One of the only Alliance races I play in World of Warcraft is Worgen, the werewolf-like bestial race. They have their own bodybuilder pose animated with the /flex (emote) command. I decided I'd like a lean, buff representation of Zakansis (named after my first Iksar Shaman) to show y'all. Maybe risking getting your throat ripped out might be worth getting close to such a masculine, muscular stud? At least you might die with a grin, if only in rictus.

Rars! I tend to try and do something every day in game, but lack any good guild or contact to get much of anything done along the lines of endgame dungeons, and some of the older content's rare drops (like a couple mounts from Dragon Soul - just too hard solo, and tricky/trying with only 2 even at 100 and well-equipped). Still, the pursuit of certain companion pet-based achievements and the elusive 300 mount achievement have me still efforting toward those goals. Having characters of both factions on the same server has been handy, but having said that, I'd probably begin on some other server if there were some better cooperative content pursuits in the offing.
When schoolchildren are introduced to real wolves (some are tame enough to serve as ambassadors of a sort for the feral), they often draw pictures of them with big feet. This is because a wolf's paws are more articulated, able to give traction in snow (and I reckon in swimming) versus the relatively petite feet of domestic dogs. A wolf's paws can splay toes across small rocks and river stones whereas not many dog breeds can do this.
So being a werewolf should therefore have plenty big feet, and I'm glad they do impress.

Of all the intros, theirs have been my fave. I rather like the british accent they have and gruff voices. It's almost a pity how the top hat doesn't involve itself in their more mature armor looks. The crimson-petaled English Rose makes a good accessory to their looks and racial insignia. Something beautiful that nonetheless has sharpness to it.
I would love that in any new expansion of World of Warcraft had some new non-human race for the Horde or the Alliance that had that same charisma. I do not know . Could be Dragon Men, Anthrosaurs inhabitants of Azeroth region that would be a real "Lost World" full of dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts, one race or Were-creatures feline equivalent to Worgen to speak with Native American accent. Possibilities abound I really would very much appreciate this new expansion of Warcraft involving a union between the Horde and the Alliance against the Burning Legion they launch a new playable race. But finally the Worgen are really cool. They are one of the most beautiful races of Werewolves I've ever seen.
The Native American tongue Sioux (Lakota) inspires some of the Tauren names and expressions already. The typical "Hou" ('how') greeting is Lakota, and e.g., Matoclaw is named after the Lakota word for Bear (+claw, made me wonder why call her a pastry). The casual, laid-back manner of some of the Tauren NPCs as well as intonations suggest a Lakota elder. (Reference: Dances With Wolves, Kevin Costner - authentic Sioux language is used.) My character's name, Unktehila, is an anglicized version of the Lakota phrase for Dinosaur (or dragon).
I'd a playable draconic race, perhaps inspired by the anthro dragonkin in the Caverns of Time. It might be fun(ny) to have them have a `taur appearance as well, one that might accept a rider.
Even a playable Saurok race might be fun if given some of the Pandaria lore that surrounds the creation and establishment of their race. Their foremost enemy would be the Mogu, much as the Shissar are/were to the Iksar.

Yes I realized the strong influence of Native Americans in the Tauren. They are a race with a rich culture of spiritualized and traditions harmonious with the earth, nature, the spirits of the ancestors and with a firm concept of honor and loyalty. One can clearly see that when they created the Taurens did so thinking of a race of Minotaur, immensely strong and spiritualized with a similar ancestral culture of Native Americans. The Taurens are gentle giants but are fearful and deadly when enraged. Now I'd like a race of Were-creatures that were "Dragon Men" reptilian humanoid body immensely muscular but identical Dragons (Red, Blue, Green, Black, Bronze and "Dragons Ryu" or "Eastern Dragon"). I do not mean to "Dragonspaws" I speak of a race of men and women dragons even that would be an ancient race that has remained part of the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance so far but for some reason get involved and choose one side . Nor do I speak of a race as Ramkahen I wished it was a race as the Ronsos of Final Fantasy but ultimately are only ideas. Usually the reality is often more surprising that our imaginations.
Glad ya approve. I been looking over the art of blizzard (coffee table book) and notice how very gothic and ferocious they conceived Worgen from the very start. I'd just as soon have Pandaren be Alliance only, if that meant the ability to choose faction for Worgen. Of course, I'd have expanded the concept to being a lycanthropic affliction of any base race you'd prefer. A Goblin/Gnome Worgen vs. Tauren/Draenei Worgen might be quite something!
The concept art for both races is really impressive too. I am unsure if blizzard.com showcases their initial paintings of these races and of their insignia. Due to AUP here I can't just scan in and upload from their art books, but believe me this is the root of inspiration (even if not necessarily seen by the artists who I commissioned).
Those too. Sadly non of them "stack" with each other. The only way to get as big as possible "convenient" is the World Shinker toy/engineer item. Although my Pandaren warrior can put most people to shame with her weapons which, if both are triggered, she gets much bigger than the items I just mentioned.
Stomach everywhere, eh?
I tend to add engineering/mining to alts for the toys possible, especially those that teleport you around. Although binding in Pandaria near the portals and having a ring of kirin tor tends to be sufficient for most purposes, adding perhaps the clicky back item that sends you to your faction's capitol city.
