This sounds like the Saurok to me. When they first announced Allied Races and they said that the Battle for Azeroth would affect all the continents on the planet, so we would bring in allies and such from them all, I assumed from Pandaria, the horde would get Saurok and Yangol, and the Alliance would get Jin'yu and Grummels. Looks liek we will be getting VERY few allied races from our first indications.

I don't see it the same way. To me it's mammals riding mammals and reptiles riding reptiles.
Zandalari are now the right height! https://i.imgur.com/4Tgu3K0.jpg Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen! https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/...9447661?page=1
There was some speculation originally that the Alliance would be a drakonid race allied with Wrathion since he was originally in the emissary building. Meaning he was going to recruit some new race into the Alliance. Time will tell if that never happens.
now that you mention it I am kinda surprised we don't have a lizard/dragon/reptile race in wow. it's such an OLDSCHOOL staple of the high fantasy rpg.

I wouldn't be averse to them myself, but the Zandalari have taken everything cool about the Lizardmen (the Maya/Aztec aesthetic, ancient civilization vibe, gold everywhere, and of course dinos a gogo) for themselves, so what is left? Saurok are just kind of there, they don't have any interesting theme, and Sethrak are probably a no-go for a playable race due to their weird body shape.
