Special notes A class for leaders of tauren tribes.

The tauren chieftains are elder tauren warriors that lead their tribes in daily life as well as in battle. Ceremoniously decked with the ancient totems of their tribes, chiefs uphold the honor and simplicity of tauren culture. When roused by battle, the gigantic chiefs employ enormous warblades which are capable of tearing through solid trees with one mighty swipe. The chiefs are fascinated by the orcs, especially their young leader, Thrall. The chiefs see an opportunity to help the orcs return to their traditional roots by providing a strong example of honor and courage through all tauren warriors.[1]

According to Marshal Troteman, the Horde sent tauren chieftains to attack Lion's Landing forces in Krasarang Wilds.[2]

Before Highmountain tauren become high chieftains, they must undergo a series of visions in the Path of Huln and perform a ritual.[3]

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

Tauren chieftains possess impressive battle skills combined with a knowledge of tactics, geography and current affairs. A tauren chieftain knows where alliances are strongest and where they are likely to break down; he also knows where best to stage a mass battle and what location works for a small ambush. A tauren chieftain's competence and wisdom inspire his troops.[4]
