''Despite the refrence to Chen's Barrel, there are no [[Pandaren|Pandarens]] in World of Warcraft as of yet, there are also no Sundering era [[Highborne]].''--Baggins
If you want to become a stronger warrior, you'll need to work on your weapons. You'll find stronger swords and larger shields out on your adventures, that I have no doubt about. However, as a warrior you also shouldn't forget your legs.

If you look at the height chart (p. 16 of the ''Burning Crusade'' game manual, you'll see that draenei are about as tall as tauren (and the males are nearly as bulky). They should probably also be in the "medium/large" category (or the category should be abolished, and the tauren put in one or the other). —[[User:QitelRemel|Qit el-Remel]] 15:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

::Actually for the Draenei, he is correct...In the WoW:TBC manual, page 16-17, it shows the Draenei taller than female Taurens, but shorter than the males.....Actually they are the same size as the NightElves give or take an inch. So if Draenei are moved, the Nightelves have to be moved as well.

  +
Point of note Tauren are where they are because the RPG has categorized individual tauren in two seperate categories. Most characters fall under medium, and a few rare individuals fall under large. Whereas most if not all NPC and player characters in the other races have only appeared under "medium humanoids" listing.

The bit about "running away when at low health" is certainly true for most Azeroth and Outland humanoids. But I haven't noticed it happening with any of the Northrend ones.

Types of Humanoid

That is your opinion about civilized, less civilized, rock crafted, and elfkind Opinions do not belong in Wiki encyclopedias. Neutral Point of Views must be kept at all times. --DarkTichondrias

I agree on civilized part. The "Elven decended"/"Titan Created"/"From Draenor"/"From Argus"/"Decendants of Cenarius" is better. Can we go back to the subctagories?--Scalp 14:05, 27 July 2006 (EDT)

Pandarans & Highborne

Despite the refrence to Chen's Barrel, there are no Pandarens in World of Warcraft as of yet, there are also no Sundering era Highborne.--Baggins

The Highborne exist as a historical group, and I think should be included. The Pandarans exist in Warcraft lore, and I think should be included.--Scalp 14:05, 27 July 2006 (EDT)
Highborne are kaldorei however, the same as the night elves, not a seperate race best I can tell. If this page starts to go beyond being a WoW page, I could see Pandaren being added.Baggins 17:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Northrend Humanoids?

Shouldn't Nerubians, Tuskkar, and Taunka be added? They are Humanoids after all, we don't need the expansion to confirm that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aroka (talk · contr).

I'm not entirely sure that Nerubians can really be classified as humanoid, but I agree with the others. -- Dark T Zeratul 00:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

They fit in all the categories of a humanoid though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aroka (talk · contr).

1. Are they classed as humanoid in the MMO?

2. Are they classed as humanoid in the RPG?

If not then they may not fit on the page.Baggins 05:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Size Categories

If you look at the height chart (p. 16 of the Burning Crusade game manual, you'll see that draenei are about as tall as tauren (and the males are nearly as bulky). They should probably also be in the "medium/large" category (or the category should be abolished, and the tauren put in one or the other). —Qit el-Remel 15:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Those categories are official RPG categories. So they will not be "abolished". As for Draenei we don't have more information about them.Baggins 05:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually for the Draenei, he is correct...In the WoW:TBC manual, page 16-17, it shows the Draenei taller than female Taurens, but shorter than the males.....Actually they are the same size as the NightElves give or take an inch. So if Draenei are moved, the Nightelves have to be moved as well.
