Sketches of Dracthyr from the era of vanilla WoW!

With WoW: #Dragonflight, the #Dracthyr come into the game as a new race. These magical dragon warriors are the result of #Neltharions research before he became the Aspect of Death (aka #Deathwing). These hybrid creatures (much like the #Worgen) can take on a humanoid and a dragon form. The Callers are available to both factions, but as a Dracthyr you can only choose the Caller class.

Unlike Neltharion’s previous experiments, the Dracthyr were nearly perfect. To create perfect soldiers, Neltharion fused the life essence of the dragons with the DNA of mortal races that lived throughout Azeroth at the time. Neltharion’s original idea was to combine the strength and magic of dragons with the cunning and ingenuity of mortals. The Dracthyr were a resounding success, yet Neltharion had to put his research on hold. Nefarian, the son of Deathwing, later resumed his father’s research. He created the Chromatic Dragonflight and a strange creature called Maloriak, which was quite similar to the Dracthyr.

Dragon sketches from the Classic era of WoW

So the concept of dragon mongrel creatures is not new. On Reddit, a WoW player named xperio28 posted a sketch from the Art of book (from 2004) showing a Drachkin that strongly resembles the Dracthyr. The exciting thing is that many of the drawings from the book were made before the release of vanilla WoW.

In the WoW community at the moment there is a lot of about the appearance of the Dracthyr discussed. Many WoW players think the look of the wiry Dracthyr takes some getting used to. The dragon race is too slender, they think. Although Blizzard’s developers said that the appearance and the body’s fullness can be adjusted a bit later, the dragon model seems much too slender even with maximum dimensions.

However, the Dragonkin seen in the Classic-era sketch has the perfect body dimensions – not too narrow and not too wide. Players are hoping that the developers will take inspiration from this classic drawing to put the finishing touches on the Dracthyr before they enter the game. What do you think of the Dracthyr’s dragon form? Do you like the sketch and should Blizzard adapt the look of the new race?
