Besides the Legion allied races, Azeron has six more races to play: the Haranir, Mag'har, Vulpera and Zandalari for the Horde, and the Dark Iron Dwarves and Kul Tirans for the Alliance. There is no recruitment: the races unlock as soon as your account has a level 110 character. An overview of all races is in the Allied races guide.
How to unlock
- You need the "Level 110" achievement on your account: a single character of any race and faction that has reached level 110 is enough.
- After that all six races become active on the creation screen, for both the Horde and the Alliance.
- A new character starts at level 20 in the embassy: Horde races next to the ambassador in Orgrimmar, Alliance races next to the ambassador in Stormwind. They already wear a level 20 set and have four bags and a Hearthstone.
- You can change race to one of these only if it is already unlocked on your account.
| Race | Faction | Classes | Language |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haranir | Horde | Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Monk, Druid | Orcish |
| Mag'har Orcs | Horde | Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Monk | Orcish |
| Vulpera | Horde | Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Monk | Orcish and Vulpera |
| Zandalari Trolls | Horde | Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Monk, Druid | Orcish and Zandali |
| Dark Iron Dwarves | Alliance | Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Monk | Common and Dwarvish |
| Kul Tirans | Alliance | Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Monk, Druid | Common |
Hunters of each of these races start with their own pet: Haranir and Zandalari with a raptor, Mag'har with a wolf, Vulpera with a snake, Dark Iron Dwarves with a dog and Kul Tirans with a mastiff. Zandalari Druids take troll shapeshift forms.

- Lash Out: critical strikes and critical heals are 3% stronger.
- One With Nature: Herbalism +15 and faster herb gathering.

Good to know

- They get quests and gear on equal terms with the other allied races of their faction.
