“How do harpys reproduce?”
Well, as you said, they have an affinity for ambushing travelers...so.....
It's pretty common knowledge that. It's not confirmed, but it's a myth that they have their way with humans, orcs and elves.
Of course, you'd die afterwards.
In the bestiary of the roleplaying game it is confirmed that they mate with un fortunate lone travelers
@@LichlordKazam what about the other races? if they're gonna lay with orcs then surely they'd be up for the others too?
“When Blizzard sought to make Centaur, they wanted to make the most disgusting and unappealing race in all of WoW.
And then immediately after they got sidetracked designing Gnomes, got to work on Centaurs.”
I can't think of anything more vile than a gnome. It was a sick practical joke taken too far.
Concerning harpy reproduction... This is from the 2003 sourcebook, "Manual of Monsters", for the "Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game" (Sword and Sorcery system), page 55:
"There are no male harpies. They capture males of other humanoid races and force them to mate. These unfortunates are often hobbled to keep from escaping... given the circumstances, seduction is out of the question. Harpies resort to magic and potions to ensure cooperation, and employ their captives until they succumb to disease and malnutrition... at which point, the males become food for the roost. In lean times, harpies can lay unfertilized eggs that become copies of the mother."
Blizz is a bit too kid friendly these days to have something that dark in the lore.
The Orcs for example raped a lot of women during their rampages, resulting in people like Garona Halforcen being born.
There's no reason to believe there aren't plenty of Half-Orc / Half-Something walking around Azeroth as a result of this rape wave.
But Blizz is like "LALALALALALALALALAICAN'THEARYOU!" when it comes to that part of the lore.
I'm legit surprised they haven't just retconned it to Garona being the result of nice guy orc dating a draenei lady with an affinity for the color green.
@@randalftheblack2572 They could've said "well achktually orcs would fine the other races DISGUSTING" since they literally come from another planet ,this is also supported by the fact one orc in the wc3 campaign said that the quil boar were prettier then then humans which implies that they view humans like we view orcs (ugly monsters)
@@complex7061 They could. But using our world as an example, rape in armed conflict isn't always about "wow that girl was pretty, I want her". It's also a type of violence where the perpetrator just dominates someone. Dehumanizing the population of your enemy allows a human to absolutely horrible shit to them without feeling bad about it. That process is even easier if it's an alien I think.
And the Draenei were victims of rape at the hands of the orcs. And appearance wise Draenei resemble humans more than orcs in facial structure.
shout out to Merlin the lizard for making their first video appearance
I like how while the horde is fighting things that came from gods and an oil company
The alliance has various forms of rats to kill
Alliance has cool enemies too!
The Gnolls and the Murlocs came from wild gods, Troggs are titan constructs corrupted by the old gods, Kobolds came from Troggs, Satyrs are night elves corrupted by the Fel, The Defias Brotherhood is a stonemasons guild rebelling cause they weren't paid for rebuilding Stormwind after WC1 and they killed Varian's wife.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: I want a full raid on giant Venture Co. HQ skyscraper ala Shinra HQ in FF7. A giant robo receptionist, floor managers, accounting and the board of directors. So many fun things they could do with it.
Little did we know Raid: Shadow Legends was the real enemy.
0:35 "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me!"
The now non-canon Manual of Monsters and Monster Guide said that harpies reproduce by, uh... rape. Yeah.
Also crazy that any male race in wow can get em pergo . Yeah that kinda dark Warcraft isn't for da kids lol
@@joezar33I mean I don't even know how people would think wows for kids sure it has a cartoony art style but it has war in its name, are we expecting war to be child friendly
1:04
You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!
@@Corsair512 Exactly..
It's basically become a meme at this point anyway... The sheeple who are actually upset need to grow a few braincells and use their freewill..
epic gizmo yeah mam, Fuck making money, Money is for chumps and idiots who want to actually buy stuff amirite?
Nelg512 would you happen to know the numbers involved for the ad? I’m just curios :)
I know sponsorships are a pain for viewers, but you gotta eat, man. Great job as always, glad you got big enough for the raid sponsor.
Sponsorships are fine unless you are sponsor a rigged fraudulent mobile game. If you’ll put aside your morals for money you have nothing at the end of the day.
@@8ball279 Sure, or you can spend days making videos for no money whatsoever
People mad at sell outs don't have the clout to sell out. Make that bread. I can skip it. Free country
Colin Papendick fool you using clout to describe youtubers popularity? Get a life you lonely fucker.
@@8ball279 I mean just skip the ad its no big deal, anyone educated enough knows not to fall for it.
Man, I hate seeing douzens of youtubers lying through their teeth about loving, let alone actively playing some random shitty mobile game.
Though I'd totally take the money as well so I can understand it.
@@noneofyourbusiness7965 that's how they get ya, you get curious and then you download their game to find out!
Harpies do, indeed, Mate with male captives. The Mage Order Hall in Legion kinda confirmed that, i think it was Aethas that got rescued from them.
Naked, i think.
I read in the wiki that the Horde hates centaurs so much that they flay them(you can see centaur skin carpets in Orgrimmar , settlements in the Barrens and other places) but they aren't skinnable in the game
With respect to the Venture Co. in BFA. They do show up on mechagnon island from time to time even though that happens after you killed their leader in the Motherlode dungeon. So they are still around.
looked in the preview for the "ad over" thx
Alliance Enemies: Cute little savages that are dumb and get tons of merch
Horde Enemies: Mongol Centaurs that skin Taurens, Rapist Harpies, and a mercenary gang that are a cross between Blackwater United and a captain planet villain.
I love this series, you do a great job with keeping it interesting while also keeping it funny. good shit
Absolutely love this series dude. Please keep making them
6:36 oh hog riders. I see what you did there
Great video as always it very entertaining, and I'm glad you got a sponsor to keep your content going :)
Harpies kidnap men, drug them, and force them to mate until they die... It was in an old Warcraft table-top RPG book.
ahahahah those patrons at the end "alliance sucks" and "for da horde" xD
I actually laughed out loud when the face time thing showed up
Man been watching all of these lore stories.. I gotta say you have helped someone laugh and smile thanks platinum ! Great videos
I love how Lore makes level 70 shaman run from a level 15 colkar kentaur and elvel 18 harpy, and then makes bunch of suckers kill titan-like beings .😂
Honestly I always though it would be cool if the monster races like Gnolls, Ogres, Centaurs, Harpies and Quilboars were playable. If not with horde then maybe as either a third neutral "faction" thats not really a faction per say, or maybe as just neutral race ala Pandarians. Would love the hell out of playing a Gnoll :3
The fact that Horde which in vanilla, and the OG hord before the events of Warcraft RTS was this badass faction of races that would usually be treated as evil in most games but not in WoW at that time and yet you could create your character as one of them did have a lot of appeal.
Cow people, Horse people, Pig people, Dog people, Birdwomen..... damn this is almost like my Warhammer Beastmen army right there :D
I don't understand why the hell they adding new troll races when you already have a troll race while you really could put more effort for an entire new race and Panda's... Should be removed honestly thats what started to kill WoW immersion of lore and many quitted.
I'm glad to see that our boy Platinum is getting some money for his videos. Well deserved!
Love the videos, keep em comin'!
"A giant boar named aga-mah-gan" IT'S PRONOUNCED AH-GAH-MAH-GHAN
I like how half of these can be devolved to "Because they tried to fight taurens at one point"
Best part of the day was seeing this in my subfeed
I really did think that this raid ad was a meme...
Thank you for the Lore videos!
I demand to see agamaggan in Ardenweald! Ya’ll already took Ursoc from us, at least give Agamaggan back 😂
oh my god the intro got me in tears, nice one man
I love these lore videos, especially with the Platinum machinima touch.
Rly good Video, Love these lore videos
In like, MoP when they butchered a bunch of old dungeons, removing a ton of bosses they did seem to add a bunch of nonhostile civilian Quilboar to the Kraul, combined with the fact that a very boring version of Agamaggan's ghost can be talked to as early as Cata I think it's implied they';re getting less insane and bloodthirsty.
Such a good video, bien hecho hermano.
I love the animation style, makes your videos very funny 👍
Great vid. I have been wanting to learn more about the lore I hate to admit I skipped over the lore part went right into grinding
0:59 "So you have chosen death"
How did you know the harpies can be asexual?-
I guess someone found rule 34 of harpies by accident and got traumatized.
Anyways good video as always platinum djksfnbajajsnna
But ho is the lucky souls that have been doing sex with them?
before being eaten !
@@anthonypintor3310 yes i do but i meant what kind of stuff he found while searching for harpies info. ngl you can find any weird shit today on internet and have nightmares the same day.
@@aszdxfcgvh2776 why would that be nightmarish? They are beautiful minus the death. There are worse fates.
@@Shadowhunterbg I mean, they could just yeet you off a cliff and laugh as you plummet to your death. Harpies can be pretty fucked up, in lore at least.
Nice video as always :D
Ngl I just found your channel today and it’s hilarious 😆
great vid!
the ending is legit me playing my troll monk
T1 edits were on point, gj
S+ tier content bro. I always learn cool shit when I watch your vids.. Quilboars just got semi interesting
I dont fking know how I didnt see any of ur videos before being a wow player for 16 years by now,but you are freaking amazing, its like nobbel and carbot making a video! U got urself a new sub
The only inaccuracy in this machinima is the Troll Shaman in ful MC gear running from level 15 centaurs.
"ripping the resources of Azeroth and making profit in the process" So, goblins in general
What about the illegal dwarf expeditions, the hostile Kul'Tiras strongholds and (imo the most important in the lore of Durotar) the Burning Blade (including the rest of the Shadow Council)?
Reminder that the Horde is invading Quillboar lands, not the other way around. They were in the Barrens first.
Good to see you got sponsorship dude. Your a legend.
Dude!!! He got a raid sponsorship! Our boy really made it as a UA-camr!
That fkn intro killed me so good.
"When Blizzard sought to make Centaur, they wanted to make the most disgusting and unappealing race in all of WoW"
And they based them on Mongols noooooo
That Quillboar sound lmao
I am glad you got sponsor o wob
Your videos are so underrated 😆
I'd love to see you do the Alliance next.
I’m getting ptsd flashbacks of barrens questing from that intro gah
:40 most terrifying sound ive ever heard
It's genuinely pretty funny that the Horde's, or at least the Orc's reason for being in conflict with the Centaur and Quillboar basically boils down to "We invaded and collonized their land"
You got that Crested Geckie dawg? On deck? My guy.
I get you’re trying to earn money but...
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
Ngl I wouldn't mind being "ambushed" by harpies...
...Until they kill me off
Tauren, Centaur, Quilboar. Three of my favourite races in all of Warcraft.
God how I wish any of them were relevant to the greater plot.
Can you do a video on corrupted blood? Not exactly lore related but a crazy piece of wow history nonetheless
The Horde comic set during the Cataclysm had weird handsome centaur who kinda-did-kinda-didn't blow up the old horde Stonetalon Mountain village, the one that's still there but had no quests in Cata.
The ending merits a thumbs up.
"The giant boar 'Aga maga'" ...
Love you platinum
Kinda wanna name my next dog Agamaggan
Ravens irl (Magpies being the most popularly associated) do NOT like shiny things usually. They tend to find them frightening as they not a naturally occuring thing typically, so they tend to stay away from them. There are exceptions of course as individuals do not always fit larger patterns but still, the ravens stealing shiny things myth is just that, myth.
If a centaur Khan manage to unify all centaurs of the Barrens and Desolace they would conquer most parts of Kalimdor
The Venture Company made a reappearance on Mechagon, so it's safe to say they will continue to exist.
Harpys lay eggs, they're a quest where u grab em in durotar
2:51-Wait, you were once married?
The Venture Co. are also on Mechagon Isle
what about the grimtotem tauren? Yesterday i was really wondering whats the deal with them
The beginning is bassicaly normal day in barrens
Please say that in the beginning when the troll breathes funny its a reference to gonzossm and his dead space parody😳😳
I got 3 ads in a row after your Raid ad lol
the only thing shittier than the alliance is raid shadow legends
What is the name of the song in the end with the patreon credits?
About the harpies, I guess they kidnap anyone who has a pp and mate with him, you know, monster girl quest style lol
I definitely read herpies and I gotta say it still fits rather well with the sentences. 😅
headcanon time:
1.) classic harpies are the children of aviana, while the ones in legion are the corrupted night elves.
2.) harpies are the female counterpart to the male satyrs.
WOW what? I actually asked this question. weird to see this video answering it
It's so nice of Plarium to give you money even though they realise that we play WoW and hence dont have any time for other games (or real life)😌
Raid shadow legends is a ""popular"" game
Omg a crestie! They are super cute! Looks Young!
Imagine looting thunderfury from a random harpy
The Venture Co area in Stormsong has Hobgoblins and Ogres there, which really underlines what a gigantic waste it was to make Hobgoblins just Ogres with pointy ears and noses instead of their old WC3 concept/RPG art.
