They are interesting, but I'm still not sold on the idea that the Draenei used crystal tech as part of the Eredar beyond the 7 Ata'mai crystals... and even then, there's references to those being Naaru items they seeded on the planet heh.
But yeah, the hooves would make sense, they are more like high altitude animal's feet then something from the lowlands(compare a cow hoof to a goat or ram's). The tail's... who knows with that heh. The horns are probably just leftovers from when they were evolving, growing smaller over time; compare one of the in-game Man'ari females to a Draenei. Tendrils and crests on the males might end up just being there for looks.
As for the evolution heh, that's hard to tell; look at Velen, he's been alive for 40 thousand years(possibly), so who knows long they were evolving before that point.
Tails could be used for general balance, as well as (depending on flexibility, which it doesn't seem like they have much) to grip rocks when climbing very steep slopes. Actually, old Eredar (Non man'ari) seem to be a lot more flexible, which perhaps means they've retreated off the mountains in recent years?

Rise of the Horde
makes it clear that jewelcrafting is nothing new to them.
But yeah, the hooves would make sense, they are more like high altitude animal's feet then something from the lowlands(compare a cow hoof to a goat or ram's).Seeing as
the mountains of Argus
have been mentioned many a time...yeah. Although I've still kind of gotta wonder about the boys' much wider hooves. (Although that could just be a matter of more body mass necessitating more of a base to stand on.) The tail's... who knows with that heh.I still say primarily balance. The horns are probably just leftovers from when they were evolving, growing smaller over time; compare one of the in-game Man'ari females to a Draenei.Some of the horn styles for female draenei are rather sizable. However, it doesn't seem too unlikely that fel corruption might cause horns to grow somewhat. Tendrils and crests on the males might end up just being there for looks.Crests, yes. Tendrils...those look a bit too much like atrophied barbels.
As for the evolution heh, that's hard to tell; look at Velen, he's been alive for 40 thousand years(possibly), so who knows long they were evolving before that point.It's still fun to speculate. :D

... being killed for the greater good.Sorry for re-derailing this, but the greater good argument is very foggy and flawed. Utalitarianism (greatest good for the greatest number) logically justifies gang-rape, because more people are getting pleasure than one who is getting despair. I know this is a pretty polar example, but it backs up the point that the Titans are really cold-hearted and have little regard for life.
D'you know what could also be argued as the greatest good? The Pantheon not being around at all, letting chaos rule. After all, trillions of lives would be saved; right? No man'ari eredar, and then all of the draenei are happy living in Argus. ^_^

Archimonde, Kil'Jaeden and all Eredar are called Man'ari Eredar now....you know: Corrupted; KJ gained wings through the Fel corruption, Archimonde was supposedly 'beautiful' by Eredar standards.
If you want to have an idea of what the original Eredar looked like, you'd be better off looking at Velen; after all, he's been alive for 40 thousand years or more. Also mammaries are the best indicator that Draenei are mammals.

The only problem there is that EVERY fantasy humanoid race will ALWAYS have them, no matter how little sense it makes. (And even non-fantasy ones, like giant robot women.)
Other than that: Necromancy skill has increased by 4.

Not all of them; just the majority that are built around sex appeal lol; John Carter doesn't on the egg laying Green Martians(though the Red Ones((aka the other human looking ones)) do).

Draenei are space-goats.
