We all have our favorite races, whether we actively play them or not. Personally, I have a thing for playing Humans and I desperately want to play an Ethereal one day. At the very least, have an Ethereal presence in Wrath, even a small one.What about your least favorite races, though? We all have those, too. We don't always have good explanations for it, but for one reason or another there's just something that drives us absolutely crazy. My #1 most hated race in Warcraft would have to be Gnolls. What do they even do? Their most famous member is Hogger, who doesn't even do anything. Okay okay, they kill people and that's bad, but they don't do do anything. At least Kobolds mine stuff up.
Tell you what, I'll go ahead and give my Top 5 after the jump. If you're interested, go ahead and read on!
- Gnolls - Already covered them. Boooring. They just sort of... exist, without doing much else.
- Moonkin/Wildkin - They're big, they're ugly, and if you could smell them, it would probably be horrible. Their only plus is Moonfire spam makes me giggle, in a good way. For the record, I'm referring to the NPCs, not the players.
- Furbolgs - Okay, so the questline in the Draenei starting zones was pretty awesome. That much I'll admit, but I farmed these guys for a really, REALLY long time as a Holy Priest back in the day for their patterns, and I wish I wouldn't have to see one ever again. Wrath, why do you hate me so? And really, would it hurt them to put on some more clothes? Tauren manage it well enough.
- Dwarves - Yes yes, I know, everyone loves Dwarves. I don't really know what it is about them that I don't like, but I think their story just doesn't grab me. Their history is very interesting, but their World of Warcraft story is boring. The Titans are neat, sure, but there's only so many Dwarven dig sites you can go to that are full of some new wacky evil thing they dug up without getting bored of it. Uh oh, raptors! Uh oh, golems! Uh oh, an Old God! Uh oh, Thrall and Jaina's hidden love shack! I play Alliance, so I have to put up with these guys every day.
- Naga - You were kind of lame in Azeroth, but you became pretty neat when I ran into you in Zangarmarsh. I got sick of you when I ended up Exalted with the Cenarion Expedition on two characters. I wanted to tear my eyeballs out of my head by the time we killed Lady Vashj. Then you followed me to the Black Temple. Why oh why are you going to be in Wrath of the Lich King? Leave me alone, for just awhile! Please!?
I bet you were expecting murlocs, weren't you? Murlocs are overrated.

I too hate the Naga. They're just annoying for some reason. I was surprised to see that some wanted them for a playable race. Please . . . no . . .

They have a great deal in common with The Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.

My least favorite must be Troggs, they're ugly and suck..
But one of my favourite is gnolls, they're really cool. It's like an entire race of bandits, except for that fortune teller in darkmoon farie.

Slithids of all varieties. I hated Olthoi back in the day, so these guys automatically went on my list.
Undead. Please, just finish decaying and leave us in peace.

I agree. Bugs and zombies get old in a hurry. I feel like I need to go take a shower after I kill undead.

i hate all the races in the alliance because you can never make them look cool or intimidating. they have stupid little eyes and noses that look like balls and humans with square heads? i don't mind the draenei but they are still fucked up looking. i just like their history and i really like the horde history and how you can make them look cool and intimidating and the blood elf females are hot unlike human females who have junk up in thier trunk and are coke bottle shapped.

Um.. blood elf females look like 11 year old boys and blood elf males look like 14 year old girls. Unless you're a teenager, that's just creepy!
