Ancients of wind guard the nesting grounds for the mighty hippogryphs. Ancients of wind assist ancients of lore in the training of night elf druids. They excel especially at teaching night elves to train and ride hippogryphs, and the Druids of the Talon revere them as their key mentors. Ancients of wind avoid combat; but like other ancients, when enemies threaten nature, they battle with their allies. They use spells to confound their enemies; as their name implies, they favor wind-based spells like cyclone. There are none in World of Warcraft.
