{{Hero infobox | datapage = Data:E.T.C. | image = [[File:EtcArt.jpg|240px]] ''"I bring the mega-death!"'' }} '''Elite Tauren Chieftain''' (E.T.C.), the Rock God, is a melee [[Tank|Tank Hero]] from the ''[[Warcraft]]'' universe.<ref name = "Concepts">2013-11-09, [http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2013-heroes-of-the-storm-concept-art-and-screenshots BlizzCon 2013 β Heroes of the Storm β Concept Art and Screenshots]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2013-11-23</ref> The Power of the Horde incarnated by brutal rhythms and blistering guitar riffs into the form of the most elite Tauren chieftain to ever headbang across the surface of Azeroth. Don't bother putting on socks. He's just going to rock them off anyways. E.T.C. is a Tank who supplies his team with a good bit of utility. ==Background== {{warcraft-section}} {{wow|Elite Tauren Chieftain}} (abbreviated as ETC) is an American band comprised of employees of [[Blizzard Entertainment]]. The band's virtual alter ego, '''The Tauren Chieftains''', appear in ''{{wow|World of Warcraft}}'' as a band comprised of members of the {{wow|Horde}}, and retain the logo used by the Level 70 Elite incarnation of the real-life band. Their gimmick revolves around writing content that is based on mainly subjects related to the [[Warcraft]] universe, though they have more recently extended into [[StarCraft]] and [[Diablo (franchise)|Diablo]] lore as well. The band debuted in 2003 with their first song, "{{wow|Power of the Horde}}", which was featured in the credits of ''{{wow|Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne}}''. ETC, as he appears in Heroes of the Storm, is the mascot of that band. == Abilities == :''See '''[[Data:E.T.C.|Data Page]]''' for a table of scaled values at key levels.'' {{Skills}} == Talents == {{talent table}} == Builds and guides == {{heroGuideList}} ==Skins== {{/Skins}} ==Portraits== {{/Portraits}} ==Sprays== {{/Sprays}} ==Emojis== {{/Emojis}} ==Quotes== {{main|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes}} == Trivia == * The tauren made their debut in ''Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos'' (July 2002). * E.T.C. represents the [[Blizzard]] band {{wow|Elite Tauren Chieftain}}.
