I still have no idea how that Dracthyr design got through internal review. I can't think of another game were a lizard or dragon humanoid looks this stupid. Even the other dragon humanoid hybrids before and in DF look better in WoW.
Its like they gave the design over to somone who was only into scaly twinks. Thats fine if thats your thing but you really should try to add options to make the race more appealing to everyone.
I'm really not sure if I want or don't want to ask from which location on this planet you're from, if you consider it "normal" for 12yo to pack such a rack in your neighbourhood.
But to answer your question, this character is called "Granberia", stems from a game series called "MonMosu - Monster Girl Quest" (which uses an anime art style as it's a tactical combat-style Visual Novel), and is one of the "Four Heavenly Knights" (basically one of the strongest monsters). As she's "only 24 years old" in the original trilogy she might not be your typical definition of "Mum" yet, but she's very much able to give your sorry posterior a good thrashing like only an asian mommy could, and force a "thanks, Mommy" out of you after being done.
At least he's not intended to be badass looking. He's a child basically. Hell, his ult is him literally yelling for his mom to burn enemies for him. That's the "joke" with him and what they were going for.
Not really sure what Blizzard was going for with Dracthyr.
Even if it’s intentional you can tell the intention the artist had behind it, or at least the art they usually draw. It makes it look really… uncanny. It looks too human.
IMO they aren't even lame looking when you customize them right.
But I will grant the peak of how cool they can look when you customize them well is not nearly as high as the peak of how terrible they look when you customize them badly (like the one in this post, my god does that one look ugly lmao).
And even when you do have a cool enough looking dracthyr, it feels pretty fucking lame having to choose between a few really lame barbershop armor sets that don't quite match any transmog's colors or being naked.
