The legend of WoTLK Classic Gold this new race that is being introduced to the Dragonflight's Dragon Isles zones is that the creatures were invented to protect the Dragon Isles by Neltharion the Earth-Warder. However, he became mad and turned into Deathwing, the destroyer. The reason he wanted to combine the aspects of dragons as well as mortals was that the Dracthyr could have the ability to do what neither mortals nor dragons could achieve alone, and to defend all of the Dragon Isles and all of Azeroth. Hence, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's new race, the Dracthyr , was designed, combining the flexibility of humans, but with the power and wisdom of the dragons. The only thing they have in common with demon hunters are their hairy, horned, and scaly appearances, and that they are both likely to not get old.

In terms of similarities in gameplay as demon hunters go Dracthyr has the ability to shapeshift into an ethereal dragon with tails, wings and scales and also perform special abilities in that form. Demon hunters are able to transform into larger, winged demons too however only for a limited time. Evokers are also hero classes and begin at a high degree than demon hunters do (although death knights do also have this ability). Just like demon hunters and death knights, Dracthyr's unique animations have features that cannot be found in other classes like the former doing backflips as well as being able to sweep over their opponents and inflict blasts of fire on them. Demon hunters were also limited to two races - blood Elves in WoW's Horde and night Elves that belong to the Alliance. Dracthyr will be naturally not a faction, and will possess one class that is available to them. In addition to the flashy visuals of flapping wings , and having an extremely specific lore, this is where the similarities end.

WoW's new Evokers are a strictly ranged class and don't fulfill one of the roles within the demon hunter group, which they play (demon hunters act as tanks, or melee damage suppliers). Evokers can be healers or ranged damage dealers, and the only other classes that can accomplish both the two are priests or druid and shaman. Demon hunters wear leather armor (admittedly in a limited amount since they're very fond of clothes) While Evokers wear armor that is mail-based, just like hunters and shamans. Evokers - or , more accurately, Dracthyr - are genetic dragon-mortal hybrids , who are able to look more human, but most likely will choose to adopt their dragon forms when they are in battle (more like the worgen, one races added to the tales in World of buy WoTLK Gold Warcraft: Cataclysm).
