Pandaren

Pandaren are bear-like creatures who hail from the misty lands of Pandaria and the Wandering Isle, the great turtle Shen-sin zu. Most Pandaren follow one of two main practices of life; the Houjin who believe in action and in a practical life. Most Houjin joined the Horde following their rediscovery by Horde and Alliance agents. Oppossing the Houjin practice is the Tushui belief, which is centered around thought and meditation, basing itself in a calm and balanced life, rather then an energetic life.

Pandaren are well known for their round frames and their uncanny resistance to alcohol. Because of this, Pandaren go well with the Dwarves, who are also enthusiastic about drinking.
