Background

Main article: Zandalari troll#History

Battle for Azeroth

Descended from the first troll tribes, the Zandalari are an ancient kingdom steeped in ritual and superstition. Their warriors ride mighty dinosaurs into battle, and they possess one of the most formidable fleets in the known world. But as enemies encroach upon the borders of Zuldazar, unrest within the king's council threatens to topple the empire. If the heroes of the Horde can return stability to Zandalar, they would gain a powerful new ally.

Notes

With the exception of some custom animations such as spell casting, the male Zandalari use night elf animations and the females use jungle troll animations.
Due to their connection with the dinosaur loa, Zandalari druids use a raptor for [Travel Form], a pterrordax for [Flight Form], a humanoid pterrordax for [Moonkin Form], an ankylodon for [Bear Form], and a sabertusk for [Cat Form].
Although the combination was shown on a presentation during BlizzCon 2018, playable Zandalari troll warlocks are not available because the Zandalari have no connection to fel magic.^[2] Despite this, the exile Za'roco the Grifter uses warlock abilities.
