Who are the Tauren?

The Tauren are a people of hunters and shamans who roam the plains of Kalimdor and honor the Earth Mother. For generations they were harried by the centaur, until the Orcs helped them win a homeland in Mulgore.

Since then they have stood with the Horde. They are slow to anger and quick to protect the land, and they were among the first to learn the ways of the druid from the demigod Cenarius.

Which class should a Tauren play?

Druid is the most Tauren class of all. On the Horde side only Tauren and the new Windshapers can play one, and a Tauren who heals, tanks and fights in animal form is a character many players remember fondly.

Shaman is just as close to their culture, calling on the elements their elders taught them. Warrior makes the most of their size, and Hunter pairs them with a beast from the plains.

Pick the one you want to play for a long time, on the Horde side.
