About Draka

So was she a green orc or mag’har? In the movie she’s brown skin but in Afterlives she has green skin.

Green. Just like Durotan and Orgrim.
They were all affected even if they didn’t drink the blood.

Or she’s just like Bluther.

Greenskin, they were infused with the blood.

They were not infused with the blood of Mannoroth.

It is as Zarao said, all orcs that weren’t quarantined for the Red Pox before the First War have green skin due to the exposure to the fel magics of warlocks and demons. Their skins just turned green at a slower rate than that of the demon blood drinkers like Grom and Blackhand.

I see. I guess then it’s just the typical case of Blizz not being able to decide what they want to do with the lore.

More or less. But the movie was explicitly stated to be non-canon from the start, so that’s not really playing into it.

More interesting question is why she has orc body in the world where everyone change their bodies?

That bothered me a bit too. They could at least make her a bit undead-ish. Like a bit of bone here and there…

I believe there was a discussion about it between other characters from Maldraxxus

Mograine: Baroness, your original night elf form was restored in the afterlife, was it not? Why abandon it for one akin to the naga?
Vashj: When I was kaldorei, I was but a handmaiden to my queen. Prized for my beauty, and little else. As a naga, I was recognized and rewarded for my cunning and resolve.
Vashj: But I could ask the same question for you. Why adopt the form of a feeble human, when so many stronger ones exist?
Mograine: This is the form I had when purging countless undead on Azeroth. But I suppose your point stands.
