Details
The noble humans of Stormwind stand at the forefront of the Alliance against the enemies of Azeroth.
Read from ChrRaces in the current retail client build. The name forms, starting level and model key are the client's own fields; the portraits and body model are the client's own art; the racials come from the client's "Racial" skill line.
Racial Abilities (4)
Each one is a real spell in the current build. The client groups them as Racial - Human, where every rank and its tooltip lives.
What Each Racial Does
- No Place Like Home
Your Hearthstone cooldown is reduced by 5 min and gains an additional charge.
- The Human Spirit
You gain 2% more of all secondary stats (Haste, Critical Strike, Mastery, Versatility) from all sources.
- Will to Survive
Removes all stun effects. This effect shares a 90 sec cooldown with other similar effects.
3 of the 4 racial abilities the client teaches this race carry tooltip text in the current build. The rest are passive hooks with no description of their own.
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 Human under the Humanoid creature type, the same classification the game uses on every NPC that shares the body.
- The row Worgen (row 22) wears this row as its out-of-combat form.
Appearance Options
- The character creator ships 16 distinct appearance options for Human, 13 on Body Type 1 and 13 on Body Type 2, worth 498 individual settings between them.
- Body Type 1 alone carries 227 of those settings.
- Body Type 2 alone carries 271 of those settings.
- Hair Color is the widest single slider at 58 settings.
- Body Type 1 is the only one with Mustache, Beard and Sideburns.
- Body Type 2 is the only one with Piercings, Necklace and Makeup.
- Both bodies share Face, Skin Color, Hair Style, Hair Color, Face Shape, Eyebrows, Eye Color, Eyesight, Eye Style and Ears.

- 9 different classes appear on Human characters in that sample.

- In the Mythic Plus crawl, 1,855 ranked runs were set by Human characters, the deepest key among them a plus 19 and the best Mythic Plus rating 3,791.
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.
