The Mok'Nathal are a clan of half-ogre, half-orc hybrids, native to Draenor. Some accompanied the Horde on its first invasion of Azeroth, but their mixed ancestry meant they never quite fit in; outcast from both ogre and orc society, they honed their hunting arts to become Beastmasters, isolated from all civilization and relying only on themselves, their companions, and their skills to survive. These lone wanderers are able to call forth all manner of beasts to aid them in combat and seek to perfect their skills through mimicry of beasts. They can summon a powerful bear with Summon Bear, a quill-shooting boar with Summon Quilbeast, and a proud hawk to scout the map with Summon Hawk. Their ultimate ability, Stampede, calls down a horde of rampaging thunder lizards to explode against the Beastmaster's enemies.

* ActionBomb: The thunder lizards summoned by Stampede explode upon contact with the enemy.
* BearsAreBadNews: Their most durable and versatile summon is a bear.
* TheBeastmaster: Duh. In-game they generally summon their pets, but that's more a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation. The campaign Beastmaster, Rexxar, names all his pets and has a personal connection with each of them.
* DualWielding: They dual-wield axes.
* FullBoarAction: The Quilbeast most resembles a boar, though its ability to shoot quills also brings to mind a porcupine.
* HeadHat: They wear a beast head as a helmet.
* NobleBirdOfPrey: Summon Hawk summons a "proud hawk" that's useful for spying on enemies, as its upgraded versions can both see invisible units and are invisible themselves.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Though in lore all manner of races take up the Beastmaster mantle, in-game they are always the orc-ogre hybrid Mok'Nathal.
* PeltsOfTheBarbarian: They have the wanderer-warrior culture of a classic fantasy barbarian, and all their (limited) clothing consists of furs.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: They wear their beast head helmet, a cape, a single pauldron, a loincloth, and boots. Their legs and chests are completely exposed.

The fearsome Crypt Lords were once the kings of the mighty underground kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, which stretched beneath the continent of Northrend. When the Scourge, led by the Lich King, proved its supremacy in the War of the Spider, the Crypt Lords were swayed to join the Scourge and were granted the immortality of undeath. These massive, insectoid beings are the mightiest of the Scourge's warriors and guard their holdings in Northrend. They can deal damage to enemies in a line and hurl them into the air with Impale, improve their armor and return damage to melee attackers with Spiked Carapace, and create Carrion Beetles from enemy corpses. Their Ultimate ability, Locust Swarm, sends out a horde of locusts to attack enemies, which return and heal the Crypt Lord.

* AncientEgypt: Their mutliplayer names all have obvious Egyptian influence.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: They resemble massive rhinoceros beetles.
* BeetleManiac: Aside from being large beetles themselves, they can also create up to 5 Carrion Beetles to attack enemies.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: They can do this to enemies with (what else?) Impale.
* MightyGlacier: The tankiest of the undead heroes, slow-moving and focused on defense.

night elves' special police force in Kalimdor. Where others protect the night elves from external threats, the Wardens keep watch on internal ones. They serve as the jailers and marshals of night elf society, rooting out all manner of threats to their peaceful existence from within -- from tracking and apprehending fugitives, to guarding the prisons that hold the worst criminals, to assassinating those too dangerous to be allowed to live. They can damage and poison enemies with Shadow Strike, throw knives out in a circle with Fan of Knives, and teleport short distances with Blink. Their Ultimate ability, Vengeance, summons a shadowy Avatar of Vengeance that creates Spirits of Vengeance from friendly corpses to attack the Warden's enemies.

The Wild God Cenarius, son of Elune and the great stag Malorne, is the patron of the wild forests of Azeroth and protector of the night elves. His sons, the Keepers of the Grove, are charged with protecting their father's domain. With the upper body of a night elf and the lower body of a stag, the Keepers of the Grove stand ready to respond to any who would threaten the wild places they and their charges call home. They can immobilize and damage enemies with Entangling Roots, bring trees to life to do battle with Force of Nature, and let allies damage melee attackers with Thorns Aura.

* HornedHumanoid: They have curved horns coming forward out of their foreheads.


Added DiffLines:

The first Liches were originally orc warlocks who were transformed into twisted aberrations of their former selves by the Legion when Draenor was destroyed. They are empowered with the vengeance of the cold north and the decay of death itself, but their tremendous magical power carries an equally tremendous price: they are enslaved to the will of the Lich King, Ner'zhul. They can damage groups of enemies with Frost Nova, grant allies armor and slow their attackers with Frost Armor, and sacrifice a friendly undead unit to gain mana with Dark Pact. Their ultimate ability, Death and Decay, damages all units and buildings in a large area, friend or foe, for 4% of their maximum health every second.

* AnIcePerson: They specialize in ice magic, coming from the GrimUpNorth. In-game, they possess Frost Armor and Frost Nova.
* BlackMagic: They use a twisted, corrupt, dark magic that contrasts with the other mystical heroes.
* DemBones: Entirely skeletal, though they also wear long flowing robes.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: In contrast to the Archmage's ice magic, which is more raw elemental power and comes from their [[MakingASplash water-based magic]], the Lich's ice powers are firmly rooted in the chill of the grave.
* TheNecromancer: More of a theme than their actual in-game abilities. Death and Decay makes use of death magic, though.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: They are essentially floating skeletons wearing flowing dark robes who levitate and specialize in ice and death magic.

First founded by Illidan Stormrage, Demon Hunters are shadowy warriors, shunned by broader night elf society, who turn the terrible powers of the Burning Legion against them. They ritually blind themselves to develop "spectral sight," allowing them to see demons and undead with greater clarity. They can burn away enemies' mana and damage them with Mana Burn, cloak themselves in flames with Immolation Aura to damage nearby enemies, and dodge enemy attacks with Evasion. Their ultimate ability, Metamorphosis, transforms them into a terrifying demon with massive bonuses to health, health regeneration, and damage.

* BlindWeaponmaster: They ritually blind themselves and wear blindfolds. Their "spectral sight" still allows them to see their prey; whether they can see anything else is left ambiguous.
* DualWielding: Dual-wields large glaives.
* FragileSpeedster: Zig-zagged; they have fast movement speed and low health, but their Evasion ability actually makes them decent tanks.
* MageKiller: Their quick speed and Mana Burn ability makes them excellent anti-spellcaster heroes.
* ManaBurn: One of their normal abilities. The mana also combusts, causing damage equal to the amount drained.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Their whole shtick is to turn the dark powers of the Legion against the demons.
* WreathedInFlames: Immolation Aura cloaks the Demon Hunter in flames, damaging all nearby enemies. It continually drains mana while active, though.

* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to the Blood Mage's red; the Archmage's focus on ice and water magic and their general apathetic disposition contrast with the Blood Mage's focus on fire spells and their burning desire for revenge.

to:

* KillItWithFire: AnimalMotifs: Phoenixes, and birds in general. In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the phoenix is the main element of the crest of the blood elves.
* ManaDrain: The main purpose of Siphon Mana, though it can also be used to transfer the Blood Mage's mana to an ally.
* HellFire: In lore, they fuel their fire magics with demonic energy, and part of their signature look is the three orbs of felfire always orbiting around them.

Dreadlords, also called Nathrezim, are among the most powerful of demons and the primary agents, spies, and enforcers of the Burning Legion, sent to keep lower units in line and prepare worlds for the demonic invasion. On Azeroth, they have been tasked by the Legion to oversee the Scourge, the vast undead army tasked with weakening the inhabitants of Azeroth so that they cannot offer resistance to the Legion. They can send out a swarm of bats against foes with Carrion Swarm, put enemies to sleep with Sleep, and allow allies to recover health when damaging enemies with Vampiric Aura. Their ultimate ability, Inferno, summons a mighty Infernal demon from the sky.

Death Knights are the premier warriors of the Undead Scourge. Though they were once paladins who ventured north to find the source of the Plague of Undeath, these former champions of truth now serve the Lich King, riding at the head of his dread armies and sowing chaos and destruction in their wake. Mounted atop fearsome undead deathchargers and wielding runeblades infused with dark magic, they bring terror to all who would stand in the Scourge's way. They can heal their undead allies and damage living enemies with Death Coil, sacrifice a friendly undead unit to restore their own health with Death Pact, and grant their allies improved movement speed and health regeneration with Unholy Aura. Their ultimate ability, Animate Dead, brings to life the corpses of the 6 most powerful nearby units, putting them all under the Death Knight's control for the duration.

* AristocratsAreEvil: All of their randomly-generated names contain a title of nobility -- "Baron," "Lord," or "Duke."
* CoolSword: They are known for using runeblades, swords emblazoned with runes that grant the weapon magical powers.




to:

* FragileSpeedster: Relatively speaking, anyway. They are the most fragile of the Warrior heroes, but their horses and Unholy Aura make them by far the fastest.
* HolyBurnsEvil: {{Inverted|Trope}} with Death Coil, which does damage to enemy living units and heals friendly undead units.

Among trolls, those skilled in voodoo magic and battle become the revered leaders of their tribes; these leaders are called Shadow Hunters. Wielding a variety of magics, Shadow Hunters can heal and sustain their allies, curse their foes, and commune with the spirits to bargain for power or plead for aid in the interest of carving out a future for the trolls. They can heal multiple allies at once with Healing Wave, summon a fire-spitting snake totem with Serpent Ward, and turn enemies into frogs with Hex. Their ultimate ability, Big Bad Voodoo, allows the Shadow Hunter to turn all nearby friendly units (but not himself) invulnerable for up to 30 seconds.

* AnimalMotifs: As with most trolls in ''Warcraft'', reptiles and amphibians. Hex turns enemies into frogs, and their summonable Serpent Wards are (as one might expect) snake-shaped.
* BalefulPolymorph: Hex turns enemies into frogs.
* HollywoodVoodoo: Although the religious element of actual Vodoun is present to some degree (bargaining with spirits and such), it's mostly just a cool Caribbean-flavored variant of shamanic magic.
* NighInvulnerable: Big Bad Voodoo turns allies invincible, but the Shadow Hunter remains vulnerable to damage.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Their basic attack throws a glaive at the target. This is a bit of a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, as in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', most shadow hunters use bows.

The Burning Blade clan of orcs was among the most vicious and unstable of all the corrupted clans in the demonic Horde. Ultimately their violence caused the clan itself to collapse entirely. Having seen the results of their fall from honor, the elite warriors of the Burning Blade -- the Blademasters -- swore an oath to free themselves and their people from the demons' grasp forever. They can randomly increase their attack damage with Critical Strike, create illusory copies of themselves with Mirror Image, or gain speed and invisibility with Wind Walk. Their ultimate ability, Bladestorm, causes them to become a spinning engine of death, continually slashing at all nearby enemies for a short time.

* {{BFS}}: Wields a giant katana-like sword.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: No explanation is offered for the Blademaster's "more mystical abilities" except their impossible skill with a sword.
* GlassCannon: Has exceedingly high damage output thanks to Wind Walk and Critical Strike, but not nearly as much durability. Luckily they have Wind Walk and Mirror Image to help get out of danger.
* HitAndRunTactics: The main strategy of the Blademaster is to run or sneak into the enemy's midst, wreak havoc with its high damage, and then escape before the enemy can successfully counter.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: The Blademaster's sword is Japanese-styled, going with their {{Samurai}} motif.

Now wielding both, the Paladins, armed with mighty warhammers and unshakable faith, defend their kingdom and the innocent from all manner of threats. They can heal their allies and burn undead foes with Holy Light, make themselves invulnerable with Divine Shield, and provide extra armor for their allies with Devotion Aura. Their ultimate ability, Resurrection, brings 6 allied units back to life, enabling them to turn the tide of battle when all hope seems lost.

* DropTheHammer: Wields a massive two-handed hammer.
* HolyBurnsEvil: Holy Light can heal living allies, but it can also damage undead enemies. This is quite useful in the Human campaign, since the undead are the main enemies for most of it.
* MightyGlacier: Slow moving and generally focused on defense.
* NighInvulnerable: Can become this with Divine Shield, which when fully upgraded lasts for ''45 seconds.''

The high elves of Quel'Thalas were all but wiped out when the Scourge invaded, seeking the power of their sacred Sunwell. Driven to seek new sources of magic, the Blood Mages turned to the fel, augmenting their already considerable magics with demonic power which they use in their ruthless quest to avenge their fallen people. They can call pillars of flames with Flame Strike, steal enemies' mana with Siphon Mana, and render enemies unable to attack with Banish. Their ultimate ability, Phoenix, summons a magical bird of fire that burns all enemies and itself over time; when it dies, it can be reborn from its egg.

* KillItWithFire: Flame Strike is a signature ability, and they have 3 orbs of felfire hanging above them at all times.

Archmages hail from the [[TheMagocracy magical kingdom of Dalaran]], and use their magical powers to defend humanity from all external threats. Mounted on horseback, they can move quickly. They can bolster their armies with hulking Water Elementals, rain terror down upon their foes with Blizzard, and support allied spellcasters and heroes with Brilliance Aura. Their ultimate ability, Mass Teleport, allows them to quickly teleport large numbers of troops to friendly units or buildings, providing for a quick retreat or rendering aid to allies under attack.

Added DiffLines:

In ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'', Heroes are the main leaders of the armies and have their own abilities, personalities, and voice lines. Unlike in ''Warcraft II'', they are not simply upgraded versions of regular units.

In ''Reign of Chaos'', each race has 3 heroes, with a 4th added in ''The Frozen Throne''; they are summoned by a special Altar building[[note]]Altar of Kings for humans; Altar of Elders for night elves; Altar of Storms for orcs; and Altar of Darkness for undead[[/note]]. Additionally, ''Frozen Throne'' introduced a number of neutral heroes that can be hired from Mercenary Camps. The first hero costs nothing other than food; subsequent heroes can be summoned once the player's main Town Hall building is upgraded a second and third time, but will cost considerable resources. Heroes are classified as Cunning heroes (main stat is Agility), Warrior heroes (main stat is Strength), or Mystical heroes (main stat is Intelligence).
