Also alpaca and hyenas.
They wouldnât be reptiles anymore after this âevolutionâ, though.

Naw man, they lay eggs⌠with their mouths, like Piccolo.
Cold blooded fiends, all.
Itâs my standing hypothesis that titan influence gravitates to a universal titan-like default in the image of the Makers themselves; mostly five fingered, mammalian, with a recognisably titanoid facial structure. Trolls, draenei and pandaren are examples of such uplifted native fauna.
Thus the trolls were molded from reptilian beasts into people and Azerothâs own influence via the well of eternity made trolls refined into even more titan-resembling elves.
Elves are, however, demonstrably susceptible to influence, addiction and mutation by different magics. Something to consider. This might be a trait going back to the original trolls as the zandalari soaked up enough ambient loa power to get glowing eyes.
As an aside, originally artificial beings like humans look like titans because titans made war machines in their own image that were corrupted. Itâs its own developmental path and these races are uniquely vulnerable to the influence of the Old Gods via the curse of flesh.

Not really a headcanon, more of a hypothesis:
We see A lot of Triangles and triangle like shapes within Vulpera culture, examples being the Voldunai and vulpera tabard. So my Hypothesis is the the Vulpera Written language is composed of triangle like shapes that represent different things.
Example, the shape on the Voldunai banner may mean something like âFreedomâ .
Edit, now I think about it, this is kind of hilarious, imagine an Alliance officer getting a death threat on a note from a Vulpera but its just a bunch of triangles and the Alliance officer is just like âWhat the hell is this supposed to mean?â

Vulpera are one of the richest races on Azeroth in theory. Over the years they have found large amounts of Zandalari gold and treasures, abandoned after Volâdun became a desert. Theyâve since hidden the treasures in stashes all over the place.
The issue is that no single Vulpera knows where even half of these stashes are anymore.

Similiar to this, Pandaria as a Sovereign Nation is the most economical stable faction of Azeroth, thanks to their strong agriculture, trading to both Alliance and Horde aswell as the Tolâvir of Uldum
Gnomes have a denser muscle mass due to their Mechagnome ancestry and have rabid chimp strength.

I imagine Pandaria doesnât trade as much as one might think, actually. They always struck me as a people fully content with what they have.
Maraad points out in The Untamed Valley story that Velen is working on strengthening ties between the Draenei and the Pandaren after the war was over. He spent a lot of time post-Siege in Pandaria cultivating relationships.

Locus Walker is a void lord in disguise whoâs playing the long and slow game to steadily corrupt people by teaching them about how cool+easy to control the void is and then moving on when inevitably an entire planet falls to corruption.
Heâs had to tone down his power level to access our reality and most void lords arenât willing to do so which is why thereâs just him.

Maybe they once had a âcuneiformâ script (which is sort of, triangles with tails arrayed in different ways) and eventually the wedges lost their tails, so now their script is entirely made with triangular imprints.
Do the Vulpera have a written language canonically? Itâs been a while since I was questing in Volâdun. I like this headcanon either way.
They have a spoken language according to leaks, so I donât see why they wouldnât have a written one.
my headcanon is that locus walker is the senator Armstrong of the void lords so i agree with your thesis
The transition from one to the other is surprisingly rare. As a nomadic people I sort of imagine the Vulpera being more about oral histories - and songs about their alpacas.
Itâs also possible they write in whatever script their neighbors use (Zandalari or Sethrak) and have nothing unique to themselves. Either way, if no lore says one way or the other, headcanon is valid!

We know that Vulpera do write, and that Nisha apparently has her own secret codes (potentially implying that the Sethrak have a shared written alphabet? since otherwise they might be able to read it).
