Insectoid is a term that has been used to refer to several insect-like creatures.
Known insectoids
Aqir — A race of highly intelligent, greatly expansionistic and incredibly evil insectoids who ruled the far western lands of old Kalimdor,[1] spawned from the Old Gods themselves.[2]
Qiraji — An ancient sentient insectoid race who once vied for dominance of all of Kalimdor.[3] Descendants of the aqir.
Mantid — A race of insectoids[5][6][7] that dwell in the Dread Wastes and Townlong Steppes of Pandaria. Descendants of the aqir.
Ravagers — A form of insectoid predator[8] native to Outland as well as the alternate Draenor.
Scythid — insectoids inhabiting the wilds of Forbidden Reach in the Dragon Isles.
Notes
- While the nerubians, much like the qiraji and mantid, are descendants of the insectoid aqir, they are referred to as arachnids,[4] not insectoids.
