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]
- Mantid — A race of insectoids[3][4][5] that dwell in the Dread Wastes and Townlong Steppes of Pandaria. Descendants of the aqir.
- Nerubian — Are an ancient insectoid[6][7] race in Northrend,[8] but they have also been called arachnids.
- Qiraji — An ancient sentient insectoid race who once vied for dominance of all of Kalimdor.[9] Descendants of the aqir. They sought to conquer the world.
- Ravagers — A form of insectoid predator[11] native to Outland as well as the alternate Draenor.
- Scythid — insectoids inhabiting the wilds in the Dragon Isles.
Notes[]
- While the nerubians, much like the qiraji and mantid, are descendants of the insectoid aqir, they are typically referred to as arachnids,[10] not insectoids.
