Clawhand was a character from the canceled Warcraft Adventures and was a Shattered Hand clan orc with a prehensile pincer claw in place of his left hand.

Profile

Living in an internment camp, Clawhand led a group of lethargic Shattered Hand clan drunkards who, unlike him, all traded their blade hands to Zul'jin for black ale. When talking to Thrall, Clawhand was initially hostile and claimed their meeting was private. When pressed, Clawhand revealed a bunch of gnomes stole all but one of their pigs from the camp pen last night.

When Thrall gave Clawhand a bucketful of black ale, he warmed up considerably and invited Thrall to join his clan in partying, also inviting Thrall to take some of his clan's meat.

As Clawhand had earlier admitted his party needed a game to entertain themselves, Thrall later offered to trade Mugg'roth's playing cards with the group for a price, though Clawhand refused to part with his prosthetic, the drunkard assaulted him to forcefully take away his claw hand to trade with Thrall. Afterward, a Shattered Hand orc wondered how they would shuffle leading to a loud groan from the group.

If Thrall returns to Clawhand, he will find the entire group asleep, apparently having exhausted themselves from partying.

Notes

  • Clawhand says the pigs surely didn't fly out of their pen, earlier in the game it is revealed that the pigs did indeed fly out of their pens because the gnomes had attached flight packs to the animals to make them easier to steal.
    • Additionally Zul'jin mentions he found a dead gnome under a very large pig with a strange device onto its back in the reservation.
  • The Shattered Hand's difficulty with shuffling the deck of cards with one hand is probably a reference to how Mugg'roth's bearded headed shuffled his deck with only his right hand.
  • Clawhand's prosthetic is similar to a Mechagon mechagnome arm option that'd be roughly introduced 21 years later in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
