If you actually follow the link to the original article, there's a picture at the bottom of the Tauren hunter in question, and it's pretty clear that it's a Tauren even though it's not a very good picture. The obscured figure is something else.

Go to the link, it is def a Tauren with a gun.

The 'thing' behind the succubus is NOT a tauren. Yes, there is a tauren with a gun, but look at the 'things' toes. Yes, toes. Tauren do not have toes. =) I'm leaning toward furlbog, myself.

If you look at the hogger pick you can see the succubus's wing and of course the back of the other figure... it looks wrinkly like a walrus.. also you can see how broad it's back is and that it's wearing a tuxedoish jacket (furbolgs only wear beads)...

RULING= TUSKAR

You very well could be right on the Tuskarr. However, from the pictures I've seen thus far from WotLK, etc., the Tuskarr don't posses toes, either, but 'flippers' of sorts. Also, Tuskarr don't appear to wear 'tuxedos' either, which is also a very valid point for furlbogs.

One thing I have noticed though: Since the character is reared back to throw his spear, his face would be closer to the 'right', which would put it right about even level with the succubus boobie. From what I see, that looks like a furlbog face to me. I could still be completely wrong, but that's what it looks like to me. =)
