Where I require bleach and dye to turn my hair an eye-searing shade of pink, the Gnomes of Gnomeregan can do it with a click of a button, because pink (or lavender, or mint) hair colors are canon for them. Just as a Nightborne&#8217;s tattoos have an ethereal shimmer or a Troll can sport a gravity-defying mohawk the shade of a grape. They&#8217;re\u00a0<strong>natural <\/strong>for\u00a0<em><a href=\"\/category\/warcraft\/\">World of Warcraft&#8217;s<\/a><\/em>\u00a0universe.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I was already neurotically spending a lot of time tuning my character&#8217;s look and feel with multicolored hair, jewelry, and of course transmogs. Then Blizzard had to go and add Dracthyr and their <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/2022\/07\/12\/early-dracthyr-character-customization-options\/\">decillions of appearance combinations<\/a>. This is not hyperbole by the way &#8212; we started doing the math on combinations and hit millions from the first page of the Dracthyr customizer, not even including their Visage customizations!<\/p>\n<p>I have plans for all shades of purple available on the customization screen. My first character might even duplicate the one I just created on the alpha &#8212; shared in the header for your enjoyment. Are purple dragons canon in\u00a0<em>World of Warcraft<\/em>? Not exactly. Is that going to stop me from creating my amazingly amethyst alt? Heck no. Because it&#8217;s my fantasy character, I will craft them as I wish.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s an Evoker for you too &#8212; whether you&#8217;re thinking about a ghoulishly goth theme or spectacularly sunny, the customizations exist.\u00a0In case you missed it, our own Anna Bell put in the time (and probably earned a repetitive stress injury for herself) to generate 100 randomized appearances for you, our dear Watchers. Check out the truly stunning combinations in the YouTube Video below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-4ln64a5gdfe66dfe1e19a68e962524657\" style=\"max-width:900px;\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 500 \/ 281\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-4ln64a5gdfe66dfe1e19a68e962524657\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/4ln64A5gdfE?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/4ln64A5gdfE?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"900\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blizzardwatch.com\\\/2022\\\/08\\\/05\\\/whats-favorite-color-combination-fantasy-characters\\\/#arve-youtube-4ln64a5gdfe66dfe1e19a68e962524657\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/4ln64A5gdfE?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now take to the comments, Watchers!
