tauren dont consume their own milk! probably

i noticed that (highmountain) tauren sell cheese and milk and people like to joke that it's the milk they themselves produce, which seems unlikely!

so i did some research on milkable animals and found that while all mammals produce milk, you really want ruminants like cows, sheep, and deer

the plains of mulgore are lacking in cows and sheep but have plenty of gazelles. not the best option for milk probably but you gotta use what's around you. kodo beasts are lizards so they probably don't have milk but also i feel like kodo beasts do have milk

highmountain is filled to the brim with moose and the highmountain tauren have domesticated these beasts. there's also cows in the neighboring stormheim but the moose is where it's at

i don't know enough about northrend or the taunka to know where they'd get their milk, but northrend does have plenty of ruminants like elk, rams, and these weird shoveltusk. mammoths are non-ruminant but they seem milkable to me

yaungol just use yak.

i think that's all the tauren types and where they most likely get their milk from!! of course there's always the possibility they produce their own tauren milk, it just doesn't make sense to subject yourself to the cycle of childbirth and milking that frequently as a sapient species

thank you for reading my milk post !!!

Other Races in the Horde

So everyone knows the main races in the Horde, but I think whats not given enough credit, heck not even shown enough, is all the other races that exist. I mean sure there is plenty of content for say the Nightborne and other allied races, but theres so many possibilities that just get overlooked! I mean one of the good things in BFA, one of my absolute fav things? The Unshackled! I mean first off we have the Horde helping out a group of former slaves, helping them break free of there masters and if that isn’t just perfect for the Horde. Second the sheer variety of races found within! I mean the Unshackled have Gilgoblins, Makura and Sea Giants! And what I think should be talked about, is how these races fit into the horde! Like imagine a Makura walking around Echo islands, hearing about how the trolls defended their home from Naga! Gilgoblins trying to fence underwater pearls and such in Silvermoon! All these possibilities with other races that we will probably never see in game. (But like if I were to run a warcraft rpg campaign anyone interested) OR the fact that the Grookin Hozen Tribe have been a part of the Horde since mists! Imagine Grookin who swing around the jungle of Zandalar, or hanging out on the roofs in Orgrimmar! The Stonemaul tribe of Ogres has literally been a part of the Horde since Warcraft 3! Ogres should be seen in both Thunder Bluff and Ogrimmar! Interacting with the new races in the Horde! It would be a ton of fun! And those are just the start! Theres the Taunka, who we saw take the Horde oath! The Mok’Nathal that have been aligned since Burning Crusade! In BFA the Fogsail Freebooters, humans, aligned with the Horde! Humans! Technically even the San'layn were a part of the Horde before the alliance just killed them all! Maybe there are survivors who could still be a part of it because again that makes perfect sense! The Horde like always gives people a chance to redeem themselves! There are so many races other races that are part of the Horde that we sadly don’t get to see after the one expansion they debut in. Still I like to think differently. Heck for fun, if you feel up to it tell me what kind of character you would make if you weren’t constrained by game mechanics. I personally would absolutely have loved to make a San’layn Warlock, or perhaps a Grookin Hunter! Maybe I will and make a post about them later....

Playable Race concept: Taunka

requested by @halforc-mercenary

*disclaimer: This is a post for fun, it is in no way meant to be taken seriously. I have thoroughly combed the lore before making this post and is just a “what if” scenario just for shits and giggles and is meant to be taken with a grain of salt.* 

Race: Taunka

Faction: Horde

Languages: Taur-ahe, Orcish

Summary: The Taunka are descendants of the Yaungol. Spread far and wide, the Yaungol eventually evolved into various new sub-races depending on where they lived with those that traveled furthest north becoming the Taunka. Cold and unwelcoming or even aggressive to outsiders, they initially seem very different from their peaceful kin that live in Mulgore. Despite their faults, they have big hearts and an unbreakable resolve which allowed them to survive in the frozen wastes of Northrend.

After Bolvar’s defeat and the Helm of Domination’s destruction, the Scourge became more dangerous than ever and the Taunka were forced to evacuate and were welcomed as full members into the Horde by the Tauren and Highmountain Tauren.

Classes:

Warrior

Hunter, starting pet is a light grey dire worg (wolf)

Shaman, totems resemble a cross between those of Tauren and Highmountain Tauren.

Druid, forms somewhat resemble those of Tauren but larger and with shorter snouts. Flight form is a Condor.

Monk

Death Knight

Mount: Woolly Kodo

Racials: 

Trample: Active.The user crushes the enemy beneath their hooves, dealing X physical damage and reducing the target’s movement speed by 50%. Melee range, 10 second duration, 3 minute cooldown.

Bull-headed: Passive. Reduces the duration of fear, charm and disorient effects by 20%.

Dances: Same as Tauren as new models would be based on those rigs.

Customization options: Fur color, horns, hair styles, tattoos. Females finally have a unique model!

Male Flirts: 

“I hear you like ‘em beefy”

“I must be a snowflake, because I have fallen for you.:

“Do you like raisins? No? How about a date?”

“You make me wanna lock horns.”

“Is it getting hot in here or is it just you?”

“It’s not about the size of your horns, it’s how you use them!”

“People say I give them a cold shoulder, it isn’t my fault that ice sticks to my fur!”

“What do you find between the hooves of Taunka? Slow alliance soldiers”

“Honestly I have trouble telling the Tauren and Highmountain Tauren apart”

“I tried to grab fog once, but I mist.

Female Jokes:

“This heifer don’t take no bull”

“Taunka tough!”

“How can you tell when a Taunka is in your sleeping bag? The ceiling of your tent is really close!”

“Icemist Tauren? What are those?”

“I met a Yaungol once, talk about a fiery temper!”
