What is your Favorite Race, Faction, Character...?

By curiosity I would like to know what everyone's favorite Race(s), Organization(s), Faction(s), and Character(s) are in the Warcraft Universe? This includes all the Warcraft games, books... I'm not just talking about WoW.

Here are my favorites:

Race: Orcs and Trolls- The ones from WC2 and WC3; not the goofy looking ones in WoW. Warcraft's Orcs are the greatest Orcs ever!

Organization: The New Horde led by Thrall excluding the unnecessary, unneeded, and unwanted allies, the Blood Elves and Forsaken.

Faction: The Bleeding Hollow Clan. Bleeding-hollow-clan.jpg I don't play WoW, but I've heard that a small fraction of this clan still exist in the New Horde led by Jorin Deadeye. Back in this Clans glory days it was said that no one could equal their performance in combat. The warriors of this clan were treated like heroes when they came back to Draenor after living in Azeroth for about 30 years. Man, how long was the first and second war?

Characters: Killrogg DeadeyeKilrogg.jpg-Leader of the Bleeding Hollow Clan. He was a very cunning and strong warrior, even in his old age. Unlike most chieftains, he wasn't willing to just throw lives away.
Grom Hellscreamorcwarrior-prev.jpg- powerful warrior that killed a Night Elf god and a Demigod. Beat that! He struggled to contain his bloodlust, but in the end was able to redeem himself and save his people from the Demon's curse forever.
Thrall-472px-Thrall_hrone.jpg You guys already know.
Zul'jin-430px-Zul'jinWallpaperCrop1.PNG.jpeg This guy united ALL the forest trolls and created the first troll empire. Has anybody made a campaign for this yet?

Thats all I got for now, I'll come back later when I think of some other Characters and Factions... that I liked.

Now let me ask you what your most Hated Race(s), Faction(s), Organization(s), Character(s) are. Well, what are they?

Mine are;

Race: Blood Elves- they're so cocky and vengeful. Draeni- My Orcs defeated their kind long ago. Then Blizzard decided to bring them back. Undead- seriously, they're better off being creeps instead of a playable race.

Organization: The Burning Legion- they need to rethink their life. Bunch of bullies.

Faction: The Forsaken, Scourage, Stormreaver clan and some others that I can't think of.

Character: Guldan- If it wasn't for this guy the Horde would have one the second war! Traitor! Man, if it wasn't for him do you realize that the Humans wouldn't be a playable race in WoW? Alliance lovers should be thanking him.

This is all I got for now. Lets hear your favs and hates, Warcraft fans.

The Kolbolds are Blizzard's dumbest creation yet.

By the way, I hate bugs, so the nerubians are definitely out. Arthas and Illidan were cool. I wish we would have gotten to play more Illidan in WC3 before he turned to his demon form.

Race:Murlocs(RWLRLWLRWLRW What else to be said?They are epic!)Tauren(We Taurens always had great respects for the works of the Earth Mother. -Cairne Bloodhoof.)They are the meat shield of the horde and if you shot em a fireball, you'l only scratch their back :eek:

Characters:Maiev Shadowsong
MaievShadowsongSamwise.jpg


Cause she is the most ruthless Elf i ever seen, he risked her life to Capture Illidan and avenge her friends, and i hope she is alive at WoW :eek: moar uber powas!

Prince Arthas Menethil:
Arthas.jpg


Well, what to tell ye,(takes a look at account name)Arthas is the most epic character in all the warcraft universe, once started his journey to vanish the plague, he was challenged by the dreadlord Mal'Ganis to a fight at Northrend, where he aquired the legendary, cursed runeblade known as Frostmurne, he killed the Dreadlord and then joined the dark side, withought controling his mind, he killed his Father and razed the whole Lordaeron empire, killed his mentor uther, destoryed quel'thalas and finaly he became the Lich King.
(Hope WoW nerds wont kill him :( )

Organisation:
The Tauren of Mulgore, they help the horde with their wise druids and storng warriors and they are awesome too.

Clan:
Thunder-lord-clan.jpg

The ThunderLords,
it was the only clan that stayed long on Draenor, that did one of the most contribution ot the horde, their Raiders.They ruled and allied with the Bonechewer clan, and they made their final stand at the Civil war, killed by Ner'zhul.

Murlocs huh; lol, I wasn't expecting that. Deathwing is cool and so is his name. The Thunderlords were cool too. Good to see that they kept the raiders. I still can't believe Guldan disbanded them. He said the Death knights were better. All they were were just some undead warlocks on horses.

L2love, what do you have against dwarves?

The Orcs are still the best.

ok here's mine
Race:Human (and just human no elfs or dwarfs)
Organisation:I dont know the brave humans who didnt run off to Kalimdor
Charecter:Lord Garithos cuz he's the olny mounted mele human hero,the cool black armor,the fact that he looks like a normal knight (other blizzard heros dont look like normal units),the fact that HE IS A KNIGHT and the fact that he wasn't a coward like jaina (i'd hate jaina if she was a guy but i like her cuz she's hot (as a chick))

Now for the hated ones
Race:every non-human (exception:Night Elfs they're cool even for elfs)
Faction:the Scourge,the Forsaken (+0.5 more times that the scourge),those traitors the high/blood elfs,the shity dwarfs)
Characters:Kael'tas-For betraying the humans and joining the nagas and deamons
Arthas for ruining Lordaeron
Noob'thuzad cuz if he wasnt such a power whore the plague would have never started!
And finaly Sylvanas:High Els + Undead (worst combination ever) and the fact that she killed my fav hero (see above)

No, you are totally wrong. It is Garithos who is coward. Jaina HAD TO go to Kalimdor, to save her people, and whole Azeroth!

Well you are kinda right i rememberd now that Mediv told her to go to kalimdor and bla bla bla.But Lord Garithos is no coward!He was (damn blizzard :cry:) the last Royal Knight of king *arthas's dad* and a grand marshal.When Lordaeron fell he didnt try to escape (not to kalimdor but somewhere south of lordaeron)no he stayed and captured Dalaran,then in some time after the betreyal of the damn blood elfs he and his whole army got brainwashed by the green Dreadlord guy,then he got killed by the damn *itch sylvanas (high elf+undead=my archnemesis)

Oh yeah and spoilers ! :razz:

Indeed maybe, but remember:
1.He hates all non-human beings (including dwarves, high elves, blood elves). He is corrupted.
2. HE ALLIED WITH FORSAKEN! Indeed because he wanted to return Capital City, but...
3. He would be more useful with Jaina.

1 Well the H/B E and D suck anyways so he's right

3 Indeed it would have been cool (again damn blizzard :cry::cry::cry::cry::pcry::pcry::pcry::necry::necry::necry::witch_doc_sad::sad::sad::witch_doc_sad:) btw I'm doing a campaign about what would have happend if blizzard werent so damn lazy!

the night elves, because their concept was something really new. its like a mixture of the old mystic, celtic matriarchy of avalon and classical elves. their music, visual style, gameplay and also the traditions, beliefs and attitudes are really well fitting and maiev just owns all :D

The Night Elves are awesome, especially the women. They're all drop dead gorgeous. Although, I have to admit that it felt weird fighting a race of warrior women when I first played WC3. Was it like that for you guys?

hmm, first time, yes. but they are not just an amazon army.. the roles are just different. the druids, which are a part of the army too, are male.

we just think that way because of our christian patriarchy tradition..
in other culteres, like some parts of the celtic which i mentioned before, female fighters just were normal.

Like:

Races:
-Tauren because they are strong but peacful
-All Troll from Warcraft 2 and 3, not sure why but I always liked them
-Naga but I wish they were playable in Warcraft

Best faction is old Horde because they were true warriors and if Gul'dan was dead they would actually win.

Organization I would say Silver Hand but they really need more action.

Hate:

-Races: All elves since they are in center of attention. They are just pointy eared humans.
Magthor (brwn orcs) for ruining whole orc concept. I mean really chicken pox cure corruption and protect them from Dreanor destruction?
-Gilineas for leaving alliance and then they crawled back when they got worgen flue

Warlocks weren't used in Second war. Twilght and stormreaver clan would be loyal to the Doomhammer without Gul'dan to brainwash them then again maybe stormreaver wouldn't exist but main battles were won by Blackrock and Black tooth-grin clan. Only Deathknights were his good thing.

One question: What is Worgen? Maybe add a pic of each race to make it clearer.

Worgen is a wolf-like race, but it stands on 2 feet like a human (werewolf)

Night Elves.
Been killing that imba Blademaster since 03'
I probably wasn't clear enough, please choose from the 10 available ones.

I would vote for Tauren, but they are not included. :p
Hmmm, I'll find a way to implement them... I'm a huge fan of tauren as well.
Maybe as scattered tribes?

To clarify, there are many reasons races were not added to this poll. They are not chosen because I like/dislike them, but also for many other reasons. Some of the races you mentioned are in the game, but almost extinct.

Dragons are near-extinction for example.
