Tuskarr's Glasses

[username993720]

Why did they give them some Harry Potter looking glasses:


when we know Inuits used these as Sunglasses?


Vote for more historically-accurate Tuskarr

Those are for preventing snow blindness. Maybe the Tuskarr just has bad eyesight.

Basically this, as well, it was assets that could make them look different.

Tuskarr getting these would be really, really cool! I hope they're an accessory for them!

[Enter Name Here]

because they can

[Ringthane]

Would we be able to see those, though? As high a resolution as a lot of people play, maybe round glasses are easier to see and model than strips?

I'm still pissed off that tuskarr are never gonna become a playable race.

[Skytotem]

Maybe that Tuskarr just needs reading glasses at that particular moment not sunglasses

Who says they won’t?

One of their greetings is "Who is this that speaks?" so maybe!

But the Tuskar isn't wearing sunglasses. Plus, they aren't humans, they're Tuskarr - a species that has evolved to live in ice-based environments. Why do you think that their eyes haven't evolved to not need sunglasses, the same way their bodies have evolved to not need thick jackets?

It's okay, though, we got fox people and moose people and Draenei++!

Because Tuskar are not (north) Asians? They have round Eyes...

Inuit are basically the Native Americans of the arctic. They aren't Asians.

Inuit are basically the Native Americans of the arctic. They aren't Asians.

And the Native Americans spawned in North-America? No. They emigrated from North Asia. That's why they look very similar to Mongolians or Russians of that Region, since they stemmed from there and the environment was similar.

That's not even slightly relevant because the people you are discussing are NOT Asian. The tuskarr are based on Inuit according to Blizzard, and I'm pretty sure if you start telling some Inuit people, or heck any indigenous peoples in North America, that they are Asian they will likely not be happy with you.

[Aucald]

Let's pivot away from discussing indigenous people of various stripes in the real world and return to the actual topic of this thread.

[Pendragon]

Historically accurate walrus humanoids. Yes.

Have you missed their whole fur-coat clothings?

Have you missed the clothing worn in the picture you posted? The Tuskar in question is wearing a vest that leaves his arms and entire front exposed.
