Notes on Draenei Biology. By Charlzie Darwinkle

Return to RP Stories

There is a good reason to believe that Draenei evolved from an even-toed ungulate mammal the same way I believe that humans evolved from apelike primates. Draenei are omnivores, capable of either eating meat or plant foods. They are intelligent, long-lived and seldom troubled with disease.

They have a variety of skin tones, from ivory, aqua blue, dark blue, purple, and ebony. Their blood is blue. It may use cobalt as its oxygen-binding element, compared to Azeroth-native life, which uses iron.

Adult males are very powerful and muscular with large tails and strong hooves. The females are more slender and graceful (I find most of them very attractive in an exotic sort of way).

Baby draenei (I call them fawns) are born without horns, but they start to develop soon after birth. I assume that in the first twenty minutes of the fawn's life, the fawn begins to take its first steps just like the offspring of most even-toed ungulate mammals do.

Of course I've never gotten close enough to a birth to confirm it but I am a respected scientist so just trust me on this one.
