Maruuk Centaur
Last wiki revision 2023-10-31
The Maruuk Centaur are centaur found on the Dragon Isles.
The Maruuk have existed on the Dragon Isles since the War of the Ancients. The Wild God Ohn'ahra long ago guided Maruuk and his mate Teera to the Ohn'ahran Plains after they set out to find a new home, there they fought and pushed out the gnolls living there. They also fought with the green dragonflight, but eventually came to live in peace with each other. Clans rose and fell over the years, but they maintained relative peace among themselves and the dragons.
With the revealing of the Dragon Isles to the world, the Alliance and Horde made their way to the Dragon Isles. The Maruuk were initially cautious of the outsiders, and challenged the new arrivals to prove themselves worthy of the clans' respect.
Composed of hunters, nomads, and storytellers, the Maruuk are composed of multiple centaur clans, each of which specializes in a different area. The centaur clans are deeply connected to the land, maintaining their traditions, and those seeking to assist can earn their trust.
When a young centaur comes of age, they're often expected to take part in their first proto-drake hunt.
The centaur are known far and wide for their drums, and they have been honing their drum-making skills for generations.
The Maruuk gather together at the Khural to share resources and stories.
They bury their dead in underground chambers known as kurgans.

- It is currently unknown how the Maruuk predate the War of the Ancients, as it was previously thought that the only centaur race had only been born around 1,100 years ago by the union of Zaetar and Theradras.
- According to a factions overview in Dragonflight, all of the Maruuk share the same culture. According to an Ohn'ahran Plains preview, however, every Maruuk clan's culture is unique.
- In the game, they share the same base culture, but each clan has a different focus. Teerai are focused on tradition, Shikaar on hunting, Nokhud on war, Ohn'ir on religious worship, Toghus on craftsmanship and animal rearing, and Uhkel is focused on necromancy (though this appears to be a recent development). It is unknown what Clan Kaighan or Clan Aylaag are focused on.
