Mechagnome (playable)

The mechagnomes are one of the playable Alliance allied races in World of Warcraft, introduced in Battle for Azeroth. A pioneer group of gnomes that settled Mechagon Island in search of titan technology, they began to enhance their mortal bodies with steel and robotics. They have since reconnected with their cousins from Gnomeregan, and alongside their prince, are led by King Gelbin Mekkatorque.
Mechagnomes start out underground in their wondrous city of Mechagon. They then journey to their faction's embassy (much like all other allied races). Similarly to their fleshy brothers and sisters, mechagnomes ride Mechanostrider mounts, but of a slightly different variety. Also, like regular gnomes, they speak Gnomish as their main language, but also know the Common tongue.
==Background==
===Official website===
Long ago, a faction of zealous gnomes set out on a quest to improve their bodies and minds. Settling on the isolated isle of Mechagon, they experimented with ancient technology to reverse the Curse of Flesh and become living machines. After facing the perils of full mechanization, they found the ideal balance between flesh and steel. Now reunited with their gnomish cousins, the mechagnomes bring both tenacity and ingenuity to the Alliance.https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/game/races/mechagnome
===Race preview===
Though they once sought to mechanize themselves completely, the mechagnomes now seek a balance between flesh and steel. Emerging from years of isolation on Mechagon, they bring both ingenuity and aptitude to the Alliance.
They left Gnomeregan to construct a metal metropolis, Mechagon. However, their once wise and ambitious ruler King Mechagon now ruthlessly rules over them with an iron fist.
Work together with the Rustbolt Resistance to overthrow their tyrant so these mechanical mavericks will join the Alliance.

===Opening cutscene===
Prince Erazmin: We mechagnomes spent years in isolation, tirelessly enhancing our bodies and minds. But this relentless quest for perfection nearly brought us to ruin. Now we realize that balance is the key to happiness. We can improve ourselves without losing our individuality in the process. It is time to leave Mechagon and rejoin our gnomish cousins. Together, we will forge a brighter future. For the Alliance!

==Notes==
*Mechagnome hunters start with a mechanical wolf pet.
*Mechagnomes cannot transmogrify their feet, wrist, and hand slots. Additionally, only the lower torso will show transmogrified leg appearances; the actual legs are exposed metal.
*Prior to the removal of reputation and achievement requirements to unlock allied races, unlocking mechagnomes required reputation with the Rustbolt Resistance and the achievement The Mechagonian Threat.
*Mechagnomes begin at with the Rustbolt Resistance.
*The mechagnome icon represents the same insignia of King Mechagon's Arcforged, and not the Rustbolt Resistance. In contrast, the nightborne discarded their old Highborne symbol in favor of one with a dusk lily, representing the nightfallen resistance.
