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 (6)

Each one is a real spell in the current build. The client groups them as Racial - Kul Tiran, where every rank and its tooltip lives.

What Each Racial Does

5 of the 6 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 Kul Tiran under the Humanoid creature type, the same classification the game uses on every NPC that shares the body.

The character creator ships 12 distinct appearance options for Kul Tiran, 10 on Body Type 1 and 10 on Body Type 2, worth 166 individual settings between them.
Body Type 1 alone carries 79 of those settings.

Body Type 1 is the only one with Mustache and Beard.

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 Kul Tiran

Kul Tiran 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 achievement that opens it is Allied Races: Kul Tiran: Earn the allegiance of the Kul Tirans and welcome them into the Alliance. It is worth 10 achievement points.
Blizzard's own recruitment line reads: Then visit the Stormwind Embassy to recruit this Allied Race.

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.
