-There is some evidence that there are or may have once been [[High elf|high elven]], [[half-elf|half-elven]] and [[blood elven]] [[druid]]s. In the [[Warcraft II]] manual they are referred as '''Elven Druid''', while the other sources do not give them a name.

-The Warcraft II manual indicates that the [[Runestone]] in [[Caer Darrow]] was placed there by "Elven Druids".<ref>''[[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness]]'' manual, "Places of Mystery": 32. "The Runestone was an ancient monolith erected by the Elven Druids and inscribed with powerful runes of protection and warding."</ref> These druids are not referred to anywhere else in the game or the manual, and all references to this Runestone in the manual describe its power as either "Elven magik" or "arcane".  Since the [[night elf|night elves]] and their druids were not added into the lore until the introduction of [[Warcraft III]], it is unclear if these elven druids have any similarities to the night elf druids beyond a coincidence of name.

-The [[Warcraft Encyclopedia]] states that "Elven [[mage|magi]]" created the Runestones that surround [[Quel'Thalas]].<ref>{{ref web|url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/429.xml|title=High Elves|work=The [[Warcraft Encyclopedia]]|quote=Elven magi crafted monolithic Runestones along the borders of Quel'Thalas; these massive stones powered a magical shield intended to mask the elves' magic from extra-dimensional threats and protect the land from invasion.}}</ref> This seems to conflict with Warcraft II manual's account that those Runestones are created by "Elven Druids".

-In the [[Botanica]] wing of [[Tempest Keep]], several of [[Kael'Thas]]'s blood elves use abilities that are similar to the [[Druid talents#Restoration|Restoration]] skills of the [[druid]] class, though they are never referred to as "druids."  Most notably of these elves is [[Botanist|High Botanist]] [[High Botanist Freywinn|Freywinn]], who is seen wearing what appears to be the shoulder armor and robes of the [[tier 1]] [[armor set]] for druids, the [[Cenarion Raiment]].  Following encounter with Freywinn, the theme of the instance becomes increasingly [[arcane]] and [[fel|corrupt]], with  [[satyr]]s, [[Sunseeker Gene-Splicer|gene-splicers]], and [[Mutate Fleshlasher|mutate fleshlashers]], which seem to be named after the [[lasher]], a common plant mob.<ref name=botanica>{{ref game|title=World of Warcraft|expansion=[[The Burning Crusade]]|zone=[[Botanica]]}}</ref> The degenerative nature of the instance hints that the blood elves in Botanica are not utilizing druidic practices, but corrupting the plants by other means, such as the [[ancient]] [[Warp Splinter]] who has apparently been corrupted by [[arcane]] magic.<ref>{{Quest|Wanted: A Warp Splinter Clipping}}</ref>
