Pandafolk (Pandaren)

Overview

The enigmatic pandaren are one of the most elusive races of Aralla. Native to the land of Shou Lang, they are a strong and hearty people with a universal attachment to nature and a passion for all it offers. Many Pandaren are also expert brewers, and few members of their race possess anything less than a love affair with strong ales and alcohols. Hailing from their own secret villages in the jungles of Shou Lang, the pandaren are a race of humanoids resembling pandas. This appearance leads some to underestimate these noble creatures, thinking them harmless and "cute". They may be cute, but they are not harmless. Pandaren have a long tradition of mystic warfare and are exceedingly strong and agile. The traditional pandaren fighting style focuses upon mobility, speed and precision, as well as stunning acrobatic tricks. Many pandaren are skilled at fighting bare-handed. Since the mists have spread out, Pandaren have been forced from their villages and out into the world.
