This recent post byWorld of Warcraftshowed off more details about their draconic Dracthyr form. Like the werewolf-like Worgen, Dracthyr take their draconic forms during combat, so players will be taking this form most often. The new Dracthyr images showed off over a dozen different horn shapes, scale and marking patterns, spines, and colors for players to choose from. Players will be able to design their Dracthyr to look like any of thefive major dragonflights inWorld of Warcraftor any of the other dragons, including the Chromatic, Twilight, and Infinite dragons.
Perhaps most importantly,World of Warcraft also showed off four different body types the Dracthyr could take for their main form. Each of the body types maintains the androgynous features of their draconic form while allowing them to customize the amount of bulk and muscle they have. It also showcased a number of armor sets and outfits Dracthyr would be able to wear.
World of Warcraftplayers were excited to see the range of customizations available to the new Dracthyr race. One of the biggest concerns about the Dracthyr was how thin they were, and the breadth of their wearable equipment options. Though players still don’t know exactly how gear transmogs will work on the Dracthyr forms, the armor setsWorld of Warcraftshowed looked great. The ability to have more muscular Dracthyr assuaged the fears of some players, and also gave hope that similaroptions would be added to otherWorld of Warcraftraces in the future.
However, some players still aren’t sold on the Dracthyr. Though the biggest Dracthyr body type is noticeably larger than the smallest, many still wish they could make their Dracthyr even bigger. Many players also still hold concerns about the Dracthyr’s Visage forms–while customizable, they still use human and elf frames, while many wish they could make their Visage like trolls, tauren, or otherWorld of Warcraftraces. Players will have to see what options are available for these forms whenAlpha testing begins forDragonflightin the near future.
