World of Warcraft: The War Within Dataminers Unearth What They Think May Be a New Playable Race
Dataminers are doing their thing with World of Warcraft expansion The War Within now that developer Blizzard has made an alpha build available for early testing, and already there are some interesting discoveries.
Warning! Potential spoilers for World of Warcraft The War Within follow.
As Wowhead reports, The War Within appears to contain a new playable race called the Harronir. The Harronir, so far unannounced, have so many customisation options that Wowhead speculates they will become playable at some point in the future, if not at the launch of The War Within, based on past experience with existing playable races the Nighborne and Vulpera.
In looking through the War Within customization data, we expected to see the Earthen Allied Race show up with many new customization descriptions. Seeing so many for the Harronir took us by surprise!#warcraft #WarWithin https://t.co/HUZtFNSJUc pic.twitter.com/GLu9Uod364

So, what are the Harronir, exactly? Without further information from Blizzard, we can only speculate. Some players believe they look like the missing link between Dark Trolls and Night Elves, given they have small tusks. If this is true, the Harronir could be another Neutral Allied Race, a sort of subterranean elf-like race that have gone undiscovered thus far. One new playable race Blizzard has announced is coming to the long-running MMO with The War Within is the Earthen, the first Neutral Allied Race available to both Alliance and Horde players.
