Considering the human starting zone quests I'm surprised hunger isn't on the list. The amount of food quests is ridiculous haha

Pretty accurate depiction of what happened to hogger during the first week of classic.

did he just waterboard hogger, thats defenetley new

Let me get this straight, Barathen Wrynn fought gnolls. And his grandson and great-grandson, Varian and Anduin, were/are fighting the Legion, Lich King, and Old Gods. Respect your elders my ass.

You forgot to mention the powerful Darkness that the Kobolds fear, the reason they have those candles is not just to light their way but to keep the Darkness away from them, this is why you see Betrayal a Hearthstone card with a kobold blowing out another one's candle.

15 years on, the Gnomes haven't taken Gnomregon back....

Somewhere i have read that if the gnolls werent constantly fighting amongst each other,they would actually be a powerful enemy to the alliance

Murlocs might not be cannibals but they definitely eat other humanoids. Remember finding the chewed up chunks of Footman Malakai in Elwynn Forest? Also, if you’re into creepy stuff in classic, the gnoll tents are made out of people. Look hard enough and you’ll see one of the tent models has a face.

1:42 “But never to a full-blown threat” Kobolds in Hearthstone literally resurrected Galakrond

"Murlocs, but more terrifying." Sir, I prefer to *not* have to panic that something more terrifying than a murloc exists, even if in fiction.

WoW summed it up best when they had some mobs repeatedly say: "Kill you! Take your things." it perfectly describes every players purpose in the game. Kill anything that crosses your path then check the corpse for any valuables.

Have you heard the theory that Hogger is still alive? Cata retconned him into being captured not killed and taken to the stockades. He then broke out and was killed. But then at the start of BFA when the horde break into the stockades He's still there... except it turns out it was actually just someone in a costume [the cosplay winner from blizzcon]. Elwynn Forest was merely a setback.

"No plushies were harmed in the making of this video"

These videos make me feel a lot better about my murder rampage through Azeroth. Thanks for great content

As someone who is currently leveling through Azeroth, I would like to, respectfully, demand more 'Dungeon Dives' - please and thank you. Anywho, great video, as per ush'.

The Murlocs where rapping I want to hear more of that.

The lack of Gnomish representation in the intro sequence is deeply, deeply... appreciated

oh man. blast from the past with that Myndflame Murloc track

I really, really enjoy your videos on Classic WoW, Platty ! Since I started watching them, I have learned a lot about Classic lore, which I sadly didn't while playing my Nightelf Druid in Classic. Keep it up ! For the Alliance !

Excellent work, Platinum. Thanks for this.

The "So...uh yeah, they're pretty stupid" part killed me 😂

Been looking forward to this one for ages!!

Missed the reason the kobolds have candles in the first place. They are very superstitious and afraid of the Darkness. The Darkness is likely what they call shades they find while digging but it could also just be the absence of light

man your vids just keep getting better

Those punches on that Hogger plush were *personal*

Ahhhh that amazing trumpet music from the barrens and the badlands.

Interesting facts about each race: 1) Kobolts. Kobolts Mages have magic Candles on their head. It seems that their Earwax actually contains some form of Mana ... as weird as that is. 2) Gnolls. If you look at the tents of the Gnolls you may see a special one. With a human face sewn in. Yes they make their tents from the creatures they slay ... ALL creatures, including humans. 3) Trogs. Trogs have a special resistance to Poison damage in many cases. This is the reason why they are resistant, if not immune to the radiation of Gnomeregan. 4) Murlocs. Similarly to Ogres, the most powerfull Murloc Casters also tend to have a mutation, which turns their skin white. While the strongest Warriors have a mutation which turns their skin darker. Murlocs are also one of the few races, that actually retain their free will, if they are resurected as undead.

I've just discovered this channel and I'm throughly enjoying it. Even though I already knew like 80% of this lore, it's still a blast to learn something new and the humor is pretty good :D

I think it was Cataclysm that mentioned that part of the reason Troggs were considered a failure was because they ate rocks which means they ate each other and caused a ton of damage to any Titan facility they infested. They even managed to get into Deepholm and spread like a plague.

Another hilarious video Platinum. I don’t even play wow but your videos are so entertaining that it doesnt matter

your videos keep me thoroughly entertained, i truly lost it when you waterboarded your hogger plushie

Well kobolds fight the darkness (Void..aka the end of all things) with there candles..so You NO TAKE CANDLE!

Been waiting for this episode for a minute

Thank you for making this video. I really enjoy learning more about the smaller races, such as the Gnolls which are my favorite. Their design has the perfect blend of Warcraft brutishness and animal cartoon mascot that I can't not love them. And thank you for featuring my artwork at 3:35. I was developing a mad max inspired scrap yard dwelling pack of Gnolls and planned to feature some concept art of them as a "fan pitch" for an allied race, but when the Mecha Gnomes got announced I decided to not explore the theme any further. I still think they have the potential to me made playable if the devs decide to include them in a "classic throwback" allied race pack, along with Murlocks for the Alliance I imagine.

I really enjoy these man.

I just found this channel and never subbed so fast. The video was amazing!

This type of videos is by far my favorite on this channel ^-^

I would've liked you to talk about how the kobolds are mining ore for the defias brotherhoods war effort. They themselves might be a minor pest, but they actively contribute to the potential destruction of Stormwind until VanCleef was stopped.

i do be lovin murlocs doe, ive always wanted to play as a Murloc. Imagine being the Murloc Death Knight Mrggglerrrgrgr, who fell at the hands of some adventurer in the Borean Tundra. Murloc in full plate with a two hander? Yes please.

Super Funny vid keep up the good job

Dude I love the Illegal Danish reference with the murlocs

2:32 Now all we need is a couch and we would have ourselves an *interesting* movie.

Just wanted to say, I love your vids and keep it up, brother.

amo tus videos!! como es que nunca los descubri antes

That murloc song takes me back and for some weird reason I just want to buy murloc merchandise.

murlocs sounds like they are constantly being water boarded

Keep it up dude, you are hilarious

Good work man that part with trogs made almost spit my drink XD

oh man I haven't heard that Illegal Danish music in years!...

I like this, instant like and sub

The most expensive thing in WoW is a 1st blizzcon code for Murky. Let that sink in.

I still don’t understand why we are killing Kobolds. Even though as you said they are pretty stupid, they clearly at least know some basic common language, enough to say “you no take candle,” which is more than other races. I’d imagine some sort of arrangement for peace could be made by just offering them lights/ lanters/ waxes. I mean, they were there first and the Alliance kinda just came into thier dwellings to use as mines and clean out!

“Kobolds are known to breed like rabbits..” now there’s a mental image I didn’t want...

Haven't heard that Myndflame song in ages

best classic content on youtube

Best WoW Classic content creator

Kobolds, Gnolls, Troggs, and Murlocs... the Axis of Awful shall rise again!

Just ONE mistake, Murlocs are Gorlocs that left the Sholazar Basin and not the other way around.

i have been playing wow since vanilla, and created so many human chars i can even remmeber, and yet STILL the kobold being eaten by spiders didnt hit me untill you excplicitely mentioned it, so good job! this game has a LOT of horrific things that you dont really notice cus of the ccartoony look, yet if you stop for a second and take a good look at the enviroment and what people actually sayu and read between the lines, you wil lstart seeing them which is awesome

Been wanting my own murloc since 2005

Ah the murloc song...takes me back

6:45 Holy shit, the nostalgia that just hit me

I need the murloc song as my ring tone

im surprised you didnt mention the devouring darkness when speaking of kobolds, such a cool part of their lore

I figure lots of Alliance fight kobolds out of candle jealousy. And Troggs just because they're upset that Troggs are smarter and prettier. Murlocs, too, but that's a given.

I'm so glad that Gnoll Plushie clip exists because if someone hadn't done that before I was going to

My dude busted out the “enhanced interrogation” on hogger 😂

Best Wow content creator!!

One great video while I have to be at home because of covid-19

I wasn't expecting you did beat the ever loving hell out of a stuffed version of Hogger and then waterboard and run him over. Shit had me creasing with laughter XD

Myndflame, now thats a nostalgia hit

Man I have that murloc hoodie and I fucking love it

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

I appreciate your familiarity with the work of HP Lovecraft. There are many hints of it in the WOW lore.

Platinum, you make that good shit.

6:58 *YOU THINK WE WOULDN'T NOTICE?!*

i need that murloc mix

Is there really a murloc themed song????? Loved the one that played!

That part with Hogger was to good lmao

oh gods... my flight response got triggered hearing the Murlocs.

I can't believe you'd do that to that adorable Hogger plush! He deserves better!

The only thing murlocs don't have at this point is a playable race. "Still waiting"

Great video! More dungeon lore please, and make it serious and in-depth, thanks.

3 mins ago this has never happened in my life

great, Jinyu, yet another allied race we'll never get

lmao the murlocs song

5:44 when he explains the difference between Troggs and the Earthen who fell to the curse of flesh. Lol

I fucking loved the hogger part I didn't expect you to fucking water board him couldn't stop laughing

This kind of editing is so funny to watch

4:00-4:23 This is what PTSD from Hogger looks like kids. War is hell.

I want more!

Well fack. I thought Stormwind City was brand new. I mean, Probably it was because I played the map in WC3 which in the description, said that stormwind was in the making, after lorderon fell. Im pretty sure.

Gorlacs are the progenitors to the murlocs.

I never understood the merchandising of Murlocs, I played WoW during the earlier years from Vanilla to TLK and I am still scared of them whenever I think of all the shit they put me through. They always appear in packs and it is extremely easy to aggro additional Murlocs when you're fighting one as they have a huge aggro radius. I don't know about the current state of WoW, but in the earlier years, fighting more than one monster often means death, and it was so very important to keep the fight one on one. I remember Murlocs love to gang up.

your vids are perfect i love u

I was expecting him to say "Murlocs are the one race that players wanted to be able to level as, but never got (Aside from Tuskar)."

You no take candle!

Just a fun fact about gnolls, they use human skin for their tents which you can sometimes see the faces of if you look closely.

ah yes, I, venkleftis, the leader of kobolds. 1:31

fact that he waterboarded hogger is golden
