Med'an comic1

A half-draenei is the offspring of one draenei parent or half-draenei and another species such as an orc.Template:Cite Brann believes that the half-draenei of orc descent show draenei featuresTemplate:Cite however Garona and Lantresor of the Blade, both confirmed as half-draenei, do not have pronounced draenei features (she has shiny eys, and her son has spines on his chin). Half-orc half-draenei is the full name to describe the race when one half-orc and other half-draenei. Half-draenei is the short form. Orc-draenei half-breed is another way of describing this combination.

Famous/Named

Garona Halforcen

Caydiem claimed that Garona's other half was "draenei" based on assumption that draenei were once human-like in appearance, before there was ever any knowledge that draenei were of the eredar race. Later, this claim has been confirmed in World of Warcraft (Wildstorm comic), Conflicting Loyalties.

Brann stated that she may "not" be a half-draenei as she did not show physical features of the draenei or any other known race other than human. It would seem unlikely that she was human due to her age, as she was already a young woman at the time of the First War.Template:Cite However he may had never seen a half-draenei so he couldn't be sure if the half-draenei show draenei features.

Lantresor

Lantresor of the Blade is an individual confirmed to be of half-draenei and half-orc descent. He reuses Rend Blackhand's orc model, showing no draenei physical features other than a gray skintone (however, like the original Sylvanas or the earlier Rexxar, his model may just be a placeholder).

Med'an

Med'an is the son of the half-orc half-draenei Garona and an unknown father.

Terminology

Questionmark-medium
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.

So far the term half-draenei has only been found in sources describing orcs. It might be possible that in settings describing other races the term might describe a half-draenei/half-other (in the same way as a draenei probably would use the term half-orc for a half-draenei/half-orc). It may also be possible that as was the case with half-human half-ogres, that a long description is given in order to designate any racial combinations that go outside the norm. In contrast, half-elf, half-blood elf, half-night elf, and half-orc are defined almost universally as races that originated from humans and the specified race. Half-draenei, half-ogre, and half-ogre mage are exceptions in that they so far only refer to races created through the interbreeding of orcs and a non-human race.
