    Just want to mention that the reason why we have "plenty" of elves running around is because it is the most beloved race by far. Nothing comes close to it, it is also the huge reason why the Horde rains supreme in terms of faction inbalance come TBC with the beautiful Blood Elves.

    Tauren are supposed to be a lot taller than they are showcased. Vrykul would be a no issue aswell.

    I'd be annoyed as hell though if we get borekul before Ogres.

    They will obviously be scaled down to not be taller than current Tauren models for playable characters.

    Except Kul Tirans are basically Tauren height.

    So if it's actually just a Small Vrykul it would be "Kul Tiran but skinnier/bigger human" which would be... laughable as a major race. There has to be some dragon element.

    Yep remember, enemy height is a lie to make them easier to target.

    Those are just random NPCs though, not bosses or important NPCs.

    This whole debacle already happened with Fat Kul Tirans vs Vrykul when people were debating on the fatties not getting in because they are "Vrykul but lame". The problem has been forever that Vrykul are Giants and if you make a Giant Not Giant it defeats the point.

    They could've made Kul Tirans skinnier to be true "Half Vrykul" but alas. Either they add Big Human 2 or Vrykul will be tied to something else like Dragons.

    As for the Tauren...

    Vrykul around stormheim had differnt heights. Heigh was never a good argument, other tribes excist or could be introduced. Or just same sizes as zandalar or tauren or slightly bigger would work just fine.

    I love Vrykul because of the theme, lore and their animations/model. Height is not a problem as people make it to be.

    We still need to pay Sylvanas back for her Teldrassil War Crimes. I dont think the Horde is gonna miss Silvermoon let alone the Blood Elves.

    Assuming that Elf is a Night Elf and not a Blood Elf, with Night Elves being 7ft tall (give or take), they would be larger than Tauren by about a foot. Which actually puts them near the same size as ogres

    Well, think of it this way; the writers screwed the Horde by making us (pc's) party to her actions for far too long, and then gave her a redemption arc and an open-ended fate. I don't think we, be the we Alliance or Horde, will get that in game retribution.
