Wyrmkin — winged guardians of the dragonflights
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Wyrmkin are winged upright dragonkin whose blood runs closest to a true dragon's among all the humanoid flight servants. Unlike the ground-bound dragonspawn, who lean on spear and shield, wyrmkin fly and wield the magic of their flight. They fight as battle mages and aerial guardians — the elite of the dragon kind's humanoid branch.
Do not treat a wyrmkin as ordinary infantry. It strikes with spells from range and can soar above the line — interrupt its casts and never let it take the high ground.

| Trait | Dragonspawn | Wyrmkin |
