In the Character Creator

The client's own ChrRaces row names Warrior as this race's default class, which is the specialization the character creator lands on before you touch anything.
Azeroth's bestiary files Haranir under the Humanoid creature type, the same classification the game uses on every NPC that shares the body.

Appearance Options

The character creator ships 33 distinct appearance options for Haranir, 29 on Body Type 1 and 28 on Body Type 2, worth 568 individual settings between them.
Body Type 1 alone carries 289 of those settings.
Body Type 2 alone carries 279 of those settings.
Hair Color is the widest single slider at 31 settings.
Body Type 1 is the only one with Loincloth Color, Jewelry Color, Beard, Sideburns and Moustache.
Body Type 2 is the only one with Jewelry, Eyelashes, Underclothes Top and Underclothes Color.
Both bodies share Hair Style, Eyebrows, Tusk, Shoulder Spine, Skin Color, Face, Hair Color, Face Fur Pattern, Fur Color, Shoulder Spine Color, Hair Highlight Color and Ears.

Counted from the client's own ChrCustomizationOption and ChrCustomizationChoice records for this race's models. Blizzard labels the two records Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 in the creator itself.

Unlocking Haranir

Haranir is one of the client's allied races, which means the race is earned on an existing account rather than offered at the start.
The client records the requirement as: Complete the Midnight storylines listed below.
Blizzard's own recruitment line reads: Then visit Elder Hagar in Silvermoon City to recruit this Allied Race.

Who Is Playing Haranir

Our rated PvP crawl currently holds 6,322 Haranir characters, the 12th largest of the 26 races it has seen.
The classes they play most are Druid (2,559, 40%), Shaman (1,375, 22%), Hunter (603, 10%), Monk (538, 9%) and Warrior (359, 6%).
9 different classes appear on Haranir characters in that sample.
The body split across those characters is 56% male and 44% female.
In the Mythic Plus crawl, 453 ranked runs were set by Haranir characters, the deepest key among them a plus 14 and the best Mythic Plus rating 3,091.

These are counts from our own rated PvP and Mythic Plus crawls, last refreshed 2026-09-20. They say who is playing the race right now. They are not the character creator's list of allowed classes: the client keeps that in CharBaseInfo, which this datamine does not carry, so a class missing from the list above only means nobody in the sample is playing it.
