Humans

The noble humans of Stormwind stand at the forefront of the Alliance, battling the enemies of Azeroth.

The youngest and most numerous race of the Alliance, descendants of the ancient kingdom of Arathor. Stormwind, rebuilt after the First War, has become the heart of the Alliance. Humans don't live as long as elves and aren't as sturdy as dwarves — but their tenacity and versatility produce Azeroth's greatest heroes.

Models straight from the game client

The characters in the viewer use the same models and textures you'll see on the character creation screen: they're assembled from our game client's files. The classes' starting outfits come from there too.

If 3D doesn't start (an old device or a browser without WebGL), the race artwork is shown instead of the model.
