Druids of the Fang The Druids of the Fang , now infamous for a catastrophe in the Wailing Caverns , is the largest druidic group that retains a totem . The Druids of the Fang were previously a night elf faction devoted to healing the Barrens and returning it to its former lush glory . After their leader became trapped in an attempt to connect to the Emerald Dream , those close to him became corrupted and now keep others from attempting to save him . These druids work to spread the chaos and corruption in the caverns and throughout the Barrens . Turning independent to entreat the tauren druids for help , the remaining druids now struggle to free their leader , defeat their evil brethren , and complete the goal of restoring the Barrens from the further taint . Their biggest rivals are their own kind , the druids that carry corrupted souls and prevent the rescue of Naralex , the fallen Druid of the Fang leader . An organization beset by tragedy , these druids accept any and all help to achieve their goals . It is one of the few organizations supported by both the Alliance and Horde . They try to heal the Barrens . Some unequivocally tainted the Barrens . Others work to save their leader from the nightmare realm where he exists . Since the tragedy , the druids have scattered around Kalimdor to look for a key to saving their leader , but they gather mostly in Thunder Bluff and the Barrens . Organization . The leader of this shattered shell of a group was Naralex . The night elf druids paint him into a savior figure , one to deliver the Barrens from its desert existence and deliver us all from the demons . The tauren druids have a slightly more realistic view of this man : He thought the cavern complex underneath the Barrens would be the ideal place to try to siphon in some of the magic of the Emerald Dream . Bring in the dream magic , he thought , and the Barrens will flower again . This druid took a wrong turn and ended up not in the Emerald Dream , but stuck in some nightmare place . Now he is in a coma , and is the conduit through which this nightmare stuff is coming to warp and twist everything in the Wailing Caverns . His seconds , four extremely powerful druids , were corrupted and still remain down there , guarding his body from anyone who tries to help . So no one reports to Naralex , although he is the leader . The remaining Druids of the Fang are so distraught that there is little organization among them . If a druid discovers a band of strong adventurers who seem decent enough , he entreats them for help . The tauren took pity on the disorganized druids and invited them into their fold . Now tauren druids , while they do not directly order the night elves , guide them in druidic spells to try to cleanse the caverns , and give them places to train to increase their skills . The night elf druids are focused on restoring their master to his former state and have since put off the small matter of fixing the Barrens . Yet it is likely that the Barrens can ’ t be fixed until Naralex is released from his sleep , so it probably all points to the same goal . The Druids of the Fang have no central gathering place , unless one counts the horrors of the Wailing Caverns . Both kinds of druids can be found there — the mad , powerful , corrupted druids , and the confused and disorganized good ones . The latter are not as deep in the caverns . Tauren druids are keenly aware of the horrors of the Wailing Caverns , and druids of both races often travel between the Wailing Caverns , Crossroads , and Thunder Bluff , working to get more information and make plans . These druids often travel to Moonglade , as well , but they don ’ t spend too much time there . Membership . The Druids of the Fang were once a proud and powerful group . Druids who wished to connect to the potent power of the snake would study nature and live long lives of hardship and training . The existing Druids of the Fang would go through years of initiation and live in nature away from towns , communing with nature and those massive ancient trees . Now , their numbers have dwindled . Many druids lost their lives in the Third War ; and after Naralex fell into his half - living , half - dead state , most figured the Druids of the Fang were a lost organization , dishonored by their destruction of the nature of the caves . Yet some night elves , and some tauren , believe the caverns can be cleansed . These optimistic youths either attempt to find druids in Thunder Bluff or Crossroads ( or even the caverns , although some of those youths don ’ t survive that journey ) who can help them . Apart from a cursory check to see if the student has promise , a good heart , and a willingness to do hard work and possibly lose her soul in the corrupting magic of the caverns , the Druids of the Fang accept any new acolyte . Their numbers are low , and they are desperate to increase them . Even though the druids don ’ t seem to care too much who they take in , their new acolytes are eager and strong . There isn ' t a new initiate who isn ’ t determined to heal the caverns and the Barrens . Night elves and tauren in the organization do not quarrel , night elves in Thunder Bluff ( who are always escorted by tauren , of course ) and tauren in Moonglade ( where druids sometimes go to meditate ) . The new ones are focused , and give some life to the old druids in their miserable states . Druids of the fang ( class ) . Druid of the fang is a class of druid . They are members of the organization known as the Druids of the Fang . Druids of the fang accept the snake as their totem . Due to recent events , many believe the druids of the fang are an evil organization . This belief is unfounded ; the druids of the fang are loyal to Darnassus and the Alliance ( or Thunder Bluff and The Horde in the case of Tauren druids ) . However , recently , the order ' s head , Naralex , became trapped in a nightmare in the Wailing Caverns while attempting to restore the natural balance of the Barrens ; he now spreads corruption through the complex . Many druids of the fang also became infected , and many of the order are now indeed corrupted and evil . The uncorrupted druids of the fang seek to cure their brethren and restore their leader . Druids of the fang have a natural affinity for snakes of all kinds , and are able to transform into various serpent shapes instead of the other animal forms other druids use , such as dire cobra s and viper s . They utilize most of the abilities and powers of other druids , but have a few special perks : druids of the fang have access to very powerful sleep magic , able to draw entire groups into slumber , as well as utilize lightning and electricity - based spells . Often , Druids of the Serpent totem can be found with animal companions that are snakes of some kind , from tiny grass snakes to large pythons .
