A "new" race is about to burst onto the scene on the World of Azeroth - well, maybe not so "new"...
 
The Eredar are described as "one of the oldest known races in the universe." They are the Commanders...the strategy makers...(the "decision-makers?"...) of the dreaded Burning Legion. Their skills in magic and the Dark Arts Arcane are known and feared throughout the worlds of the Great Dark Beyond.

Among the more infamous members of the Eredar race are a couple of characters that would make loathsome creatures like Beelzebub and Dick Cheney look positively urbane. Archimonde (known to his friends as "Archie") and Kil'jaeden (aka "Killer J") take pride and pleasure in cunning, sadistic acts of cruelty, and are now at the head of a hell-spawned legion of demons bent on total annihilation...

But don't take my word for it. Look at the guy - is this someone you would want to meet in a dark alley? Well, at least they fight their own wars.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will include a whole new world and many new dungeons.  These unexplored lands of Azeroth are inhabited by numerous creatures, both strange and wondrous as well as horrifying. The Outland is home to everything from Thieves Arcane and "savage demigods" to nightmarish remnants of an ancient time, half-remembered, and beasts of great beauty and magnificence.

The very latest additions to the WoW Bestiary are the Fungal Giants and the Ogre Lords.

Fungal Giants are not mushrooms as you might expect, but like their mycological relatives, have been nurtured by the rich soil of Zangarmarsh. Despite their startling and terrifying appearance, these huge wetland beasts are  relatively non-aggressive. When threatened, however, they can be merciless killers. They feed on other native swamp creatures, as well as any Lost Ones who - through accident or design - trespass on their hideaways.

Ogres are thought to be descended from the overgrown, monocular abominations known as Gronn. If this is true, the Ogre Lords of Outland are the only creatures known to retain the physical traits of their gronn ancestors, such as the bony, calcified protrusions on their head and back - not to mention their physical stature and power. They are also highly intelligent and logical creatures, far more so than their ogre cousins. This is a combination worthy of both respect... and fear.

World of Warcraft's The Burning Crusade is home to a vast array of strange, wondrous and terrifying creatures. Arcane thieves, savage demigods and other spine-tingling beasts are just some of the inhabitants you must watch out for in the untamed lands of Azeroth. Recent additions to the creatures that would eat you whole and spit you out are the Spore Bats and Spore Walkers.

Spore Walkers are believed to have evolved from a simple organism found in the depths of Zangarmarsh into the killing machine that it is now. They are able to derive toxins from the spores and fungi in the marsh that they use to stun or immobilize their unknowing prey.

A more highly evolved sub-species of the Spore Walkers, Spore Bats also draw virulent toxins that they use to catch their prey off guard. Their ability to fly packs an added punch to their already lethal arsenal. Adventurers are warned to steer clear of these highly accomplished predators.
