That's how female trolls have always stood...well except for the Alpha troll female models.

HOLY CRAP! Kratos is that you?

Also, dunno how to feel about the Female Zandalari model. Too human I guess. Needs to be a wee bit more Troll.

HE WILL DESTROY OLYMPUS!

And I find myself strangely attracted to the troll...

It's prob the blue skin.

You must have loved Avatar.

I personally think that the fact that her hips are FAR wider than her torso is more troll than we tend to get.

Stupid question - Cigars in lore, do they exist? I'd wager they'd be made by goblins but yes.

Seeing as Gallywix is smoking one on his official artwork I'm assuming cigars do exist in azeroth, we just don't see them because at its core, wow is still a teen game and maybe blizz is concerned about being accused of promoting tobacco consumption.

Don't look at me like that, some puritan zealots are like that, there's a reason why Disney has removed any references or scenes including cigars or cigarettes from all their classic films, and no future animated film of theirs is EVER to portray any tobacco use at all. So maybe this is why we don't see any cigars in the game. (That and model limitations, having to put something on your mouth would have to require a full head-slot item, rather than be main-hand/off-hand like the beer mugs.)

Describe 'wee bit more troll.'I do think that, from the front at least, he face is what looks too human to me. Minus the tusks and the nose, she just looks like a human lady. Compare to the faces we have right now, and you'll start to see the difference. The existing model has broader jawbones, a slightly longer chin, and a more pronounced brow (depending on which face you choose, of course). Granted people are individuals, and there is a huge variety among humans and human races, so Zandalari may just look different from troll we've seen.

Honestly, I really like this look for female trolls, if you gave her a slightly longer nose and smaller feet.

but........ that image has an anatomical mistake. Trolls have only 3 fingers on their feet. 2 in the front, and 1 in the back where their heels would be. That picture however has human feet with one big fat bit toe, and 3 smaller toes (no pinky though)

And those are draenei legs (as in, double-jointed, with only the tip of the feet actually used for walking.

And those are draenei legs (as in, double-jointed, with only the tip of the feet actually used for walking.The fingers and toes are a mistake, yes. As for the legs, all the double-joint actually is is just the ankle. In a lot of digitigrade animals, the "foot" is only composed of the digits, and what appears to be a backwards knee is homologous to our ankles. That troll appears to just have really big feet which she is standing on top of.

Either way, I was mostly referring to the face, which is what I criticized in the Zandalari, rather than every aspect of the picture.

I still can't figure out why Gallywix is still leader of the Goblins. I can understand Thrall having more important things to do than figure out the best leader for them, and so not dealing with it then, but why have Thrall, Garrosh, or the Bilgewater done nothing since then? Have they forgotten that he was basically the antagonist for the entire Goblins starter zones?

Considering he shows up in Tides of War (where he, rather hilariously, tries to get A HUG from the warchief. Key word: TRIES) and he's alluded by the NPCs in Landfall (Alliance and Horde) then no, nobody has killed him.

On a sidenote, gallywix sells overpriced stuff on the black market AH.

He may show up, but I'm still hoping they declare 90% of that book non-canon....

Ugh. I am really not fond of dragon relationships with mortals. Part of why half-dragons really irk me. (Sorry Hyper... :C)
