Felguard The felguard are the Burning Legion ' s race of rank and file demonic soldiers conscripted from the mo ' arg species . Appearance . The felguard are tall , broad shouldered , muscly warriors who wield weapons of a generally twisted , curving variety . The felguard ' s skin ranges from blue , red , yellow / orange to various shades of these colors and black . They tend to stand anywhere from 6 to 8 feet , though some are reported to far exceed these sizes . There appear to be a few breeds , or races , within the felguard caste of mo ' arg . The majority have large horns or spines protruding from their backs , and smaller ones on their forehead . Felguard armor tends to cover their right arm , legs , back and head , and they seem to choose from a small variety of giant , cruel looking axes or swords , and have not been reported to use shields or other types of weapons . The felguard legs are always covered in armour when they are in combat , so as to their feet , none can be sure , though one would assume them to have feet akin to humanoids because of their leg structure , which hardly supports hooves . The felguard are technically mo ' arg , but they share so little phenotypically with other documented mo ' arg breeds or races that it seems possible that they have become an entirely separate species , though Blizzard has not released any information to this effect , and have in fact released information contrary to this belief . Combat . The felguard operate under the direction of doom guard s , pit lord s , and other Legion commanders and generals . Felguard are treated like fodder troops , driving the Legion ' s attack on the universe forward like a relentless force of nature . While most other demons rely to some extent on magic and trickery , felguard eschew these subtleties , instead relying on sheer strength to overwhelm their foes . While under the command of a higher - ranking demon or a warlock , a felguard makes the perfect soldier . Each is a disciplined follower outside of combat , calm and patient . When commanded to fight however ; they become wild and merciless , an army of raging felguard is a terrifying sight . Felguard are only trained in fighting , so that ' s about all they do . In combat they split up to take on as many foes as possible . At first glance this tactice might seem like a mistake since it divides their power , but this is just for a short while . The felguard use this tactic to locate weakness in the enemy lines . Once a weak opponent has been located , all nearby felguard retarget to this individual . Felguard are good at coordinating their attacks and flanking their opponents . A raging felguard is reckless , but not stupid . It coordinates well with its allies , and usually obeys orders ( if it can hear them over its deafening battle cries ) . A felguard loves battle , sometimes refusing to flee from a combat that it believes it has a chance of winning . Demonic generals know and accept this limitation , and plan their strategies accordingly . Locations . Felguards can be found in the Tainted Scar and around the The Dark Portal in Blasted Lands , Mannoroc Coven in Desolace , Demon Fall Ridge and Demon Fall Canyon in Ashenvale , Darkwhisper Gorge in Winterspring , and in most of Outland . Notable . Taragaman the Hungerer of Ragefire Chasm is a notable felguard , due to his relative importance suggested by Neeru Fireblade , in the quest . Seeing as Ragefire Chasm is an original instance , lore - wise , he is a felguard and therefore a demon , while with in - game gameplay machanics , he is a humanoid . This is merely for balances purposes . It is worthwhile noting his weapon is different than most other felguard .
