Strategy[edit]
This minion can potentilly offer high value, especially in Quest Warrior deck. It initially has identical stats to Fen Creeper, but shuffles a stat-efficient Taunt into your deck. It can be seen as a weaker version of White Eyes.
Since both Direhorns have Taunt, this card synergises with Fire Plume's Heart. It's also a strong inclusion for decks running N'Zoth for the purpose of board control.
Lore[edit]
From Wowpedia:
- Direhorns are three-horned dinosaurs found mainly on the Isle of Giants and the Isle of Thunder. These saurian titans populate many islands in the South Seas.
- The Zandalari breed specific direhorn species for their small size for use as mounts. A common coming-of-age rite among the Zandalari is to travel to one of the violent, beast-ruled islands near the capital to steal or subdue a wild creature, such as a direhorn or devilsaur. Before a Zandalari sets out to tame a direhorn, they are known to traditionally carve sigils into their arm with ceremonial horns, speak to a bestial loa, drink a wild draught, wear a twin-tusk mask, and "roar with the inner voice".
- Even at a tiny size, direhorns are known to wreak havoc on unsuspecting victims. There is an old Zandalari saying about wild direhorns: "Run!
In Peter Whalen's opinion, the Direhorn Hatchling's Deathrattle effect represents it running off to seek shelter with its mother, and the shuffle effect represents that it takes a while to find her.[1][2]
