Racial abilities Edit

Most likely to change. Inner Peace and Quaking Palm look like short-timers in their current form.

Racial traits
[Epicurean]	Your love of food allows you to receive double the stats from Well Fed effects.*
[Gourmand]	Your Cooking skill is increased by 15.
[Inner Peace]	Your rested experience bonus lasts twice as long as normal.**
[Bouncy]	You take half falling damage.
[Quaking Palm]	Strikes the target with lightning speed, incapacitating them for 4 sec, and turns off your attack.***

Choose your faction Edit

All pandaren players start as Neutral at the starting zone of the Wandering Isle.

At around level 10, after completing a starting zone quest chain, players will encounter the quest  [12] A New Fate where they must choose to join either the Pandaren or the Pandaren.

Alliance Edit

The leader of this group of pandaren is  Aysa Cloudsinger and she will instruct you in the way of Tushui through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction.

Horde Edit

The leader of this group of pandaren is  Ji Firepaw and he will drive you in the outgoing, passionate way of Huojin, believing inaction is the greatest injustice.

Media Edit

Mounts Edit

The pandaren racial ground mount was confirmed to be a dragon turtle on May 23, 2012 via an official blog.^[1] The flying mount is not confirmed, but presumed to be a [Pandaren Kite].

Mount speculation Edit

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

• Blizzplanet speculated that a new goat-like creature called the shaghorn might be the new pandaren mount.^[2]
• The appearance of a large yak in a preview images^[3][4] and confirmation via twitter by Bashiok^[5] that this would be a mount in Mists of Pandaria has led some to believe this will be the Pandaren racial mount. Unfortunately, they were confirmed by blue post to not be the pandaren racial mount.^[6]

Notes Edit

• You can't friend a Pandaren character until after they have chosen a faction.^[7]
• The pandaren were originally intended to be the Alliance race for the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion, but it was felt that the draenei were a better fit for the storyline.^[8]
• As of early 2012, there was a rumor that the actor Jack Black was signed on to perform the voice of the male Pandaren^{[citation needed]} (he is known for his role as Po in the animated movie, Kung Fu Panda), but that was already ruled out by Chris Metzen at BlizzCon 2011.^[9]
