Upright Trolls in the Shadowlands

Hello everyone
As i title, Do you know if blizzard want to add an option to make regular trolls upright?

How would this even work? Male trolls are the tallest palyable race by far. If they were to stand upright, they’d probably tower over all the other tall races by at least a meter. Have fun getting stuck on doors.

I don’t see it.

One of the distinguished features of Zandalari is their upright posture from normal trolls. This is canon lore. To have trolls suddenly all stand tall contradicts this lore and retcons one of the reasons Zandalari came to see themselves are superior.

It would also reduce some of the distinction between the two, and essentially make them akin to LfD and Draenei style differences (tattoos, eyes, hair) whereas at current they look wildly different from each other due to posture alone.

Can’t see it happening. Maybe if Zandalari weren’t an AR, but given they are, doubtful.

Haven’t seen any indication of that happening. Don’t even know if it’s happening for undead who’s had a model for it through BfA, but here’s hoping (and before anyone gets started, yes I’ve heard they don’t have a full set of animations). I agree with Paxmillian, it doesn’t seem too likely getting straightened trolls, as that is indeed one of the “unique” things about the Zandalari.

upright trolls are called zandalaari and they have been ingame since bfa

As warlocks ?

No but there is a different topic about removing class/race restrictions for that, nonetheless upright trolls are already a thing

Zandalari raise of the eyebrow

Raising your eyebrow doesn’t exactly make you shorter you know, do you really want to crash into that doorway?

Point is that Zandy Trolls aren’t having any problems, so no idea where this idea is coming from that they’d be getting stuck in doorways.

As much as I want them to have straight backs. They’ll be taller than Taurens, and we know that Taurens are the player cap height.

Zandalari don’t have issues because they are shorter than darkspeer trolls. It’s that simple.

Take a look back at the end of SoO cinematic sometime. You can see that Voljin, while crouching and leaning forward, is about the same height as Thrall. Standing upright, Voljin would be about 50% taller than the Orc
