Cannibalism " For information on the " Cannibalize " racial ability , see Cannibalize " Troll s . Most trolls seem to practice cannibalism . Several specific troll tribes have been confirmed as cannibalistic , including the Mossflayer and Vilebranch tribes . Furthermore , all of the currently known tribes of ice trolls practice cannibalism . Sand trolls , forest trolls , and jungle trolls are also frequently cannibalistic , though not always . Even the mysterious dark trolls are believed to be cannibals for the most part . Yet there are several notable exceptions . For example , the Zandalar and Revantusk tribes do not consume troll flesh . The Darkspear tribe , too , was cannibalistic until it joined the Horde , at which point the Darkspears officially gave up cannibalism . Forest Troll s . It seems that forest trolls practice cannibalism more for the meal than the magic , seeing it as more of a food source than a method to tame spirits . It should be noted that not all troll tribes engage in this practice . The Revantusk trolls , for example , describe the cannibalism of their enemies , the Vilebranch , as " depraved . " Bonechewer Orc Clan . The Bonechewer clan of orc s practiced cannibalism , as well as decorating themselves with the remains of their victims . Though whether they ate ogres , other orcs , or another race is unknown . In Beyond the Dark Portal , a small band of orcs , led by Fenris Wolfbrother , enter Menethil Harbor secretly to steal boats from the Alliance and sail to the raised Tomb of Sargeras . Fenris is initially skeptical of the orcs ability for stealth , though he is relieved somewhat by their initial success at the venture . He is quickly disappointed when the alarm is sounded by the humans , who were alerted by a guard ' s wails from being eaten alive by a Bonechewer orc , in the middle of the operation . Broken draenei . Desperate broken will sometimes resort to cannibalism . Undead . The Forsaken and certain other undead also engage in cannibalism , eating humanoids and undead when they require sustenance . Forsaken are undead , and thus are unable to heal without magical aid . Studying ghouls and abominations , some Forsaken mimic their ability to devour flesh to restore their own . Wendigo . Savage wendigo have been known to be cannibalistic . Its implied that they eat their own species . Speculation . Definition . Webster defines Cannibalism as ; In World of Warcraft cannibalism appears to be the practice of a sapient humanoid species eating another sapient humanoid species , whether one of their own or one of another . Other possible cannibalism ? While described as cannibals by some sources , or seemingly meeting the criteria of cannibalism as described regarding the trolls , the status of these races as cannibals is unconfirmed . Human s and other races are known to eat Murloc s as an ingredient of Westfall Stew and Murloc Fin Soup . Ogres may or may not also habitually eat murlocs ; Mudcrush Durtfeet tasks adventurers with bringing him murloc heads to eat . Ogres have also been known to eat orcs , and presumably other humanoid races they ' ve had conflict with . Centaur have also been known to practice cannibalism ; some of them once captured Baine Bloodhoof and planned to eat him . Also , the Mauradine centaur in Desolace have captured Melizza Brimbuzzle , intending to make a meal of her . The carnivorous gnolls consider all creatures potential food , including members of their own race . " More bones to gnaw on " is commonly said by gnolls when they encounter another humanoid race . The massive magnataur of northrend are constantly hungry due to their ever increasing size , and when raiding human caravans will eat the humans , horses , and anything they can find that won ' t break their teeth .
