Tauren
The Tauren are huge, bestial creatures who live in the grassy, open barrens of central Kalimdor. They live to serve nature and maintain the balance between the wild things of the land and the restless spirit of the elements. Despite their enormous size and brute strength, the remarkably peaceful Tauren cultivate a quiet, tribal society. However, when roused by conflict, Tauren are implacable enemies who will use every ounce of their strength to smash their enemies under hoof.
Under the leadership of their ancient chief, Cairne Bloodhoof, the Tauren allied themselves with the Orcs during the invasion of the Burning Legion. The two races have remained steadfast allies ever since. Like the Orcs, the Tauren struggle to retain their sense of tradition and noble identity.

Expanded Information
Characteristics
Tauren are Minotaurs, a race of beings with the head of a bull and the body of a man. Covered in fur, the Tauren are usually brownish in color and stand at impressive heights, possessing amazing amounts of strength and endurance.
Lifestyles
These bull-men lead an honorable, courageous, and simplistic life. Their ancient shamanistic ways are not unlike the old ways of the Orcs, which coincidentally, the Tauren are helping them reclaim. Tauren live in tribes, which are ruled by powerful Chieftains who not only lead them in battle, but also in day-to-day life. It was these Chieftains that became interested in the Orcs and their new leader, Thrall, and sought to help them return to their old ways before the corruption of the Burning Legion turned them into savage monsters.
Technology
The technological aspects of the Tauren culture are somewhat unknown at this time. It is assumed that they possess limited forging abilities, which is evident in the powerful warblades that their Chieftains carry into battle.
Art of War
Tauren excel in the art of warfare. Their combination of brute strength and incredible cunning make them a formidable opponent for any race. As in life, their Chieftains lead them in battle as well, wielding powerful magical warblades.
