World of Warcraft has introduced a new group of characters called the Earthen Allied Race in The War Within Alpha.
These sturdy dwarves are available for both the Alliance and the Horde factions and come with lots of cool customizations like different beards, gemstones, and skin colors.

In the latest alpha build, players can finally play as the Earthen, checking out their unique racial abilities and appearance options. They have some neat passive bonuses that boost their armor and gathering skills, and they even gain extra experience from exploring.
As stone beings, they don’t eat food but instead benefit from a constant Well Fed buff, which they can change by eating gems. Their most exciting ability is Azerite Surge, a powerful skill that deals damage, heals allies and hits enemies hard.
Earthen characters can choose to be Paladins or Shamans, getting special totems and a unique charger mount. Although the mount isn’t in the alpha yet, fans can catch a glimpse of it through data mining.
At first, players weren’t too hyped about the Earthen, but their strong abilities and interesting backstory are winning people over. To unlock them, players need to finish the main story and some specific Earthen-related quests.
But wait, there might be more! Some fans think another Allied Race called the Harronir could be on the way.
These creatures, resembling a mix of Night Elves and Trolls with quills like porcupines, have caught players’ attention with their potential for customization and animations. While nothing’s confirmed, many are crossing their fingers to see these mysterious beings in the game soon.
