Stormrook

A stormrook on the Isle of Dorn.

Stormrooks are air elementals resembling gryphons. Native to Skywall in the Elemental Plane, they are often found in Azeroth on the Isle of Dorn. They were trained to soar through the skies of the Isle of Dorn and into the depths below.^{[citation needed]}  Like its close cousin, the cloudrook, the stormrook's favorite food is electric eels.^{[citation needed]} 

A Stormrider's stormrook can not only navigate extreme winds with grace but can also conjure fierce tempests to defend themselves. A full-sized stormrook's thunder can be heard for miles. The chirps of this small spark sound like a faulty electrical device.

Bred to fly true in the harshest conditions, the Algarian Stormrider was trained in the thane's rookery to soar through the skies of Khaz Algar and into the depths below.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Stormrooks may be the ancestors of gryphons, similar to how dragons evolved from elemental dragons that escaped imprisonment in the Elemental Plane. This would explain an old statement from Warcraft III that gryphons and dragons share a common ancestry; that ancestry being elementals.
