[img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/demonhunter.shtml[/img] <br>Demon Hunter <br><br>Demon Hunters are dark, shadowy warriors who are shunned by the greater Night Elf society.

They wield demonically charged warblades in battle and even call upon demonic energies to augment their formidable combat skills.

Yet, when these wicked sorcerers were captured by Kil'jaeden and the Legion after the destruction of Draenor, they were transformed into twisted aberrations of their former selves. These Liches possessed tremendous magical powers, yet their immortal, undead bodies were bound to the iron will of Ner'zhul. Since the Liches showed unswerving loyalty to their master, Ner'zhul granted them control over the furious elements of the cold north. Now, Liches wield frost magic along with their own considerable necromantic spells. [img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/dreadlord.shtml[/img] <br>Dread Lord <br><br>Dread Lords are incredibly powerful demonic entities that are masters of darkness and mental domination.

The Dread Lords carried out their task flawlessly, yet over time they fell under the influence of Ner'zhul's undead plague. Now, unbeknownst to Kil'jaeden and his Legion, the Dread Lords serve the Lich King and live only to carry out his dark agenda. Dread Lords generally appear as dashing human males and are adept at charming and beguiling mortal creatures through telepathy. Dread Lords radiate darkness around them and are fond of travelling within shadows. [img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/deathknight.shtml[/img] <br>Death Knight <br><br>Death Knights were once virtuous defenders of Humanity.

[img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/necromancer.shtml[/img] <br>Necromancer <br><br>Though they retained their Humanity after making a pact with death, Necromancers became the most terrifying agents of the Scourge. These dark, insidious men were once thought to be aspiring geniuses by the Magocracy of Dalaran. However, their insatiable lust to delve into the secrets of the dark arts drove them to forsake their very souls. Ner'zhul the Lich King, granted these malevolent sorcerers true power over the dead in exchange for their loyalty and obedience. The shadowy Necromancers have the power to command various types of Undead and even spread the foul undead plague as well. [img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/abomination.shtml[/img] <br>Abomination <br><br>The twisted, mutilated bodies of the Abominations are comprised of multiple dead limbs and body parts from various corpses.

In times of great peril, gargoyles can land and condense their hides into a a stone-like surface.

[img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/meatwagon.shtml[/img]<br>Meat Wagon <br><br>One of the strangest and most dire tools utilized by the undead Scourge is the dreaded Meat Wagon. This rickety contraption is used to collect and store recently slain corpses from the field of battle. At any time, corpses can be pulled from the Meat Wagon and raised into undead warriors. When upgraded, the Meat Wagon can also 'fling' diseased corpses at enemy units by use of a crude catapult device. An invaluable support vehicle for the Scourge, the Meat Wagon strikes fear and woe into the hearts if even the most resolute defenders. [img]http://www.blizzard.com/war3/conceptart/neutrals/ogrelord.shtml[/img] <br>Ogre Lord <br><br>Using their immense bulk to terrorize their lesser ilk into service, Ogre Lords are often encountered guarding Gold Mines, Healing Pools and other valuable locations.
