Non-playable races[]

The following represents the lore height of non-playable races in World of Warcraft.

These values come from official novels, making them the most canonical data available and thus take priority over other sources.

Trivia[]

• Female murlocs tend to be slightly larger than males.^{[np 11]}

Unconfirmed[]

• According to concept art where a female vrykul is compared to a female night elf, vrykul women are roughly 10'4" tall.
  • If the above turned out to be correct, male vrykul would likely be around 11' give or take.

BradyGames[]

This section represents the height of playable races taken from works published by BradyGames such as the World of Warcraft: Beginner's Guide and World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Signature Series Guide.

The legitimacy of these values should be taken with a grain of salt as BradyGames' guides have been found to contain wrong and inconsistent information on multiple occasions.
The two height tables below have inconsistencies and are not recommended for use.

• • These values come from the guides' race-specific pages.
