螳螂人

在泰坦整頓艾澤拉斯秩序之時，他們發現艾澤拉斯的原住民在信仰着一種邪惡生物——上古之神。泰坦和上古之神展開了激烈的戰鬥，最終幾個上古之神都被封印了。泰坦們便繼續整頓艾澤拉斯秩序，離開了艾澤拉斯。

隨後的時間裏，上古之神的力量不斷溢出，對整個世界造成了污染。

螳螂人崇拜的是上古之神，七個頭的亞剎極(英文為Y'Shaarj)，而且螳螂人應該和其拉蟲人以及艾卓-尼魯布蟲人是遠親，而且貌似給將來的古神迴歸留下了伏筆。

右邊是簡體版本的對話內容：（注意對話中提到的亞剎極的七位頭領）

"Wakener, your deeds have earned you the trust of the Klaxxi.

You are to be rewarded. Walk with me.

We mantid are an elder race. The pandaren you associate with, they are but children. They have their role to play.

Each cycle, our young swarm their walls. The pandaren slay the weak. The strong return.

With each generation, we grow ever stronger.

Before your history began, our empire was vast. We shared this world with our sister kingdoms, Ahn'Qiraj and Azjol-Nerub.

Our gods were many and powerful.We mantid worshiped the Seven Heads of Y'Shaarj.

Great was the Old One, and terrible was his wrath. He consumed hope and begat despair. He inhaled courage and breathed fear.

When the Usurpers came, the ones you call Titans, Y'Shaarj was destroyed.

His last terrible breath has haunted this land ever since, but the shadows he left behind are mere whispers of his former glory.

I tell you know because you have earned this warning.

Your gods are not YOUR gods, outsider.

If the Old Ones ever return, we mantid will once again stand by their side.

The wisest among you will do the same.

That is all that needs to be said. Come, take your reward, and remember what you have learned today."
