The Krenka clan are a small centaur tribe found in the Barrens. Among the beliefs of the small Krenka tribe is that every animal in the Barrens has a "guiding spirit" that controls its actions and destiny. By venerating a guiding spirit, a tribe can gain the blessing of that guiding spirit. Although similar ideas appear in many tribal cultures, the Krenka take this to extremes, going so far as to construct elaborate idols and following various ceremonies aimed at pleasing the Barren's spirits.^{HPG 224}

The Krenka are easily identified for their bronze skin covered in garish and distinctive blue tattoos.

The Krenka were named after their eponym original Khan, Krenka, who was buried in a section of the Wailing Caverns, and due to a curse became an undead skeletal centaur.

They are likely the offspring of Cenarius born of his third bastardized son, "the centaur" (though that may only be Night Elf legend).^{HPG 25, 208}
