Blizzard didn't actually invent furbolgs. "Fir bolgs" are ancient creatures in Irish mythology. They inhabited the forests of Ireland until they were pushed out in a war against the "Tuatha de Danaan" (I think that's how you spell it :) ) who were the first Druids (or do the story goes). This might have inspired the fighting between night elves and corrupted furbolgs that occurs in some places. Just a bit of info :)

Did blizzard actually create any of the races?

After a quick thought, i couldn't think of any race that blizzard "did" create

.......except mabye drenai? (yes my spelling sux)

Can anyone think of a non blizzard drenai myth/legend >? or any blizzard race that doesn't have its origins in some real world mythology?

Hm, they've got hooves, tails, some of them have horns, and the bad ones are red-skinned. Sound familiar at all? ;p
