Different characteristics
Is the first bulletpoint differentiation between Silithid and Nerubian accurate? Some scorpids are labelled Silithid in the game and they are eight-legged. -- Cze
- You have a point, but I'm not sure being eight-legged is the only and definitive characteristic of an arachnoid. A scorpion-like insectoid generally always has a big, rear stinger appendage, whereas spider-like arachnoids never do (as far as I know). I think that makes the bullet-point still valid. -- Fandyllic
Excuse me, but I would like to repoort a link to here from Furbolg which doesn't work. I also think cockroaches are cute! Charred But Alive 13:02, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
- You refer to Bristelimb's links? --Nerub29 03:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Alingment
Why does this page sometimes use an "evil" adjetive to describe the Nerubians? Hordesupporter 13:34, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
- They are referred to as such several times, most notably in the manual for RoC. -_Ragestorm (talk · contr) 16:27, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
- Well... ok... I guess I can buy that... although I don't really believe the Nerubians are evil. Hordesupporter 18:26, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
- The Nerubians referred to in the RoC manual are the undead ones right? And those are evil...but the others...I may be mistaken though, I haven't read it in ages... --HEMA 18:31, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
- They are given the lawful evil alignment in the RPG as well. Has to do with their connection to the Old Gods. Thuss the rpg books, Brann or real world author material has them as evil as well.Baggins (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Faction?
I think rebel nerubians would be a perfect Northrend faction. They would start out hostile, and you would gain rep by killing their undead brethren throughout the contenent and doing things in the Azjol-Nerub zone/instance. They could also give out (for a fee) Ankheg mounts of varing colors. :)--Sandwichman2448 18:56, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
Um... while A good point, don't put that in the article just yet, and I still want Nerubains to become playable despite the difficultes. Hordesupporter 19:24, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
Inconclusion
Artistic and in-game images are inconclusive... What is ment here?--SWM2448 14:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Half of them show that they have spider biology, half show insect biology. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 17:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- When creture becomes humanoid the front legs become arms. 2 arms + 6 legs = 8 limbs like a spider. The 6 limbs they are using as legs is not like the six legs insects have.--SWM2448 17:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
middle leg is bent. look closer.--SWM2448 18:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
How is that not 8? Bears and furbolgs both have four limbs, they just use them differently. Same with spiders and nerubians, same number of limbs but two became arms.--SWM2448 18:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Generally speaking in real life many arachnids, have 10 appendages, not just 8, the last 2 being padipelps (something unique to arachnids, though corresponds to mandibles in other arthropods), some ending with claws... However the most important aspect of arachnids vs. insects is that spiders lack a thorax section, they have a head section and an abdomen. Insects have a head section, definable thorax, and abdomen. It seems to be the case with most images of nerubians, they lack a definable thorax section, much like spiders. Baggins 18:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- In addition to only have 2 sections of their body like arachnids. Nerubians also have 8 limbs, and what looks like two padipelps (now in blue) coming out of their face. That would make a total of 10 appendages, which is very Arachnid like, and not even close to an insect.Baggins 23:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I can go get you a better screenshot from in-game if that is the issue, :pBaggins 02:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
First will start with Warcraft III creeps page[[1]. These particular nerubians only seem to have 4 legs, and 2 arms, still only an abdomen and head section for their body. Cryptfiend page seems to show only 4 legs, but the discription text says they have 6 legs.[2]
Then of course in WoW they have all 6 legs like they should;
Conclusion? The models in Warcraft 3 were limited to 4 legs for graphic limitation reasons? ...and Sandwich can't count :p...Baggins 03:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Baggins 02:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I wish there was an Aqir image somewhere.--Nerub29 03:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
is this arguement over the amount of appendages or over there aracnid vs insect decent, cuz they spin webs. that totaly proves that they are spiders does it not
New Horde race?
I think they should be the new horde race for the Northrend expansion.Along with Ice Trolls,Tuskar,and Furbolg.What do you think?-Airiph 18:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Discuss this on Talk:Future race ideas, and i do not think the horde should get four races. :P--SWM2448 18:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Live one
The image in the infobox is unconfirmed. See its image talk.--SWM2448 16:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Malevolent sovereign line obviously not referring to the Scourge
- Yet the brooding evil of the fallen Nerubian empire and their malevolent sovereign have not forgotten Azeroth.
The line is clearly referring to the surviving Nerubians. It would not have been written vaguely if it was referring to the Scourge and Anub'arak or Arthas, who we already know have not forgotten Azeroth. Plus Metzen is clearly interested in revealing what happened to the rest of the empire. Adding Anub'arak there is just misleading. -- Raze 05:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
