edendaks

Edendaks are a fictional species of humanoid creatures originating from the *World of Warcraft* universe, specifically within the *Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos* expansion, *The Frozen Throne*. They are a hybrid race created by the undead warlock Mal'ganis, combining the traits of an elven (specifically night elf) female and a drakonid (a type of dragon). The name "edendak" is derived from the words "eden" (referencing the elven heritage) and "dak" (a suffix used for draconic creatures).

Edendaks possess a mix of physical characteristics from both parent species. They have the slender, graceful build of elves, along with the elongated limbs and sharp features of draconids. Their skin is often depicted as pale or translucent, and they may exhibit traits such as horns, scales, or glowing eyes, depending on the specific design. Edendaks are depicted as intelligent and capable of complex thought, though their undead nature grants them supernatural abilities such as enhanced strength, resilience, and dark magic manipulation.

In the lore, edendaks were created as an experiment by Mal'ganis to produce a race of powerful undead warriors. However, their existence was short-lived, as they were eventually destroyed by the combined forces of the Alliance and Horde during the events of *The Frozen Throne*. Despite their brief appearance, edendaks remain a notable example of the creative blending of species in *Warcraft*'s expansive mythology.

While edendaks do not appear in later *World of Warcraft* games or expansions, their legacy persists in fan discussions and lore analyses. They serve as an intriguing case study in the themes of creation, destruction, and the consequences of dark experimentation within the *Warcraft* universe.
