A tribe is a social unit consisting of a number of families united under a common hereditary chieftain. Typically, trolls organize in these groups, and some sources suggest tauren and taunka identify more often as tribes than clans. The term tribe is sometimes used interchangeably with the term clan.

Main tribes:

  • Bloodhoof – The chieftain's own tribe.
  • Cliffwalker – A tribe living at Cliffwalker Post in Stonetalon Mountains.
  • Cloudsong – They picked up the role of spiritual leaders of the tauren shamans after the Skychaser tribe was nearly wiped out.

Murloc tribal system[]

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

Murlocs live in tribes, each tribe to its own village of usually six to twelve individuals.[7][8] Many murloc tribes exist, and the tribes get along with each other reasonably well.[9] Each tribe has a name that seems indicative of its members’ activities, appearance, or history, such as "Lostfin" or "Bluegill". Multiple tribes in the same area are organized into larger clans, and every so often all tribes in a clan meet to discuss issues of importance.[7][9] However, keeping a large group of murlocs coordinated and in agreement for any significant length of time is difficult.[7] Members of a single tribe are usually similar in appearance.[7]
