If you look at Elemental models, many (if not all - I can't check right now) sport three fingers. Trolls and Tauren are the only player models that sport three fingers, and their origins are still fairly murky. What we do know is that they predate the current version of Azeroth...i.e. when the Elementals ruled.

Doubtful, as naga are humanoid and flamewalkers are elemental (I think) what is VERY interesting is that a night elf corrupted by old gods gives you naga, but a NE corrupted by the burning leigon/fel energies gives you a Satyr who can actually be redeemed back to an elf!

Satyr can be redeemed? Seriously? When did this happen, I'd love to see!

@deathknighty

Go quest out the new Ashenvale. Look for a satyr named Avrus Illwhisper.

Where do the extra legs go? O.o

@Jihily (Probably didn't spell that right)

You're confusing Satyr with Centaur. Centaur's have four legs, Satyr only have two. But they're red devils, so that makes up for the lack of four legs!

Er...to connect my last comment with the OP, I wonder if, like the Flamewakers to Ragnaros, the Trolls were to Neptulon, and the Tauren were to Therazane.

We already know the Old Gods can turn stone, metal, and even robotic constructs into flesh. Surely they could do the same with other elements, right?

ever notice how much Flamewakers look just like Draenei from the neck up?

That's it someone connect Kevin Bacon to WoW somehow.

WoW -> Jay Mohr (blizzcon) -> Helen Hunt (Pay it Forward) -> Bill Paxton (Twister) -> Kevin Bacon (Apollo 13).

I has win?
