New faction race for WoW: Wrath of the Lich King unveiled… and they want their bucket back. [WoW]

Blizzard recently unveiled a new non-playable faction race for the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. The race, “once shrouded in mystery” is a race of bipedal walrus people called the Tuskarr. For those hoping to finally see the Pandarans in the flesh… well, too bad. You don’t really see a whole lot of pandas in the arctic now do you? Walruses, oh the arctic has walruses in spades. It’s a good thing the Tuskarr aren’t playable lest there suddenly be a run on names like Mahbukket, Gimmemahbuket and Kookookaju.
The description via Blizzard’s WotLK site:
The tuskarr are a kind-natured nomadic race that roams the southern coastlines of Northrend, guided by the carved cyclopean statues that mark their seasonal fishing routes. The tuskarr’s tribal affiliation is evidenced by the sigils inscribed on their tusks, and although they are a peaceful race, they are constantly beset by the Kvaldir and an arctic race of murloc-like creatures known as the Gorloc.
Yet even their enemies marvel at the tuskarr’s prowess and fearlessness in catching some of the most dangerous creatures in Northrend’s frigid waters, including whales and giant squid. Not even the unnamed leviathans that lurk in the ocean’s depths are beyond the tuskarr’s reach.
The tuskarr have seen their share of difficult times, but with the Horde’s recent arrival they have found a new ally in the ongoing struggle against the hostile forces of Northrend.
