[[caption-width-right:280:Let's get right to the ''point''.[[note]]Point that thing some place else![[/note]]]]
A gnomish short order cook-turned-agent of SI:7. Once the most sought-after cook in the Eastern Kingdoms, Agent Cutterbutter was recruited after Matthias Shaw and the other spies of Stormwind Intelligence caught wind of his unmatched talent with a knife. Times have become stressful for Stormwind as of late, what with King Varian missing, calls for help from Redridge and Darkshire going unanswered, and most mysteriously, a glowing object in the sky exploding and raining shards of light across the land. A concerned member of the royal court has hired mercenaries to search for these shards, and SI:7 wants to know more. As such, Scabbs has been dispatched to the Barrens to investigate.\\

Four Scabbs portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''United in Stormwind''; Chef Scabbs, Agent Scabbs (pictured), Investigator Scabbs, and Undercover Scabbs.\\

* DropTheHammer: His enourmous flaming hammer [[NamedWeapons Sulfuron]].

* BloodMagic: Technically it's anima magic, which is the red liquid-like essence of a soul that he drinks. His hero power animation shows anima eminating around his portrait to grant him armor.

* BadassBaritone: He speaks in a deep, booming voice that befits a noble god such as himself. It draws a very likely intentional parallel to [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Mufasa]].

[[caption-width-right:270:Do not get in my way.[[note]]I would not dream of it.[[/note]]]]

Kurtrus initially led a modest life, tending to a moonwell and caring for his family. During the Third War however, the dreadlord Tichondrius corrupted Kurtrus' serene forest into the Felwood. Those who resisted were slain by demon armies led by Tichondrius's brother, Anetheron, and only Kurtrus was able to survive the slaughter. Illidan would take in the outcast, forging him and others like him into the Illidari. One day, Kurtrus had a vision of Anetheron, alive and biding his time in the Twisting Nether, as well as a warlock in Kalimdor determined to summon him. With this, he abandoned the Illidari. Stripped of his armor and warglaives, Kurtrus now arrives in the Barrens on a personal quest of vengeance, determined to stop the warlock before it's too late.\\

Three Kurtrus hero portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''Forged in the Barrens''; Initiate Kurtrus, Adept Kurtrus (pictured), and Trainer Kurtrus. A fourth portrait, Vengeant Kurtrus, was available for purchase during ''Voyage to the Sunken City''.\\

He returns once again with a "corrupted" variant in ''Whispers of the Old Gods'' as an 8/8 Paladin legendary minion who ''can'' attack and heals a damaged ally for 8 health at the end of his owners turn.

The king of Ironforge and Khaz Modan, eldest of the Bronzebeard brothers. Magni Bronzebeard is the first dwarf hero and purchasable hero for the warrior class.\\
\\
His alternate skins include Greatfather Winter Magni, Shipwrecked Magni, and Roaster Magni.

* BadassSanta: He takes the role of Santa Claus, err, [[{{Expy}} Greatfather Winter]] in his alt skin. What else do you call the king of Ironforge dressed up and handing out presents to kids?
* DropTheHammer: Uses Hammers. Ironically, at the time of his release, only one of the warrior weapons was a hammer - everything else was some form of axe.
* DualWielding: His portrait shows him with two hammers.

[[caption-width-right:229:There is a simplicity in inevitability.[[note]]It's like you've fought yourself before![[/note]]]]

The first of the venthyr created by Sire Denathrius, who Renathal considers to be his father. Despite this relationship, Renathal would eventually consider Denathrius to not be acting in Revendreth's best interests, and therefore conspired against him and formed a rebellion. Renathal was available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass and reached level 50 on the Rewards Track during ''Murder at Castle Nathria''.\\

Prince Renathal is also a 3 mana 3/4 neutral legendary from ''Murder at Castle Nathria'' that sets your deck size to 40 and your maximum starting health to 35.

* ActuallyNotAVampire: He's a member of the venthyr, who have pale skin, red eyes, PointyEars, fangs, drink crimson "life essence" out of goblets, and turn into withered "Ash Ghouls" if they're exposed to the Light for too long. They are ''not'' vampires, though!
* ContinuityNod: Trying to attack without a weapon equipped will have him exclaim that he needs [[https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Vorpalia Vorpalia]].
* EquivalentExchange: Starting with 40 health is a huge boost to your survivability. In exchange, you also have to put in an extra ten cards which will likely be less good than the regular 30 (including a vanilla 3 mana 3/4), greatly hurting the deck's consistency.
* EvilBrit: He has a distinctly British accent, and while he's not strictly evil he does lean heavily into this trope for his mannerisms and shady motivations.
* IHateYouVampireDad: He started to suspect his "father" Denathrius' fall to darkness and was already planning a coup against him. This makes him Murloc Holmes' prime suspect.
-->'''Opening vs. Denathrius''': How far you have fallen, "Master".
* {{Nerf}}: Renathal used to increase your health to 40, but was one of the most played cards across both Standard and Wild since this was hardly a downside.

Upon arriving in Orgrimmar, she's tested and assigned to the elderly shaman Bru'kan, who while eccentric, is wise and capable enough to guide her through the proving ground that is the Barrens.\\

Three Rokara hero portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''Forged in the Barrens''; Young Rokara, Recruit Rokara, and Rokara of the Horde (pictured). A fourth portrait, Defiant Rokara, was available for purchase during ''Voyage to the Sunken City''.\\

\\
Faelin is also a neutral 4 mana 4/5 legendary from ''Voyage to the Sunken City'' that puts three random Colossal minions on the bottom of your deck.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He has a tendency to get distracted. For his Fire Festival greetings, he reaffirms that he needs to pay attention to the battle and not the pretty fireworks.
* BigFun: He's a rather overweight guy, but an absolute barrel of joy and wonder.
* DoomMagnet: Wherever Faelin goes, he seems to attract more huge monsters from the depths. This is represented by his ability shuffling Colossal minions into your deck for you to Dredge up.
* OriginalGeneration: He was made up for ''Hearthstone''.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's over 10,000 years old, and remembers when Zin-Azshari was still above the surface. You wouldn't be able to tell that from his absolute giddiness he has gushing over all the wonders under the sea.

An elderly Ancient of Lore. Hazelbark was available as part of the 2019 Winter Veil bundle.

* GrannyClassic: She has all the traits of this, including calling the player child and dearie.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She may be a kindly old lady, but she's also a powerful Ancient and a capable druid, and she ''will'' kick your ass if you fight her.
* OriginalGeneration: She was made up for ''Hearthstone''.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: She frequently forgets what she's doing, as shown by her Thinking and Oops emotes.
* TimeAbyss: Ancients are, well, ''[[MeaningfulName ancient]]'' creatures, and Hazelbark is implied to be much older than average. She remarks on how much Malfurion has grown when matched against him. Malfurion himself has been [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty immortal for over ten thousand years]].
* {{Treants}}: As an Ancient of Lore, she's a vaguely humanoid-shaped tree.

Kael'thas has also been collectible neutral Legendaries in multiple sets. In ''Ashes of Outland'', he is a 6 mana 4/7 that causes every third spell you cast each turn to cost 1 mana. In ''Murder at Castle Nathria'', Kael'thas Sinstrider, based on his appearance in the ''Shadowlands'' expansion, is also a 6 mana 4/7, but instead causes every third minion you play each turn to cost 0.

* {{Nerf}}: The minion's original effect set the cost of spells to 0 instead of 1, which allowed for disgusting SequenceBreaking. He also used to be seven mana for nearly two years, although the cost nerf was reverted for his Wild rotation.

Arthas was the prince of Lordaeron and a Knight of the Silver Hand during the outbreak of the Scourge. As the world crumbled around him, he fell into more and more desperate tactics, eventually shunning his mentor Uther and love interest Jaina. He then traveled to Northrend, and gave up his soul to wield Frostmourne and slay Mal'Ganis. He then became a pawn of the Scourge. After Ner'zhul was nearly killed by Illidan, he would don the Helm of Domination and become The Lich King. Arthas is awarded to players who defeat The Lich King with all nine classes in the Knights of the Frozen Throne adventure.\\

Lady Liadrin is the leader of the Blood Knights, the blood elf race's spin on the paladin class. She is an alternate hero for the Paladin class and is unlocked by attaining level twenty in ''World of Warcraft''.\\

* KillEmAll: He wipes the board clean when he's summoned. Mad Aspect can also clear out a good chunk of the board with his huge stats.

As a young girl, Sally Whitemane was forced to kill her own family after the undead Scourge slew and raised them. She later joined the Scarlet Crusade, an offshoot of the disbanded Order of the Silver Hand, in order to purge the world of the undead. Her fanatic passion let her rise quickly through the ranks, attaining the position of High Inquisitor. However, unbeknownst to Whitemane, the Scarlet Crusade was a CorruptChurch secretly run by the Dreadlords in a scheme to destroy the Scourge and Forsaken by any means. Whitemane will be available for purchase on an upcoming date.\\

Mal'Ganis is one of the nathrezim Dreadlords that served as The Lich King's jailers. He aided The Lich King in preparing Azeroth for the Legion's second invasion, created the Undead Plague in Lordaeron. Posing as the leader of the Scourge, he confronted Arthas in Stratholme, where he drove the prince into darkness, eventually manipulating him into becoming a death knight. However, The Lich King used this opportunity to slay Mal'Ganis and begin his own conquest. Mal'Ganis will be available for purchase on an upcoming date.\\

* AwesomeButImpractical: High Exarch Yrel is the legendary payoff card for the "Pure Paladin" archetype added in ''Descent of Dragons''. With the other support cards rotated out, running no neutrals just for Yrel is pointless, making the card essentially unplayable.

* DropTheHammer: The Hammer of the Naaru, an enormous mace made of crystal. It's also a collectible card from ''Darkmoon Faire'' that summons a 6/6 Holy Elemental with Taunt.

Prince Renathal is also a 3 mana 3/4 neutral legendary from ''Murder at Castle Nathria'' that sets your deck size and starting health to 40.

Denathrius is also a collectible neutral Legendary from ''Murder at Castle Nathria''. He is a 10 mana 10/10 with Lifesteal that deals 5 damage randomly split among all enemies. He also has an Infuse (1) that can be triggered endlessly, increasing the damage dealt by 1 each time.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: When played after he's been Infused, the minion proclaims "A toast! To all who sought to kill me! You failed," implying that whomever made the attempt on his life didn't do a good enough job.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's a charming, polite, and charismatic guy and is more than a little {{Camp}}, but don't let that distract you -- he's a truly evil schemer.

His alternate skins include Navigator Khadgar and Runemage Khadgar.

A half-orc, half-draenei assassin used as the Shadow Council's blade, a role she despised but could do nothing about due to a spell from Gul'dan. Although she tried to side with the humans, she was mind-controlled and forced to kill King Llane of Stormwind, allowing the orcs to win the First War. Although she largely disappeared into the shadows since then, she has since returned as a leader of the Uncrowned. Garona was made available in the shop with the launch of the ''Throne of the Tides'' mini-set.

The Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, and current leader of the Blood Elves. Initially, Lor'themar led them alongside Kael'thas Sunstrider, but following Kael's betrayal and eventual death, Lor'themar was left to lead his people alone, a job made easier thanks to the rebirth of the Sunwell... though the oncoming siege of Silvermoon by the Lich King will once again test Lor'themar's ability to weather the Blood Elves' darkest days. Lor'themar is available to players who pre-ordered the ''March of the Lich King'' mega bundle.\\

Her alternate skins include Nightborne Aranna, Felfireworks Aranna, and Songstress Aranna.

* {{Lunacy}}: If the player pick her as their Priest Hero, the Hero Power and Tyrande's entrance will have several moon motif appear on it. This a reference to her religion and power in the original game. This is also prominently featured in her character trailer.
* ReligiousBruiser: See her character trailer quote. Being a devoted priestess of Elune doesn't stop her to threaten anyone that harm her people. This is more prominently in her and Anduin than Malfurion because the latter's quote tend to emphasize a general GaiasVengeance theme while the two of them exclaim their specific religion.

Xyrella was one of the draenei who fled Outland aboard the Exodar. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned and crashed on Azeroth, with Xyrella's husband dying and her daughter falling into a seemingly-unbreakable coma. One night as she prayed for her daughter, a glowing object in the sky exploded into shards of fractured light in an incident the draenai called "The Night of Falling Stars". As the shards fell across Azeroth, Xyrella had a vision- it seemed that the shards were the pieces of a shattered naaru named Mi'da, which spoke to her, telling her that by gathering the pieces and reforming her, she would save her daughter's life. Making the difficult decision to abandon her child and people, Xyrella has followed the naaru's call to the Barrens.\\

Three Xyrella hero portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''Forged in the Barrens''; Survivor Xyrella, Shardseeker Xyrella, and Lightweaver Xyrella (pictured).

The infamous EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION is back, now upgraded with Fel Reaver parts. It's as ridiculous as it sounds. Mecha Jaraxxus was given to players who pre-ordered ''The Boomsday Project''.\\

He returned as the antagonist of ''Ashes of Outland'', now as the leader of the Rusted Legion as he's set to conquer Outland for himself.

* AscendedExtra: Not only is OG Jaraxxus an ascended extra, Mecha-Jaraxxus is as well. He went from a goofy one-off joke to the world-conquering antagonist of ''Ashes of Outland''.
* {{Cyborg}}: Jaraxxus has been upgraded into a mechanized body, evidently made of a Fel Reaver.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite being a demon and a mech (and OG Jaraxxus very specifically being a Demon as well), he counts as no minion type like a normal hero.
* LargeHam: All of Jaraxxus' legendary voice, now available from the start of the game.
* PowerUpLetdown: ZigZagged. He's back and upgraded with robotic parts! ... but is no longer the OneWingedAngel with an OP hero power, but rather just a regular Warlock. GameplayAndStorySegregation ''to the max''. It gets a bit stupid when you play the original Jaraxxus while playing as Mecha-Jaraxxus, effectively having him get stronger by ''ditching the cybernetic enhancements''.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Don't let her goofy demeanor fool you; she's a Warlock with all the same PowerAtAPrice abilities as Gul'dan. She remarks how her opponent would make a great puppet and has a special interaction with Renounce Darkness where she laments about how darkness is more fun.

* BadassBoast: "I taste the essence of your soul..."
* TheCorruptor: He's specifically the mastermind behind Deathwing's corruption. He also tries to corrupt druids at the start of the match if he's playing against one. Even his hero border is corrupted, with purple Old God sludge spilling over it on the board. Nevermind the fact that it was literally his original title.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He showed up in ''Whispers of the Old Gods'' before ever making a physical appearance in the main series of Warcraft.
* EldritchAbomination: One of four parasitic gods from the Void that have been influencing Azeroth since its inception.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Something he reminds Garrosh of should he be matched against the Corrupt Garrosh portrait.
* EarWorm: Has had "[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Under the Sea]]" stuck in his head for the last 10,000 years. And he's ''not'' happy about it.
* {{Necromancer}}: His minions both have this effect. He resurrects up to 6 other friendly minions, either with Deathrattles or of different tribes, who have fallen during the match.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The version from ''Whispers of the Old Gods'' was meant to debut N'Zoth's appearance. While he has the same body shape in [=WoW=], he's coloured black and brown in ''Hearthstone'' instead of purple and orange. This was corrected for his hero portrait and God of the Deep.

A Forsaken and one of the Horde's most dangerous warlocks. In life, she was the older of two sisters and a superstar mage. She was accepted to the legendary Scholomance Academy, recommended there by Archmage Antonidas himself... and then the Scourge came, cutting her down and turning her into one of theirs. Regaining her will after the ebbing of the Lich King's power, she grew to resent both her father for all she had lost trying to gain his approval, and her people for abandoning her at her time of need. That's when a kind and supportive benefactor came to her, encouraging her to study the dark arts... and oh, has she. Now, at her benefactor's urging, Tamsin has gone to the Barrens in search of items of power, power that she might use to finally gain revenge.\\

Four Tamsin portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''United in Stormwind''; Scholomance Tamsin, Impressive Tamsin (pictured), Summoner Tamsin, and Tamsin Triumphant.\\

One of the Val'kyr, angelic warrior women in service to the afterlife. After the Lich King was defeated, Sylvanas commited suicide but found herself in eternal punishment. The Val'kyr then made a deal with her - they would serve the Forsaken, and Sylvanas would become their champion. Annhylde then traded places with Sylvanas in [[{{Hell}} the Maw]].\\

Annhylde was available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass and reached level 25 on the Rewards Track during ''Madness at the Darkmoon Faire''.
-----
* TheDogBitesBack: Should she match against Sylvanas:
-->"I shall NOT take your place this time, my lady."
* ItIsNotYourTime: Quoted word for word if she casts [[CriticalStatusBuff Rampage]] on a minion.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Val'kyr are undead female vrykul who have ascended, sprouting ghostly wings. They were created by Odyn to aid souls in the Shadowlands, but have served the Scourge, the Forsaken, and their own agendas.
* {{Valkyries}}: Like most of vrykul culture, the Val'kyr are a clear adaptation of the Norse mythological warriors.
* WorthyOpponent: She's always searching for one. Every fight is a SecretTestOfCharacter where she judges the soul of her current opponent. If you want to roleplay, you can even choose whether the opponent was worthy or not - her Well Played emote is "I judge you... worthy." while her Threaten emote is "Rise to meet your fate!". Should she end up in a MirrorMatch, she naturally judges herself worthy out the gate.

Once the benevolent Dragon Aspect of Earth, Neltharion the Earthwarder, the beast known now as Deathwing was driven mad by the Old Gods and used as a tool to bring about the end of Azeroth. Deathwing was available to players who pre-ordered the ''Descent of Dragons'' mega bundle.\\

* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Interesting inverted. This trope applies to her normally, but in ''Hearthstone'' her eyes are golden, like Turalyon and other paladins whose eyes have been known to change color when invoking the Light.

Aranna Starseeker is the younger sister of Elise, and the protagonist of the ''Trial By Felfire'' adventure. She joined forces with Illidan to stop Mecha-Jaraxxus and the Rusted Legion. She was available for a 2 week span as part of the Felfire Festival event.\\

Her alternate skins include Nightborne Aranna, Felfireworks Aranna, and Songstress Aranna.

* AlwaysSecondBest: She's always lived in Elise's shadow. Elise is an accomplished druid and priest, not to mention a world-famous explorer who's helped save Azeroth ''twice''. This is actually why we'd [[RememberTheNewGuy never heard of Aranna until now]]. Becoming a demon hunter instead of a druid was her way of breaking out of this.
* {{Determinator}}: Aranna's defining trait is her persistence. Most of her emotes are related to her persevering.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She was originally a Rogue/Hunter hybrid, implying she had no magical skills and survived with just her wits. Becoming a Demon Hunter gave her the firepower to back those wits up.
* {{Foil}}: To Illidan. Both of them are glory seekers, natural leaders, and demon hunters who have bad relationships with their druid siblings. The difference is where Illidan is hot-headed, angry, and dogmatic in his hatred for the Legion, Aranna is calm, willing to change her views in the face of new evidence, and cares about helping other people a lot more.
* HornedHumanoid: She has prominent curved horns on her head.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: The last battle in the ''Trial by Felfire'' adventure is her clashing against [[spoiler: Illidan to knock him out of his boundless fury for all things demonic]] and actually work to make Outland a better place.
* WorthyOpponent: She's courteous to those who can give her a fair fight. The only exceptions are Mecha-Jaraxxus; her ArchEnemy, and Tyrande; who she questions why Illidan even fell in love with.

Kurtrus initially led a modest life, tending to a moonwell and caring for his family. During the Third War however, the dreadlord Tichondrius corrupted Kurtrus' serene forest into the Felwood. Those who resisted were slain by demon armies led by Tichondrius's brother, Anetheron, and only Kurtrus was able to survive the slaughter. Illidan would take in the outcast, forging him and others like him into the Illidari. One day, Kurtrus had a vision of Anetheron, alive and biding his time in the Twisting Nether, as well as a warlock in Kalimdor determined to summon him. With this, he abandoned the Illidari. Stripped of his armor and warglaives, Kurtrus now arrives in the Barrens on a personal quest of vengeance, determined to stop the warlock before it's too late.\\

Three Kurtrus hero portraits were available to players who purchased the Tavern Pass during ''Forged in the Barrens''; Initiate Kurtrus, Adept Kurtrus (pictured), and Trainer Kurtrus. A fourth portrait, Vengeant Kurtrus, was available for purchase during ''Voyage to the Sunken City''.\\

* WeaponOfChoice: Hammers. Ironically, at the time of his release, only one of the warrior weapons was a hammer - everything else was some form of axe.
