History

Silithids

Some castes of the Silithids

Before the Sundering, Kalimdor, the ancient continent of eternal starlight, was a nurturing mother to all of its creatures.

At the continent's center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies, the Well of Eternity. It was the true heart of the world's magic and natural power. From this magical ether the Silithid were born. As the fallen Old God C'Thun

recognized their appearance, he attempted to sunder the world that it once held in its unmerciful grasp. The Old God created avatars from the Silithid in its own image. These avatars were called the Azi Aqir, who later split up into the Qiraji and the Nerubians. Sentient and with thousands of years the Qiraji worked feverishly to build a force capable of laying waste to the world that would betray their god with the Silithids as their minions.

Their chitinous plating is interlaced in such a way that makes it incredibly strong. These creatures are very powerful and highly evolved.

Each of the three Hives in Silithus has a crystalline prism in it. They are apparently a means for the Qiraji and other unknown entities to communicate various messages to the silithid.

The Silithids burrow their underground hives all over southern Kalimdor. All of Silithus is under their control, and they have hives in Feralas, Tanaris, Un'Goro Crater, and the Shimmering Flats. They've even been sighted in small numbers in The Barrens.

Reference to Starship Troopers movie

Some believe the Silithid's insect-like appearance is derived from the movie Starship Troopers (1997), where a group of insectoids do battle with humans in space. Similar suggestions have been put forth about the Zerg from Spell frost icestorm [Blizzard]'s Starcraft series. Blizzard has also claimed that they derived some inspiration from the Starship Troopers movie for Starcraft, leaving the possibility that the Silithid design may have been influenced by it.
