by the demons blood.

Did Thrall drink Mannoroth's blood ?
For some reason i thought that he was born in Azeroth and never drank it.English is not my first language, feel free to point out any mistake so i can keep learning.

The orc in the video of which you're referring is actually Grom Hellscream, Garrosh's father. He was leader of the Warsong Clan and, through an excellent story, was the one to fell Mannaroth. Garrosh, the whole time, remained on Draenor, not corrupted with the demonic blood as his father was. Thus, he is an all natural orc, which come in varying hues. Hope this answers your question. My question though, is, why can't he close his mouth? Did a disease pass from bear druids to poor Garrosh, perhaps one that forces you to lose muscle tone in your jaw or something?
Edit: And in the time it took me to type this up, its been answered for you. On a side note, Thrall was born of orc parents who were already corrupted. He was born with green skin, in other words.Last edited by Mythrilshotgun; 2010-11-21 at 07:39 PM.

/facepalm further proof as to why the Horde do not get a Caine memorial, it even say's it in the video description that that is Grom.
An he's not orange, get over it.WoW only has 10 million subscribers it must be dying! WoW sucks!
I'm sorry no, clearly you didn't see Chuck Norris allowed 10 million to survive his Purge.

That's a good question, as Durotan refused to drink the blood of Mannoroth and Thrall was born in Azeroth. Originally Posted by Nerdpride

Thrall was found by humans when he was a baby.
Did the Orcs force the babies to drink demonic blood ? If not, he should be brown too. I don't think Durotan would force his own son to drink demonic blood as a baby.
Also, Drek'thar served with Durotan and even managed to be one of the first Shamans after the demonic taint. Thrall should NOT be green.English is not my first language, feel free to point out any mistake so i can keep learning.

If Durotan drinking the blood turned Thrall green, and Grom was green, so therefore presumably drank the blood, why isn't Garrosh green? Or did Grom drink after Garrosh was born? Originally Posted by Vizardlorde
