Can we get Pandaren druid? Pandarens can be horde and alliance, so no need to compensate with 2 races.
Bear form - Looks like a real panda
Cat form - Tiger
Travel form - Crane (flight), Ox (Ground), Fish (water)
Moonkin - feathered panda, in a hat? I dunno for this one, but I always thought Pandarens suited being a druid.
Chi jis philosophy is heavily similar to that of the Light, and his temple has armoured guardians. If trolls can be paladins because they worship a t rex Loa whom is about being kingly, why can’t Pandas whom worship a bird that is about hope and frequently associated with the dawn?
Pandaren have a connection with the celestials in the same way nelf have with the ancients.
Note nelf druids shapeshift into animal forms that resemble these ancients (ursoc and ursol, shadumbra, that other ashamane, avianna) so it makes sense if pandaren became druids they’d shift based upon those they interact with.
The ox represents tenacity so bear form is a perfect fit.
Xuen is power and strength, therefore cat form.
Yulon is wisdom, therefore boomkin.
The odd one out is chi ji, as always. Because Resto doesn’t have a permanent shapeshift. If they did chi ji would be a perfect fit, but at least travel form is used a lot so he can have that rather than being hidden behind a talent pick in ToL.
They have no history for it, but honestly with the pandaren focus of having a balanced mind, they might okay new recruits for druids. If it would be explained that way.
It would make more sense than kulthiran or vulpera druids anyway
