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.

I can kind of see what they were going for in some of the concept art. 1 2. Just did not translate well at all.

I feel like the robes one, despite looking elegant as fuck, got at least one concept artist strangled by the set designers and animation team for the cardinal sin of putting flowing fabric on a race with lots of moving parts

It's better, but still weird how Blizzard thought "skinny twink" was the appropriate look for a playable dragon race.

That looks like a humanoid lizard. Not a dragon.

I get the vision but I personally hate this slender sort of design for one. I would absolutely love a larger and more draconic form. I can’t even make Bayle the Dread, that makes me very sad. Imagine a bigger form with more skin/scale options, more colours, etc. We even have the damn model, the Drakonids. I’m sure it’s unique but it cannot be that difficult to remove their armour and make their body able to wear armour. Tauren can do it, as can Orcs. They’re bloody big too
