This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Vrykul article.

Alignment

Hey, the phrase was Most disturbing of all, what if they aligned with the Lich King? not that they were aligned with the Lich King O_o I bet they are more aligned to the blue dragons and the Dragonblight rather thant to the Scourge (and all the Scourge must to be undead, and vrykuls aren't undead). And, possibly enough, they are enraged with all the ppl who recently invaded their homes at Northrend, and that includes as enemies either Horde, Aliance and Scourge. -- Ravenore, the Necroshadowmancer 21:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where you got that one from, but anyway from the official FAQ: "Utgarde is inhabited by the Vrykul, a Viking-like race bent on proving their strength to the Lich King, who will raise the most worthy of their warriors to serve him beyond the grave"[1]. I'm pretty sure that's equal to saying "The Vrykul serve the Lich King". Do you have any sources for information about any other alliances that these people may have?

and all the Scourge must to be undead, and vrykuls aren't undead

Not true! There are the Death Knights, Necromancers, Acolytes, And Dreadlords that aren't undead.But at least half of the world of warcraft users are undead (Come on its pretty hard not to die in your entire time of playing that game) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The last Alterac (talk · contr).

Necromancers

Just a thought but do you think the Vrykul could be necromancers? Necromancers (All that have the real necromancer model such as Gothik the Harvester) have animal bones, big beards, and are slightly bigger than a human, and the Vrykul serve the lich king... it's just a thought but I saw all the similarities and thought it was worth putting here. Cabeza

They've been said to be a barbaric, Viking-like half giant race. Giants aren't particularly adept in -any- kind of magic, so I doubt that Vrykul are Necromantic in any way. --Yaki 21:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Well one guy Keleseth is a warlock, so maybe the LK taught them magic. Mr.X8 17:13, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Whitey

Screenshots (Like of the burning forest) and the trailer (@ 2:33) show that they have pale white drakes serving them. What is their deal?--SWM2448 21:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Howling Fjord Burning

Thems.

NEW INFO! They are refered to as 'protodragons'.--SWM2448 19:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I Think they are plagued dragons, like the Netherwing but Northrend ish and gone all white. --Snorkyorky 18:05 16 September 2007 (GMT)
Where you found this info?--FireMaster 02:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I forget, but it was confirmed.--SWM2448 22:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I think the name "Proto-Dragon" is pretty self-explanatory. They're probably the dragon species before the titans divided them up into aspects. Toasty McGrath 01:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Half-Giants?

Perhaps half Storm Giant? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pwnerpwner (talk · contr).

I prefer to think of it as 'Ooh, giant boulder, you looking very sexy tonight'.--SWM2448 19:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah what other half are they? Half giant and half what, human? Or maybe arthas had a relationship with a giant. Course, that's creepy and I don't Blizzard would put that in WoW Mr.X8 17:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think they mean half-giants in the sense that they aren't as big as other giants...?
Giant Vampiric Vikings?! They're the worst kind! --Adonzo 01:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

i personally can't imagine giants have a relationship with other than ogres :P humans and giants? neveh --lucifersama 11:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they are half-giants like how there are demi-gods. They aren't really giants, but they aren't really humans like how demi-gods are not really divine but not earthly. Rannulf 02:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Vampiric

How are these guys vampiric?Mr.X8 00:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. The game is not freakin' out yet. They drink blood?--SWM2448 00:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

i think they simply mean blood lust, or living on other creatures blood, the kind "i drink ur blood i get ur power" theory. --lucifersama 11:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

A Vampiric Race...

Perhaps a connection to Sargeras? After all, he was defeated in Northrend. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pwnerpwner (talk · contr).

Wouldn't be too surprising, the lore is a bit sketchy on how long it took Aegewyn to move his body from Northrend to a tomb in the middle of the ocean, perhaps some primitive race got too close and became mutated into the Vrykul by residual energy.Xlel 03:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Half-Breeds

Why are they listed under half-breeds. I thought the half giant thing was just a rumor.  IconSmall HighElf Male Mr.X8 Talk Contribs 23:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not a rumor if its stated specifically on the official WOTLK site.Baggins 01:23, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
They are the breed of Giants with who?--User:FireMaster/Sig1 17:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


Civilization?

The article states that they once had a "prosperous" civilization, but disappeared mysteriously, and have only recently reappeared. If this is true, during what time period did they prosper? As far as we knew history went: Old Gods-Titans-Dragons-Trolls-Night Elves, then the war of the ancients splits the continents and leads up to human / high elf development and the first war. Xlel 22:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe during the time after the War of the Ancients and sometime in that 10 thousand years their civilization disappeared. Leviathon 01:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
