A Terrorguard stands in the rain stoically, with a tattered leather coat draped around him, reminiscent of Roy Batty from Blade Runner. Being a Terrorguard, he has a mouth and eyes on his chest, which are glowing. As for his head above his chest, his eyes are closed, and he has huge horns and long white hair. He has a tied beard, and his wings are spread out, and he wears bracers with spiky runes and dark pants. His arms and chest are bare, and his whole body is drenched in the rain. There are city lights reflecting in the slick ground underneath him.

Batty Terrorguard
A muscular Orc with cybernetic augmentations, styled after a pirate, leans towards the viewer, with one leg and one arm held forward. He has a mechanical, hooked hand crossed in front of him, and he wears a leather duster with one arm ripped off to accommodate his cybernetic lower arm. The left side of his head is framed with silver mechanical parts, running from his jaw to his eye, and he has a red lens where his eye would be. He wears one hooped earring, and on the top of his head he wears a black bandana with a skull on it, emphasizing his pirate motif (along with the replacement eye and hooked hand). On his cybernetic lower arm is a large metal hook with thick red trim, and a cable feeding into his muscled upper arm. In the background are stone walls and hazy city lights.

Gritty Headhunter
 
Bob the Bartender, a muscular man, holds up an ornate silver blade, smiling warmly at the viewer and raising an eyebrow. He is in a tavern, presumably his bar, and has one hand on his hip while the other holds the sword up proudly. He has dark skin, mutton chops, and a moustache, with a shaved head. He wears a vest, a shirt with rolled up arms, a large belt, and trousers. His sword has runes along the center, with a winged silver crossguard. Behind him are two large barrels, with drinking vessels placed on the shelf above them.

Bob the Bartender
Jim Raynor walks towards the viewer in his hulking Space Marine armor. He holds a thick, smoking rifle, and his visor is open, showing his face. He has a short beard, medium-length black hair, and looks to be in his 40s. His armor is black instead of the customary blue of the space marines, and has a skeletal Zerg decal on his left shoulder. The armor plates are round, almost like enormous muscles, and there are two lights on the chestpiece. Raynor stands in a dusty, rocky environment, and above him a Battlecruiser floats stoically in the sky, with planets and a starfield behind it.

Jim Raynor
A quillboar with wraparound, monocular sunglasses glasses pulls a huge wheelie on a highly advanced motorbike. He is pumping one gauntleted, chrome fist in the air, and dirt is kicking up behind his motorcyle. He has a leather jacket with ripped off sleeves, fingerless gloves, and bare feet. From the top of his head, and running down his back, he has the large distinctive spines of a Quillboar. The motorbike has large, fat tires, and has glowing grooves on the front, matching his gauntlet, which has wires running from it towards the motorbike. The ground is sandy and rocky, as if he is enveloped in a sandstorm.

Turbo Hogrider
 
Exarch Akama is a muscular Draenei, swinging two large bladed kama above his head, as he fights off two alien, feline creatures on either side of him. He wears robes and a hood, with sturdy shoulder pads and bracers. The kama, as well as his thick, spiked shoulder pads have runes etched in them, and he wears a large belt. His Draenei hooves are exposed. The felines have many spines, with thick, bony protrusions which are almost mask-like around their faces, with their eyes being barely visible. Behind Akama is a dusty, rocky landscape, with a planet, its moon, and a nebula with stars in the background.

Exarch Akama
Exarch Hataaru raises a crackling staff in the foreground, with his other hand open, standing atop a mound of glowing crystals. This piece is reminiscent of a movie poster, with a collage of elements superimposed behind Hataaru: Gul'Dan's face and shoulders to the left of Hataaru, a female Draenei on the right, a Draenei city below her, and Draenei starships leaving a planet above him. Exarch Hataaru has a gold orb for his left eye, and a huge pauldron on his left shoulder. His leather armor is richly ornamented, and he wears a flowing cape.

Exarch Hataaru
Sarah Kerrigan, in her deinfested human form, stands confidently with her arms at her sides, hands slightly raised. Behind her is a collage of Zerg characters, including Abathur on the right, the Overmind on the left, and a Hydralisk below them. Kerrigan wears a futuristic, skin-tight suit, and has dreadlocks tied up above her head. Abathur has long, slender limbs, a chitinous form, and glowing sacs around his body, while the Overmind is like a large, fleshy eye, with a plus-shaped, glowing pupil, surrounded by tentacles. The Hydralisk is grinning and has one scythe-like claw reaching outward.

Kerrigan
 
Leeroy Jenkins, a Paladin with white hair, dives into a clutch of dragon whelps and their eggs, his sword raised in one hand and a drumstick with a bite taken out of it raised in the other, as if it is a weapon. He has a large moustache and full beard, as well as a ponytail. His thick plate armor has a gold trim and he wears a tabard with a heart on it, despite his open-mouthed, battle-ready expression. Below him, fire and embers rise up around the baby dragons and spiked eggs.

Leeroy Jenkins
Rafaam, an Ethereal, strides forward confidently with red lightning crackling in one outstretched hand. He has ornate, winged jewelry with an Egyptian motif on his other fist, and some of the wraps around his body are unraveling, rising into the air. His cloak and waistcloth are tattered at the bottom, and the energy inside of him glows with power. His eyes burn at the viewer, shrouded in darkness, and he wears a feather crest on his forehead.

Arch-Villain Rafaam
Catacomb Crasher, a Ghoul with wispy white hair, bursts through rock with his arm reaching towards the viewer, a huge candelabra lifted up in his other hand. He is lit starkly from one side by the candelabra, and he has glowing eyes and pale, shriveled skin, with ribs and lower spine exposed. His fingers are clawed and his mouth is open with huge fangs. Behind him is a gothic window with an elven appearance, possibly of Venthyr design, and small rocks sail through the air as dust settles around him.

Catacomb Crasher
 
Maestra, a female orc, holds a smoking, glowing theater mask with light emanating from its eyes and mouth. Behind her is a wall with wooden carved masks of a Troll, Draenei, and Orc. She has long hair on one side of her head, and is slightly smiling. She holds the mask with one hand confidently, the other at her side. She has ornate, close fitting leather armor, likely that of a Rogue, and wears a necklae with a small skull and teeth. Her biceps and forearms are exposed, showing her muscles.

Maestra, Mask Merchant
Cookie is a grinning Murloc resting calmly in a boiling cauldron on a beach, as if it is a jacuzzi. His arms and legs are hanging outside of the small cauldron, with one arm behind his head, as his body rests inside the liquid. He has cucumbers covering his eyes, and wears a pirate hat with Demon Hunter runes on it, as well as striped shorts. Resting on his belly is a drink in a coconut, with a little umbrella and a straw in it, which he is drinking from. He looks utterly relaxed despite the peril of the cauldron. Around him is a beautiful beach with palm trees and a rock formation in the background.

Carefree Cookie
Incindius is a Lava Elemental, rising out of a volcano. His eyes are glowing and narrowed. Connected to his large hands are round metal bracelets, and the lower half of his body drips with bright lava, oozing into the volcano underneath him. Behind him are billowing dark clouds from the volcano, lit from underneath by the fiery rocks and lava.

Incindius
 
Akali, a Drakkari Rhino, yells into a microphone on a stand, and cracks the stage with his massive hooves. He has the deeply creased, rough skin of a rhino, a green mohawk on his back, and is otherwise covered in flowing white fur, showing his age and distinction. On his sides are four blocks of a stony stereo system, and the top of his head and back are lined with horns that are dark at the tips. He has a spiked bracelet around one foreleg and one horn, with chains around his other foreleg, and tattered leather clothing around his body. Behind him are glaring stage lights and small bits of debris.

Akali, Rock Rhino
Adrenaline Fiend, a Terrorguard demon, grins as he rides a motorcycle off a high cliff, with clouds in the background. Fortunately, he has wings! He has a glowing mouth on his stomach, and an eyepatch, and is opening his mouth wide and grinning. His hands clutch the handlebars of the cruiser-style motorcycle, which appears Gnome or Goblin-made, and the back seat of the motorcyle holds an anchor and a shield with crossed swords and a horned skull. Strapped behind him is a cutlass in a scabbard. His wings are spread, and he has many horns growing from his head. The motorcycle kicks up dust and rocks from the rock, as Adrenaline Fiend soars over the edge. The background is a cloudy, blue sky.

Adrenaline Fiend
Arid Atrocity is an amalgam with the hulking frame of an Earth Elemental, and many body parts from various Battlegrounds minion types. Large streams of sand and rocks fall from his body as he rises from the desert. He has the head of a Dragon, with a metal jaw, tentacles and reptilian frills around his head, demonic horns on his back, a single bat wing, one hand with a giant hook, a Murloc arm coming out of his chest, and tentacles for his lower body. Circling his huge biceps are the metal bands with glowing runes typical of Earth Elementals. Around him is a dense dust storm.

Arid Atrocity
 
The giant serpent Baku towers above a gnarled forest and mountains, rising up above the moon in the background. Baku's body and finns coil up in the lower part of the frame, shifting tall trees around them, and his body rises in the center of the frame, his mouth open and eyes glowing, facing the full moon. His mouth steams with energy, and aside from his huge fins along the back of his body, he has two frilled fins behind his jaw. In the background is a moonlit mountain range.

Baku, The Mooneater
Dr. Boom pilots a mech in a boxing ring, with a mechanical rocket fist firing off of his mech's right arm. The mech has a large, rotund body and large forearms, with comparatively smaller legs that widen towards the feet. The mech has multiple tentacles rising up from its shoulders, and one crackles with electricity. In the bottom left of the frame is a boom bot, a walking bomb, gazing at Dr. Boom.
Wreck 'Em and Deck 'Em
Genn Greymane, a Worgen, hefts a large one-handed sword onto his right shoulder, his left hand clawed. His piercing eyes look directly at the viewr, and he has a huge coat with the patterning of the Alliance, which is tattered at its lower edges. He has 4 large braids in his beard with golden ornaments, and his sword is engraved with a flowing pattern. He has one foot up on a gnarled branch, and behind him is a Gilnean city, with the moon rising above his shoulders.

Genn Greymane
 
The Hateful Hag is an undead ogre with a single horn, who flies through the air, reminiscent of a witch, holding a wooden stick with both hands. Her pose makes it appear like she is rowing through the air, and the stick is perhaps used for churning butter. She sits inside a large barrel, suspended in midair. Her eyes are glowing, and she is wearing a short shawl around her shoulders with a golden bracelet on her right hand. In the background is a twisted treeline and bats flying above, enhancing the witch-like imagery.

Hateful Hag
The Grave Narrator is an undead human wearing a fancy, but decaying suit in a candlelit crypt, reading from a book and grinning at the viewer. Their eyes are glowing, and they have tufts of wispy white hair growing from their head. They sit on a metal throne with a plush cushion, and the arms of the throne have carved, dragon-like arms. Atop the throne are a few melting candles. In the background is a torch, cobblestone walls, and a drapery of cobwebs above.

Grave Narrator
The Persistent Poet is a mature Emerald Dragon, holding a book in one hand with another hand raised, with his eyes closed and mouth open. It appears he is laughing at what he has just read. He has tiny spectacles atop his snout, and a white beard on his chin. He has four horns, two large wings, and a spined fin running across his underside. He sits on a branch as he reads a humble leather book, and the background appears to be the Emerald Dream, with beautiful plants, misty air, swirling vines and elegant trees around him.

Persistent Poet
 
Shudderblock is a wooden toy version of Shudderwock, stomping across a creepy woodland floor at night. Shudderblock appears to be rather large, stomping on books and toys while kicking up dust under its feet. Shudderblock has two eyes, two horns, a crest like a fish fin, wings, clawed hands, and tentacles around their open mouth. At the connections around their joints, screws are visible inset into the wood. In the background are twisting trees, a wooden staircase, and small hanging lights.

Shudderblock
Toyrantus is a toy dinosaur in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, specifically a toy version of Tyrantus. They have a large head, a bandage on their upper thigh, and many of their joints have gaps and segments to indicate that they are assembled out of wood or plastic. They are stepping forward, and roaring with their mouth open. In the background is a sunset and soft grass, with rocky mountains, torches, bushes, and cutout shapes of palm trees behind Toyrantus.
Toyrantus
A mechanical version of the Orc Shaman, Hagatha, stirs a bubbling cauldron with a small dragon being dissolved inside. She wears a hood, metal bracers in the shape of rough leather, and has one pauldron visible with a light bulb sticking out of the top.

Hagatha the Fabled
 
Gunslinger Kurtus is a Demon Hunter wearing a wide brimmed hat, with two curved, sharp horns poking through the hat, as well as long white hair underneath. He holds two pistols with curved, elaborate blades attached to them on the top and bottom, with fel fire rising up from them. He wears a high collar covering the bottom of his face, skulls on his shoulders, and colorful clothing covering the rest of his body. He stands in a windswept desert with a building nearby.

Gunslinger Kurtrus
Slagmaw the Slumbering is a huge creature who is shaped like a salamander, whose body is made up of lava and rock. Lava drips from their mouth and body, and their claws, eyes, and mouth burn especially brightly with lava. Around them is a rocky canyon with a doorway to a mine on the upper right, and a lava flow underneath them.

Slagmaw the Slumbering
Kingpin Pud is a cyclopean ogre in a cowboy outfit, with a wide hat and a cape, looking down and giving the viewer a scowl. He has both of his huge hands on his belt, and on his coat are several mismatched sheriff's stars, with bullet holes through the center of them. He has a gun on his hip, and all of his clothes are riddled with bullet holes, perhaps implying he has scavenged them and the sheriff's stars from fallen foes in a shootout.

Kingpin Pud
 
The Ravenous Kraken towers above the sea, with a Kvaldir wrapped in its tentacles. The Kraken has four eyes and bumpy, scaly skin. Curtains of water fall from the Kraken's four visible tentacles, and the waves around them are tumultuous, with a storm in the background.

Ravenous Kraken
Maruut Stonebinder is a Tauren Shaman holding a large totem, flanked by two Earth Elementals with flaming heads. His shoulder armor is aflame as well, and he has a crest with a glowing gem in the center of his helmet. He wears a mix of scale and plate armor, and his free hand is clenched into a fist. The Totem he holds is as tall as he is, with two small carved wings at the top. The Earth elementals are made of a collection of floating rocks, and Maruut stands on a lone pillar in a misty canyon.

Maruut Stonebinder
 
The Titan-Forged Ra-den strikes a dynamic pose, hand outstretched towards the viewer, blasting lightning out of his palm. He wears thick leather armor with an exposed chest, with glowing tattoos. His eye glows like his lightning magic, and behind him is more lightning and stormy clouds.

Ra-den
The two headed Ogre Mage, Cho'Gall, slams a spiked, cylindrical mace into a giant spectral chain, breaking it. He has two heads, as he is an Ogre, and his muscular body has numerous large snake-like eyes bulging out of his skin. Rock like spines appear from his back, and he holds dark, twisting magical energy in his other hand. The ears on his cyclopean head have morphed into fins, and he has an X-shaped scar on his chest. One of his heads laughs maniacally while the other looks forward menacingly.

Cho'Gall, Twilight Chieftain
Hodir, Father of Giants, a Titanic Watcher, towers over an icy landscape, his left arm outstretched in a pointing motion roughly towards the viewer, but high above their head. His skin matches the environment, as if he were hewn from ice, his beard appears to be made of rock, and he wears heavy armor save for his exposed chest and arms. On his belt is a huge, tusked skull with a glowing mouth and eyes.

Hodir, Father of Giants
 
The Boogie Monster, a tentacled giant with three eyes, dances jauntily in a fancy suit and top hat, holding a cane. He is smiling, and appears very happy. He is lifting the top hat above his head, and orcs, goblins, and blood elves in the audience run away from him as earth and rocks are kicked up. Behind him is a sunset and mountains, as well as a large, indistinct audience.

The Boogie Monster
Octosari, an enormous octopus, wears sunglasses, a red hat, and a gold chain with a Hearthstone symbol, and is holding multiple giant microphones and a boombox, as if he is rapping (or wrapping). Around him is a desert with rocks and sand being heaved into the air from the sheer power of his beats.

Octosari, Wrap God
The Boommobile, a goblin monster truck, speeds over a desert landscape, kicking up bones. It has tires with huge treads, and a spiked maw at the front with a drill underneath it. On top is a flaming rocket, and an articulated metal arm with a spike shooting an icy ray. A boom-bot also stands precariously on the hood, with an expression of surprise. The Boommobile's exhaust vents are shooting out flames, and the ground is curved with an exaggerated perspective to indicate speed.

The Boommobile
 
The Withered Spearhide is an undead Quillboar in the midset of battle, with their right arm outstretched, having just thrown a spear, visible in the top of the frame, and their left arm holding a bladed spear back, and above their head. Their skin is taut and veined, with many spiked quills poking out like a porcupine. They are wearing tattered pants and wrist wraps, and they are pictured in gloomy moonlight.

Withered Spearhide
A large bipedal demon roars towards the viewer, half crouched and fists clenched, as their body is wrapped in ethereal chains from multiple angles. They have horns, hooves, and three-fingered hands, with sharp fangs and glowing horns.

Round Up the Suspects
A dragon of the Black Dragonflight looks down menacingly, with two trolls held in their hands who are struggling to escape, their weapons dropped to the ground below. Flames are emanating from the Obsidian Ravager's mouth, and they have glowing eyes, four horns, and outstretched wings. The Obsidian Ravager appears to be in a sort of mage tower, with glowing lights, ornate stonework, and crystal balls around them.

Obsidian Ravager
