Beautiful cosplays sometimes need animal support. This night elf from WoW looks even more enchanting thanks to a real owl.
When it comes to extravagant and convincing cosplays, the artists often leave nothing to be desired. After all, it’s about portraying the fictional characters as convincingly as possible. Especially with more comic-like representations, such as in World of Warcraft, the implementation is not that easy.
Anyone who wants to convincingly portray a night elf huntress hardly gets by without animal assistance. After all, the night elves have relied on their “guardian owls” for thousands of years, who scout the wilderness as faithful companions.
What amazing photos can come about when the talented cosplayer Narga meets photographer KIRA, you can see here. She embodies the night elf Tyrande Whisperwind, the High Priestess of Elune, as depicted in Warcraft 3.
Thanks to digital post-processing with various effects (like coloring the forest and the eyes), the photos look even more convincing. Especially the real owl helps to convey a true feeling of a “wild” night elf.
We won’t even start talking about the countless hours of work that surely went into the costume…
If one could encounter a night elf in reality, she would probably have this or a similar form. In addition to the photos, the two also created a small “Making Of” video where one can see the photos and their creation process more closely.

What do you think of this type of cosplay photos? A beautiful thing that really enhances the images? Or should animals be kept out of such things?
How the whole profession of cosplayer works in real life is something our Leya has revealed for you.
