The Highmountain Tauren are descendants of Huln, a hero from the 'War of the Ancients' in the 'World Of Warcraft'.  

They belong to the Allied Races and can be unlocked in the Battle for Azeroth. They are among the Allied Races in the game that honor the spirits of the earth, sky, and river.

They fight beside their Kalimdor kin and are noble to the powerful Horde. To unlock and get the Highmountain Tauren characters, certain requirements need to be met.
