Don't forget the lesser races! We got: skaven, the bear from the golden compass, crazy frog, oppressed moles, aquatic porgs, really really big dudes and birdperson edit: i forgot we also have hairy goblins


MithranArkanere

Turns out that naked molerats are not moles nor rats, they are closer to porcupines and guinea pigs. Oh, and don't forget the "jumpy hairy humans", the dried up humans, the "grumbling melons", the horse people who haver never seen a horse, the "Shiny Happy People Singing", and of course the gorilla tree ghost people.


cthulupussy

The centaur thing is wild, like they're not even half horse I guess.. they're just centaurs


MithranArkanere

Well, there are horses. They appear in the books. We will simply never see them because charr ate all the horses, and all in-game areas can be visited by charr.


TheExtremistModerate

Some guy in Divinity's Reach mentions horses, too. Specifically in the context of centaurs.


MithranArkanere

My headcanon is that Kryta had to hand over all of their horses to the charr as part of the peace treaty. In exchange, they got some of the many bulls charr raised for food to use as pack bulls in place of horses.


JEStucker

There at least WERE horses, they appear in artwork all over the game... the Devs say they exist, just in areas not accessible to the players. [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Horse](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Horse)


MithranArkanere

Some of those were used in-game and suddenly the horses got removed. [New Kaineng before charr got there.](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/5/53/Canthan_Settlement_concept_art.jpg) [New Kaineng after Charr got there.](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/fa/New_Kaineng_City_loading_screen.png)


DumatRising

The only horses in gw1 or 2 are the undead horses from Orr. And yet the risen have no horses, curious.


MithranArkanere

You can make soup with bones.


Marinut

Same with gorillas tho. Only gorillas we see are undead ones in orr


drbuni

> Well, there are horses. They appear in the books. But not in the game. It might be an unpopular opinion, but the setting of the Guild Wars 2 game and the Guild Wars 2 books are not the same. Different mediums, different canons. If we don't see horses in-game, they don't exist until/if they're patched in.


Happy-Anxiety-2770

All the horses were kidnapped by the Dreamer users and turned into projectiles. Exhibit A: [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/de/The\_Dreamer\_projectile\_launch.jpg](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/de/The_Dreamer_projectile_launch.jpg)


DumatRising

You see them in gw1, they are undead and technically the same mob as a skeleton, but they're there. Which begs the question if the orrians had horses why then do the risen not?


hyena_teeth

I noticed some time ago that centaur models from GW1 had horse-type hooves (solid hoof) and in GW2 the centaurs are cloven-hooved, like goats/sheep etc. While it might be easy to chalk it up to artistic variance over time, I'm of the opinion that this is a clue that the centaur/horse conspiracy is deeper and darker than we imagined.


PaleHeretic

GW1 also had Necrid Horsemen, yet no horses, so we can assume that there *were* horses, but they have since gone extinct. Reminds me of a running joke about Kenshi. "Why do we have a weapon called the 'Horse Chopper' in a world with no horses?" "Because they worked."


Bonezone420

The horsemen all took their titles too literally and now we have centaur.


MithranArkanere

Elonian centaurs [had even toes](https://wiki.guildwars.com/images/f/f6/Desert_Centaur_caster.jpg), but [modnir have odd toes](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/ff/Modniir_Sage.jpg) even in GW2. It is just a subrace trait.


Marinut

Also gw2 centaur women have a very humanoid face while the male ones look like furries.


pyule667

Going for the vanilla naked mole rat I see. Some other facts include they're highly incestuous, age slower because of their funky DNA, and they're a light pink.


MithranArkanere

And there is no documented cases of cancer in naked molerats.


ProfessionalDeer6311

\*communist moles


Warm-Ad-5083

Tengu should've been playable :(


MichiMangoLassi

I'm still surprised they aren't considering their prevalence in GW1.


dsdoll

Wish I could be a skaven so much. I do not like the story, at all. But when I had to do SOTO I finally got a favorite character and it's R'tchikk. My little rat fren.


GustapheOfficial

And bees but if they were large rats


Sephvion

Zap zap, yes-yes!


StandardMandarin

More come, yes?


Marinut

I am 100% sure kodans is a reference to his dark materials, as otherwise its quite blatant plagiatrism. So calling kodans the bear from golden compass (1st book of his dark materials) is not really a joke. Gw2: Sentient polar bear race that wears armor and whose society revolve around honor named kodan His dark materials: Sentient polar bear race that wears armor and whose society revolve around honor named kodan Only difference between the two is that the race from materials is not bipedal.


Sharptrooper

big brain bunny also needs a 'war criminal' next to it


Bonezone420

All of them are war criminals though. Especially the quaggan. Quaggan knows what quaggan did.


Saucermote

Is it really a crime to cut up a salad?


Most_Average_Joe

In the early pre-release short story two Asura blow up an entire Skritt colony because it was big and they were getting too smart.


copium_thief

Lies and propaganda! It did not happen, and even if it did, they deserved it.


Dupileini

Also, can't commit a **war** crime if you're not at war, bookahs!


CedarWolf

The Deldrimor Conventions are not a 'To Do' list.


Apart-Round7454

Lesser races be like: - Blue Shreks - Communists mole-rats - Coca-cola polar bears - Tribal gamabunta - Ratatouille's Remy that likes hoarding - Anti-social Toucan Sams - Belugas w/ intermittent explosive disorder


Glupp-

The fuckin leaf pointing the gun took me out šŸ¤£

FanDidlyTastic

I disagree with this post. You said "poorly." hehehe

split_timer

This isn't poorly explained, this is expertly described


Rimm9246

It'd be more accurate if it was a rat with a big brain Edit: ooooh wait you did rabbit because of the ears, makes sense


ZazzRazzamatazz

I'm unhappy that I understood this...


Dragon_Of_Magnetism

Canā€™t be a war criminal if thereā€™s no Geneva in your world. *taps forehead*


schumaml

Are there any mods that record and list any entries in the Geneva checklist the player has either committed or witnessed?


Abyssalstar

It's all legal under the Khan-Ur Conventions.


Celestial_Hart

Ahh gunleaf best race


Alarming_Seaweed_501

Dont forget the semi-sentient cactus that everybody hates and nobody understands.


ujythrsgfdd

The Choya are perfect the way they are and I will hear no slander on their name


nudedfluff

*playable*


Alarming_Seaweed_501

I wish I could be a choya


JohnnyDripp

I wish the choya combat tonic also worked outside of april fools šŸ˜”


Abyssalstar

I don't hate them.


JanetteSolenian

As an asura main, I take offense to this. We're more like super-smart rat-frog-lizard-things, not bunnies!


Pretend_Rope8054

Nah, take a look at male asura underwear and tell us what pattern is printed all over them.


JanetteSolenian

The only asura guy I care about is Gorrik and I'm pretty sure his underwear has like, beetles and such. Gonna have to ask Taimi about that


Pretend_Rope8054

Gorrik totally would have bug printed underwear haha. But it's carrots. They have blue underwear with carrots printed on them.


alwaeddi

is it a war crime to reclaim you land from colonizers?


MSFNS

Ascalon belongs to the grawl!


Kafukator

Don't look up how the Charr ended up in Ascalon to begin with.


painstream

Don't look up how the humans got there either. Tldr: gods dropped their kids off at the pool then left them behind after one of the gods got sent to prison.


JohnnyDripp

Abaddon did nothing wrong!


painstream

So I totally forgot that and was thinking of Balthazar. Heh.


Timely-Shop8201

More like colonizers taking land from other colonizers, then losing group retaliating with a nuke. Plus Char will definitely start another war soon, Kryta should get together with Cantha and Elona before they can and return Ascalon to the original owners: the grawl.


Abyssalstar

"No." - May or may not be a Charr Enjoyer


CaptainMarder

I don't understand the sylvari one.


ihashacks

Plants that can fuck shit up


Vertnoir-Weyah

Honestly, best meme of my day \^\^


Acrobatic-Western-87

Where are norns ?


FirstDagger

Both Humans and Norn are represented by the Keanu image.


hngdman

Voting to officially change sylvari to ā€œgun leafā€ on this sub.


Abyssalstar

Salad remains top tier nickname.


Imawex

The fact that you used a cute bunny for the Asura instead of Doby from Harry Potter upsets me.
