I would agree except personally, I think their face got hit with the ugly bat really hard....like point blank. Theres only 1 face that looks decent. The others are hideous to me.

My first character in WoW was a female orc. However, then I learned the awesomeness that is a troll wimmin.

Female orcs have a few good faces. Don't complain about one decent face unless it's about us poor female trolls that all have the one "pretty" face. =(

There's actually quite a few female Orc faces I like. As for Trolls, I tend to use the angry one instead of the 'pretty' one that everyone usually picks. :) I like my trolls to look savage. >:3

The Female trolls have that too. And no, I've only found 1 semi-ok face on the orcs. The rest make them look like an old raging hag to me. D:

See I use that face because I'm not the biggest fan of savage trolls, I think my huntress would be young and vibrant. The whole story I have going (in my head) is that her and her best friend grow up together and one is off to be a Hunter and the other a Druid. <3

Not to be a nitpicker, but this is more gender dimorphism than sexual dimorphism. Unless we're talking more about the (perceived) sexuality of male Blood Elves...

Personally, as a Troll, Draenei, Orc or Tauren, I would find it odd that my females look so different than myself, yet all appear to be the same race...If I were straight. :P

Incidentally, I much prefer the leg animation on Alpha Tauren than as they are now. I think Tauren should use bipedal unguligrade locomotion like the Draenei.

Well, sexual dimorphism is the correct term. I suppose one could use gender dimorphism as a synonym.
Sexual dimorphism is the systematic difference in form between individuals of different sex in the same species. Examples include colour, size, and the presence or absence of parts of the body used in courtship displays or fights, such as ornamental feathers, horns, antlers, or tusks.

Er, what is that? Is there a video of the alpha animation?

Found an old video of the female troll's walking animations in Alpha wow, couldn't find the tauren though.

Cool vid. I wish it was clearer though -- the Alpha female trolls looked pretty cool, and much closer to their male counterparts.

I still think the alpha female trolls could fit as forest troll females perfectly. :S

Basically, Dreanei move like Protoss from StarCraft because their legs bend backward. Tauren do, too. Yet, they move like every other race. It's a slight incongruity that grinds on my nerves. It's not game-breaking and will probably stay the way it is...Still, it would be cool.

Hooved legs dont bend backwards. Just thought I'd put that out there. So their current walking animation is biologically correct and personally, I like it. I find it very attractive.
