Armello's rabbit and mouse like races are pretty clean. Elken (elk-like) and Guinicean (guinea-pig-like) from Crowfall are pretty neat. Kenku (crow-like), Leonin (lion-like), Bugbear, Tabaxi (cat-like), and Loxodon (elephant-like) from DnD are a little neat. Oni (and other Eastern Yokai) are also pretty cool.

Dragonborn. Although, I would prefer a winged iteration...
Darkspawn from the Dragon Age games
Night Elf broodmothers anyone? lol

Demons, not demon elves, not "not actually demons". real demons like the Dreadlords or one's we haven't encountered yet.
Iksar and Dark Elves EverQuest.
Qunari from Dragon Age.
Miqo’te from FFXIV, and before you say anything, I’d like them tweaked a bit to be more than just anime cat girls.
In that same vein, Khajit and Argonians from Elder Scrolls.
There’s obviously a trend here. I mostly want more evil races added, but reptilian and feline ones in particular. If they could pull it off right and not ricochet it into furry anime porn land.

WoW has never done a robot race before. No, the playable Mechagnomes don't count; they're cyborgs not robots (the actual Ulduar Mechagnomes count though).
For the true robot RPG experience: rather than getting exp from killing mobs and leveling up and unlocking new talents, you instead get more powerful by buying and swapping out different parts on your robot body. Also, you don't naturally regenerate health over time while out of combat: you have to get repaired by going to a repair shop, or using a repair kit.
I'd take a D&D Kobold happily.
But just saying kobold feels like it'd set up to one of those "We have ____ at home" memes and I'd end up with a nearsighted rat-person.
Put the Skaven in WoW. Any one of the 4 great clans (and Mors) could take down both the alliance and horde.
Windians from Breath of Fire...hell most of the Breath of Fire races
Froglocs from Everquest
Ronso Final Fantasy X
Tarkhatans from Mortal Kombat
Warforged, basically the fantasy equivalent of robots. Runic golem characters would be pretty badass, are typical of fantasy, and would fit Warcraft pretty well considering all the Titan lore available in the game.
Another would probably be Thrikreen (4-armed Insect people) and Khajit (cat people). Mantid and Saberon kind of fill in for this, but they're treated too much as niche threats rather than actual races rooted in the world. Wish they did more with the Saberons that crossed over into Azeroth.

Assuming another member of that clan don't disrupt the whole event just to make sure they become the new head of the clan, but we all know that wouldn't happen, Skavens are trustworthy and loving creatures, that also have a lot of safety procedures so their artifacts don't go KABOOOM from any ill placed piece of iron.
Gibberlings from Allods. Always liked how there were three of them operating as a single unit, something I haven't seen in any other MMO.

Not sure if it qualifies as a race, but i've always had an appreciation for the corrupted Twili from Zelda Twilight Princess.
Other than that i could go for some frog-people, small and nimble, think Chrono Trigger.
Additionally some creatures wearing masks or otherwise obscuring their identity, though that's sorta covered by the brokers and etherals.

This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
FFXIV Lalafell, so that the wow community learns to be thankful that we got gnomes
I'd probably just trade some of the races for depictions that look less stupid, so something like linage 2 orcs, or elves with less weird ears than the wow ones (guess it could be worse, could be the TES or FF ones .. yikes). I also think draenei are a rather hideous tiefling substitude if that is what they were going for. Oh, while I'm at it, diablo humans (or any really) instead of wow humans. I'd also trade in vulpera for scaven, just to troll the furries. Warforged > diaper gnomes, as well. Some kind of draconoid race would be welcome too, though it would just be another race that doesn't have proper boot/glove/helm models, so I'm not sure I would actually want that.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
