* KungFuWizard: When Durotan challenges him to ''Mak'Gora'', Gul'dan obliges. [[spoiler: He took off his robe and stood up to his full height, and he's ''ripped.'' And he gives quite a good unarmed beating to Durotan, as far as spellcasters go.]]

* OnlySaneMan: He is the only orc leader to realize something is fishy with [[ObviouslyEvil Gul'dan]] from the start (and to point out their world started to die out right when Gul'dan began to abuse his Fel Magic) and decides to actually do something about it. In a bit of LampshadeHanging, Gul'dan himself aknowledges that Frostwolves are renowned for having the most common sense among orc clans.

* FakeDefector: [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]]. [[spoiler:She reluctantly becomes one on Llane request by killing him in front of the Horde, rejoining the Horde as a heroine so she can help arrange peace later on. Unfortunately, they have no way to tell anyone on the human side about this plan, meaning she is now seen as a real traitor by them, including Lothar.]]
* FishOutOfWater: She is a half-orc who was raised for most of her life in orcish culture. As a result, she finds humans and most things about their sense of morality confusing.


Added DiffLines:

* HypercompetentSidekick: At the beginning of the movie, she is essentially kept by orcs as little more than a slave, and treated as such; however, she is shown to be rather intelligent, educated enough that she can understand Draenei language, and manages to learn human language pretty fast once on Azeroth just by listening to captives and speaking to them. She also is a rather skilled fighter, as seen in battle over the course of the movie. For someone who was raised as a slave, that is quite impressive.

* ConflictingLoyalties: He is Durotan's closest friend, but is somewhat reluctant to betray Gul'dan as he suggests, feeling uncomfortable at the idea of siding with humans to fight his own brothers.



* HalfBreedDiscrimination: She is treated with disdain and as a slave by the other orcs because of her half-breed status, to the point her mother was burnt alive for giving birth to her, and she was only spared herself because Gul'dan ordered so.



* TokenHeroicOrc: Well, only half-orc, and Orcs technically aren't AlwaysChaoticEvil in this universe, but she is on the human side for most of the movie. [[spoiler:This is exploited by Llane at the end of the movie, where he orders her to kill him whiling making it look like she betrayed him, allowing her to rejoin the Horde as a heroine in the hope she can help establish peace between their people later.]]



An ambitious warlock that controls the Horde.

An ambitious warlock that controls the Horde. He is the one responsible for opening the Portal and bringing the Horde to Azeroth, promising them a new land here.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalHeroism: To a ''very'' limited extent, as he still is one of the least sympathetic orcs, but compared to his game counterpart, he is shown to have some redeeming qualities. Despite the HonorBeforeReason entry below, he is shown to be honorable in a good way on some occasions, such as when [[spoiler:he refuses to interfere in the duel between Gul'dan and Durotan]].

* WeakButSkilled: Is the first to work out that shields, armor and brute strength are fairly useless against orcs, and than the best way to beat them is to use speed and technique instead.

None

Added DiffLines:

* WorthyOpponent: To Blackhand, [[spoiler:and eventually the entire orc race]]. Blackhand states early on that there is no challenge in humanity, which might be why he takes such an interest in Lothar after Lothar cripples him in battle. At the end Blackhand convinces the other orcs to let him fight Lothar one on one in ritual combat rather than kill him outright. [[spoiler:After Lothar wins (easily) the other orcs are united in respect for his prowess, allowing him his mount and the body of his king.]]

* TheMenFirst: [[spoiler:Granted, he didn't know his own escape was soon to be cut off, but it likely wouldn't have affected his decision to let the civilians through the portal first.]]

Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: Most of his more reasonable actions are clearly simply pragmatism, but forgiving Durotan for bringing his pregnant wife and saving the life of his prematurely born son offered him no immediate benefit. As it occurs at the beginning of the film, it does a good job of placing doubts about how evil he really is. [[spoiler:Very.]]
