** Dracthyr are androgynous (their gendered tells are only in their mortal disguises), anthropomorphic [[DraconicHumanoid dragon people]] with a much lither and more athletic build than most of the game's other races. They flat out ''avert'' the ReptilesAreAbhorrent nature of most reptilian races in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Being what they are, it's perhaps inevitable that a great deal of scalies had ''[=WoW=]'' put on the map (or retired furries intending to return to the game taking notice) because of the option to play as dragon people that aren't LittleBitBeastly (history repeating, the only other race that gets close is ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'''s Au Ra, and it's more of an AmbiguousSituation even then despite debuting in an expansion where dragons are a vocal point). While there ''is'' a bit of a division over just how lithe Dracthyr are when compared to Drakonids -- the other anthropomorphic dragon people -- there's no question it drew eyes from dragon fans towards the game, especially when the full breadth of their customization showed they have more customization options than a majority of the game's other races ''combined'', ensuring that it's extremely unlikely any Dracthyr will look identical to another.

The only mitigating factor is the Dracthyr's extremely narrow class options (That is to say, ''only'' Evoker as of Dragonflight), should more classes ever open up to the race there will likely be a flood of Dracthyr very similar to what happened with Vulpera.
