The dracthyr are a fictional race of anthropomorphic dragons in the Warcraft franchise. They were introduced as a playable race in the 2022 World of Warcraft expansion, Dragonflight, with the only class available being the Evoker, a caster that utilizes magic from the five dragonflights to heal allies, deal damage, or provide buffs. Unlike the game's other races, they are capable of flight and aerial combat. While they are primarily draconic, they can switch freely to a magical humanoid "visage" form if they choose. They were praised by critics for the drastic gameplay changes they added to the game, and were seen as significantly modernizing an otherwise dated title. However, they were criticized for a lack of customization while in dragon form, with most armors looking similar without turning back into a human.
