A humanoid dragon-like creature, similar to a Dragonspawn only they have 2 legs instead of 4, so they are more like dragon-humans than dragon-centaurs. They are meant to be the footmen and standard soldiers of the Legion of Blackrock, and though they have considerable magic resistances, a flaw does exist: each Drakonid also has a fatal weakness to one magic type, making it suffer enormous damage from that particular school.

Bronze Drakonids can be found patrolling the Caverns of Time. Nether Drakonids can also be found in Shadowmoon Valley, in the service of Illidan Stormrage, while the Infinite Dragonflight also employs drakonids of their own flight. This suggests that Drakonids might not exclusively be the results of Nefarian’s experiments and have origins and purposes more similar to those of the Dragonspawn.
