Well, it happened at last. The blue or green skinned trolls finally can be druids, so $25 later, Sagethyme, my old neglected tauren transformed into a female troll. I figured since I was about halfway through leveling, might as well pay for the change instead of starting all over again.
And then Neyteri happens to have heirlooms, courtesy of Owlaf and all those emblems she had collected from the days of Wrath of the Lich King. Neyteri has two trinket heirlooms, plus two shoulders and chest pieces (one for pvp and one for pve, EACH), plus two weapons, and the caster heirloom cape that I got from my guild. I'm considering getting another cape that has agility and stamina so it can be primarily used for kitty form (or rogues for that matter should I make one).
Anyway, back to Neyteri, I was pretty lucky to get that name. It's the name of the female Na'vi, one of the main characters from the movie "Avatar" and I thought it would be perfect for my troll. Trolls are tribal, living in dense jungles and worshiping spirits and deities and practicing rituals. "Stay away from da voodoo," they say, yet I think they do practice a little of it. Long ago I helped a troll (quest giver, npc) who wanted me to get some items of import, and he put them in his cauldron and gave the mixture to three captive night elves that he had around him. Instantly they all died and he cackled maniacally at them. The night elves themselves became wisps and flew out of the cave. Well, at least they were free, but I bet their method of dying was a painful one.
Now Trolls do hate all other species, and why that is I have no idea. Yet some Trolls had gone into hiding for a long time and now have returned to help the rest in the times of the Cataclysm. Neyteri is one of those. Having felt exiled from the rest of the tribe, Neyteri used to be a priest (well not really of course, Blizzard won't do class changes) and she wondered through the jungles, lost and alone and without purpose. But then one night the animal spirits came to her and told her to journey to the north where she would find those who were in need of her aid, and they would show her the ways of the spirits. With the promise of getting in touch with nature and working with the animal spirits, Neyteri journeyed to the north until she reached Moonglade. By the time she had arrived she passed out from hunger and exhaustion, and the druids found her and saved her. After being nursed back to health, Neyteri began to see the animal spirits and she learned how to shapeshift with the aid of the druids instruction.Once she was trained in the druidic ways, Neyteri set out on her own once again, this time dashing across the plains the through the forests as a cheetah. In times of hunger she shifted to a bear form or cat form to hunt her prey. She ended up spending much of her time in cat form, familiarizing herself with her new senses and powers.
In the end, she returned to the Echo Isles and helped the Horde retake the isles for the Trolls of the Darkspear tribe, of whom she used to belong, and once again is a part of. Nowadays she aids in the healing of the land from the return of Deathwing and brings honor to the Horde by fighting against the Alliance in the forests of Ashenvale.
... Not bad huh?<.< Oh yes. Yawn! C'mon, I wasn't that boring!
Anyway, that's Neyteri for ya. I love the artwork for their cat forms, making them look more like tigers than panthers, and with the tusks coming out of their mouths, they seem pretty close to saber-toothed tigers, only their tusks grow upward instead of down. Guess it helps if they jerk their head upwards while standing right infront of a human, maybe they use their tusks that way to make a man lose his... well, you know...
So yeah. Tauren druid forms have horns and Troll druid forms have tusks... Night Elven Druids have... no horns or tusks... and Worgen have collars.... Hmmm.
