Tauren (from the Greek. ancient Greek. ταυρος — bull) — one of the most peaceful races in world of Warcraft. They are above human approximately doubled and are a cross between humans and bulls. In contrast to the Minotaur from Greek mythology, the "human" and "cow" signs Tauren evenly distributed — for example, fur covered all their body, not just the head. Their women are a bit smaller and lighter than males and have a lighter skeleton.
The Tauren, a type of culture which was the culture of North American Indians, is very sensitive to feel the spirit of the world, adhere to shamanic cults, with a special emphasis on ancestor worship and confessing the way of the warrior. Tauren revere the totems of their ancestors, which reach enormous proportions and are often hewn from a single tree. These totems can be used as weapons. In General, their weapon of choice are pole size with old oak (mainly chiefs) and the axe. Currently they are allied with the Horde.
The Tauren lived in the Central regions of Kalimdor and led a nomadic life. Their history for the duration of hardly inferior history of the night elves. Participated in the war of the Ancients ten thousand years ago on the side of the night elves. But by the time the Horde arrived in Kalimdor, the Tauren were almost wiped out by centaurs. In addition, they experienced a period of fragmentation into separate clans. The most powerful of them was the clan Bloodhoof, which was led by Cairne Bloodhoof (eng. Cairn Bloodhoof).
Orcs, representing a large part of the Horde, almost immediately upon arrival at Kalimdor witnessed the battle between the Tauren and centaurs. Orcs and trolls of the jungle, which was part of the Horde, helped the Tauren, and soon found much in common with them, because the Horde wanted to go back to their shamanistic roots, and Steppe, in which lived the whole year, reminded the orcs on their homeland of Draenor. The Tauren, also as a nation with ancient shamanic roots, helped budding orcs and their leader thrall. Since then, the Tauren are an integral part of the Horde. They fought side by side with the Horde, Alliance and night elves at the battle of mount Hyjal, and then participated in the war against the armies of Kul Tiras and attempted to invade Durotar.
At the end of the Third war, the Tauren finally came together and settled in the fertile plains of Mulgore. Their capital was Thunder bluff (eng. Thuderbluff), built on the plateau. Them to this day runs Cairne Bloodhoof, but he was already quite old at tourenski standards and it is likely that the power from the Tauren will change soon. Most of the rumors claims that this role will pass to his son, Bain Bloodhoof, but it's just a rumor. The Tauren continue to supply fierce warriors and wise shamans for the Horde
