A Tauren, dwarf or troll.

But hopefully not a Gnome

I've seen fan models of a draenei... which is I think a little ridiculous.

Id be more inclined to say Dwarf, just due to them being closely related to archaeology and it makes sense in my head. But for all we know it could be a species from another time line.

Batman.

Well Alex should always have been a Dwarf, IMO.

Maly should have been a Troll.

Ysera can be a Night Elf I guess.

I'm cool with Nozdormu being a Draenei.

That would be so bad-ass...

I guess dragons choose their shape by their personality. Most female would like to be awesome beautiful, thus they go elf disguise.

I really hope Nozdormu doesn't go for a gnome. Anyway, I guess every single aspect will get his own new unique model, just like Alexstrasza.

-Ysera is fine as a night elf, considering her relationship with them.
-Alexstrasza is ok with the, er, whatever she is. She's pretty, and that's all.
-Malygos is ok with a elf or whatever he is, since I highly doubt he could be a high elf during that time. Perhaps it was just an omen for the future of the highborne.
-Deathwing is fine as human.

Anyway, a pity they didn't elaborate more on Malygos, and give him a proper shape-model.

Definitely.

Nozdormu is evil, laughing at us with that bad draeneredar joke.

Evil liztard!!

Malygos was described as being some kinda weird, constantly shifting spider thing. His model in Ulduar should've been at least a nerubian.

Well, my reasoning is that the draenei aren't a part of Azeroth's history until only a couple of years ago, and unless we've been misdirected Nozdormu is Azeroth's guardian of time. I feel like he would have grown accustomed to a form already, if indeed he even sees fit to assume one.

correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they all in their natural forms during the infusion of the dragon/demon soul?

They didn't want to make the Deathwing model early, I guess.

Or the raid designers had no real knowledge of the event beyond the general outline that one of the interns copy/pasted off wowwiki for them, and so just gave them all humanish models.

A paunchy, middle-aged man with balding around the crown and a patchy beard. "Hey, it's the perfect disguise."

It would be kinda cool to see a dragon aspect turn into a form that doesn't scream "Behold my glory, mere mortals!" Hell, make it so he's a scholar wandering around one of the new CoT instances, perhaps masquerading as an lost old man wondering what trouble he got himself into, and where all these dragons came from. You help him survive the waves of angry infinites only to find that - Oh snap - he's the N man. You ask him why a being of fuch great power needed mortal aid to survive those assaults, and he spouts off some line about things being beyond mortal comprehension and gives you a nice pair of boots. He then returns to the majesty of his true form, leaving you clutching your new footwear with one hand, and scratching your head in confusion with the other.

Maybe Yogg Saron remembers it wrong.

Did humans even exist 10 000 years ago?

And an older, unkempt dwarf would be cool for Noz.

Yes they were, just finished re-reading the Demon Soul yesterday. They didn't even put all their powers in at the same time. Although Alexstrasz, Malygos, and Ysera watched and Deathwing had each dragon give part of their essence, the event took place over a decently long period of time. Though its hard to get an exact time period just from reading I would say it was several days atleast. Malygos was the first to donate a portion of himself. Alexstrasz and Ysera were in the middle somewhere. Nozodormu wasn't there so his consort brought a portion of his essence, a golden glowing hourglass, which they broke and the demon soul absorbed the magic sand. Korialstrasz was last. At no time during any of this was a single dragon in anything but their dragon forms.

I believe so. We witness visions of the birth of humanity due to the curse of flesh, and during it Ymiron makes references to the titans. That indicates to me that it was relatively shortly after the one of the pantheon's visits, for them to have remembered.
Also, the Vrykul have only recently come out of hibernation. The Earthen displayed similar behavior after the sundering, when they retreated to their cities in order to escape the planet's pain. So, assuming the Vrykul slept after the sundering, we can assume that humans are older than ten millenia.

An hourglass.

Baby New Year

That would be the ultimate surprise to an enemy next to "Evil Puppy" from Conan.

New Year Baby Murloc?
But if they slept after, wouldn't they be younger?
