World of Warcraft’s The War Within expansion is set to officially introduce one new playable race, but dataminers think they’ve discovered a second, hidden Allied Race that could become playable in the future.
The War Within just launched its public alpha test, and the dataminers over at Wowhead have wasted no time combing through the game’s files to discover new armor sets, ability changes, and more. One of the most interesting discoveries so far is a new NPC race, the Harronir. They look to be a “missing link” of sorts between Trolls and Night Elves, with some fans already referring to the race as Dark Elves or Dark Trolls.
The Harronir have a surprising amount of customization options for a simple NPC race, and even a set of armor that very much looks like it could be their unique racial Heritage Armor, something that Blizzard has worked on giving to each playable race over the last few years. Options for Harronir even appear in fields alongside other playable races in the game’s files, certainly making them appear to be more than just NPCs.
