The goren are strange creatures found on Draenor that appear to bond with certain elements. Goren eat rocks, ore, and even elementals.

The goren of Ashran seem at home in the searing heat of the Molten Quarry, where they apparently subsist upon the iron ore found in the quarry and nearby Ogre Mine.

Description

While the gronn and magnaron shape the world through their brute individual strength, the goren are scavenging opportunists who dart unseen between the lumbering feet of their larger cousins. Roughly the size of an Azerothian trogg, goren live in massive colonies that burrow through the earth, gobbling up minerals and leaving twisting caves in their wake. They enjoy devouring crystalline minerals, which are digested and extruded through their skin, giving some goren the benefit of an armored crystalline shell. The bane of both orc and draenei miners, goren sniff out and infest mineral-rich burrows. Adventurers should be wary of the gorensā€™ ability to shoot crystalline projectiles and swarm around unprepared explorers in rolling packs, as well as their impossibly sharp teeth and acidic spit.[1]

Notes

The goren inherit the powers of whatever they eat.[2] This specifically includes elementals, but may also work for other types of beings or substances.

The minerals they eat are metabolized into crystalline structures grown as scales from their arms and back. The matrix of the scales is flawless, as if produced from a forge on Argus, only natural.[3]

The putrid-smelling gasses that the goren contain in their gut is extremely corrosive to almost anything.[4] This may help them with digestion.

Other

  • Goren Eggs can be found in Ashran's Molten Quarry and looted by players.

As a companion

  • Goren Youngling

Notes

  • Goren lay eggs, hatching small swarms of younglings at a time.
  • Goren appear to be a reference to the Goron race from the The Legend of Zelda series. In addition to the similar names, both races roll up into balls to travel quickly and eat rocks.
  • This species vanished or was completely annihilated when Draenor was shattered into Outland.
