Already shows that at least one old god race has left Azeroth, could mean they could be carriers of the curse.

Or not have been native to start with.

Which does nothing but reinforce my point that the curse of flesh, or maybe more accurate to call it the curse of morality something that has been actively spread across creation.

I don't think its a case of flesh being weaker than steel/stone/iron, but rather that it's easier for the Old Gods to mold.

Actually, it's been stated by the Titan's that they are made of Dead Light, to some extent but are totally manifest flesh.

Well the phrase was "necrophotic beings", but whether they're literally made of "Dead Light" or that's just a descriptor is up in the air.

Begs the question of other types of curses too....

Hmmm....

Wrath showed it was reversable, with the whole turning gnomes back into mechagnomes, and then "recursing them" to gnomes. Stoneform for dwarves is a temporary "reversal" of the curse too.

The Titans said "parasitic, necrophotic symbiotes":
a parasitic relationship is the opposite of a symbiotic one. Titans aren't very good at biology, but that's more writer error than anything else, (and so too, could "necrophotic").
