Undead

Tauren and Goblin, which are also Horde-ONLY races, are notable for their on-use racials. Tauren has War March, which increases movement speed, and Goblin has Rocket Boots, which increases movement speed by 20%.

Another option is Orca, which has an unique racial called Ambush, which increases Critical strike chance by 15%.

Orcs, on the other hand, have Hardened Shells, which prevents up to 10,000 damage from a critical strike.

Ghouls have Mortality, which increases attack power by 10 for the last 18 sec when falling below 20% life.
