And unfortunately I come bearing a Warcraft Sue known as Lunastrasza.
Her crimes include being the Aspect of Light AND an uber-speshul daughter of Alexstrasza and Korialstrasz, being an incredibly violent and ill-tempered Red, shoving a tauren into a cage for talking about something she wasn't in the mood to discuss, calling Lor'themar, Halduron, and Rommath her advisors, turning Lor'themar into a slavering, awkward teenager, being married to Lor'themar... the list goes on.
A tumblrbuddy put Lunastrasza through the Warcraft litmus test. She scored 179, apparently. -

As for the Sue... I hope someone feeds her to Deathwing (my knowledge of Warcraft is pretty spotty, but I at least know of that...) -
The only Warcraft boss I know is C'thun... by

But I'm pretty sure nobody's fed a Sue to that yet either. C'thun might be even better; it is an eldritch abomination, after all, and it's got a colossal maw full of pointy teeth.

Better than C'thun? by

C'thun is fun and all, but he is mostly made of eyes. If you want to feed something to something else, then pick a monster that is made for it. Like Yogg-Saron:
Look at that guy. He's an Old God, like C'thun, and even his eyes are made of teeth.

Wow. That's at least nine colossal maws. by

Therefore, he beats C'thun out nine times over in one of the only two criteria I picked him for!
I should probably let people that know the continuum decide these things instead, huh? There's always going to be something crazier, and if I don't know what I'm looking for, I'm going to miss it. -

I was actually just wondering where you'd gotten to! Good to have you back :)

Just how many of these are OCs? by

I know nothing about World of Warcraft other than the most basic of basic information, so forgive me if this seems brusque, but are those six names you mentioned representative of what the entire naming system is? From my perspective, it looks like Kingdom Hearts and Boggle had a baby.
I suppose Halduron and Rommath aren't bad, especially not Halduron, but how is Alexstrasza even pronounced? a-LEX-trass-ZUH? No, that doesn't seem right, either. I haven't flinched that much from non-meshing consonants since the Eye of Argon's Mrifk, which still holds the record for least-effective consonant meshing because it's Eye of Argon and so of course it does. -
As EF said, each culture has different naming conventions. by

There are many, many races in World of Warcraft, with many, many cultures, so, no, the entire cast of characters does not follow the same naming convention.
And Alexstrasza is pronounced AH-lex-STRAH-sah. -

The only OC is Lunastrasza. Everyone else a mentioned (barring the tauren) is a canon character.

So yeah, each culture follows its own naming convention.
Also, sz is a perfectly valid combination of letters. In this case, I think it's pronounced like an ß. (That's an Eszet.) -

Ouch, that sounds like a bad one. I'm not really familiar with WoW, unfortunately, but I know litmus tests, and that's a heck of a score. Good luck, whoever's taking that one on.

I just started reading, but wooow. This feels just so wrong. All these characters crammed into the space around her.

She just sounds delightful. Should I be surprised that she is collecting Blood Elves? I don't think so.
Interesting to note, you rarely find full-dragon!Sues. You usually only get half-dragons. I guess that this one is a full-dragon because there is no reason not to be in a world where the dragons all run around in humanoid forms all the time.
So, do you have designs on this one, Kitty?

The only designs I have involve sending Veralyn in there to see how she reacts to Lor'themar being treated like a fumbling teenager who just discovered hormones.
Someone else may have to take the lead on this one, honestly. I fear for my sanity if I try to lead the charge. -

That's a painful name. I know nothing about warcraft (and am known to sneak up behind buddies playing it ant ask questions such as "why are you a panda?" and "Ooh, what's that - Kill it!") but that's still an incredibly painful sue name and score.
