Tracker
- This article is about lore information. For the mastiff, see Tracker (mastiff). For the in-game tracking, see Tracking.
Trackers are hunters in service of various organizations. One can track beasts[1] or other enemies. The grummles are said to be expert trackers.[2] Troll headhunters are trained from birth to hunt, track and trap the most dangerous beasts in the wilds.[3] Orc wolfriders and orcs in general can also track.[4] The taunka employ special trackers known as snow trackers.[5][6] Ethereals who can track are called nether-stalkers.
After Garona Halforcen escaped from the Old Horde, Horde trackers were sent after her, but they were unsuccessful.[7] After Illidan Stormrage gathered the Fel Horde to Hellfire Citadel in Hellfire Peninsula, Illidari trackers scoured the routes to the Citadel and questioned fel orc clan leaders. They confirmed the presence of night elves as Illidan thought.[8] Known individuals who commanded trackers are Vindicator Kuros,[9] Marosh the Devious, Darius Crowley,[10] and Tobias Mistmantle.[11]
During the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, various world's trackers joined the Unseen Path in Trueshot Lodge.
