Heyo,
So, I was thinking to myself, like I often seem to before writing an odd out of the blue post, but out of curiosity, which of the warcraft races could conceive a child together. I wouldn't ever want to roll one, but I'm still curious about it. (Anyone who makes a gnome-tauren joke will be prodded in the eye, you have been warned!)
Now, after some research, I found these few being the only ones that are specifically in lore, and the warcraft games.
Half human - Half high-blood elf
Half human - Half orc
Half Human - Half dwarf
Half Dwarf - Half gnome
Half Orc - Half draenei
Half Orc - Half ...ogre!?
So, after some theory-crafting, I think you could safely assume that human's, dwarves and gnomes could theoretically (If not all that easilly) do this.
I imagine the elves of all forms could, such as a half night elf, half blood elf, though the odds of this ever happening are practically zero.
With the elves and trolls all sharing a common descendant, it's possible that trolls and elves could also do so.
Undead cannot procreate at all, so they are factored out, and I believe that tauren are far to separate from the other warcraft races for them to be able to manage also.
Confused me that orc's and draenei could, as well as orc's and humans, as they all originate from different worlds, though if humans can with orcs, and Draenei can with orc's, it could potentially be possible for a human and a draenei to also.
Very few of these are very likely to ever ever happen, which im quite glad of, but what does everyone think? Anything I missed, anything you disagree on? Friendly discussion, go!
