We've got a handful of Hero Skins coming in a future Hearthstone update which dress up the classic Hearthstone heroes in obtainable costumes, which is almost certainly to celebrate Halloween. These skins do have some great voicelines, so check out all of our previews down below.
It should be noted that it appears these will only be obtainable in a bundle together - the Fairy Tale Bundle.
Robin Hood Rexxar
After years of their careless deforestation and mining, he resolved to rob the villages and give back to the wilds.
Red Riding Hood Jaina
Armed with the utmost determination to deliver freshly conjured mana biscuits to her grandmother.
Prince Charming Anduin
Proof that you don't need to be a knight to wear shining armor.
Frog Prince Thrall
Thrall didn't realize there'd be consequences for always including Likkim in his deck.
Pirate King Garrosh
Ne'er was there a pirate more ferocious than the mighty captain of the warship Hellscream.

Prince Charming Anduin is hilarious XD
Anduin, oof!
Making a red riding hood skin and not giving it to Valeera is alongside putting Omega Agent in warlock and Stormhammer in hunter for the strangest class choices Team 5 have ever made, but I'm not against it since she had her time as Diao Chan.
Elsewhere, I love the look Thrall and the frog are giving each other. That alone inspires me to go back to Rastakhan's Rumble to make a frog shaman deck.
What makes you think of rogues with Little Red Riding Hood out of curiosity? You're right about Omega Agent, but I can explain Stormhammer as a strange flavor crossover. For hunter they seemed to be including griffins as part of the theme, which makes sense as they are beasts. The most famous griffin riders in the lore are the Wildhammer Dwarves, who wield shamanistic lightning powers and hammers just like Stormhammer. It looks like it should be a shaman weapon, but it got included as part of a package theme. Also, the first time these griffin riders made their debut was in an areal battle with red dragons enslaved by the Horde, so the dragon connection also makes a bit more sense from that perspective.
Really, though, card flavor should be clear from the getgo and not require someone like me to explain obscure stuff to have it make sense.
It's less that little red riding hood (LRRH) works with rogue, and more that Valeera herself has a red hood. Like, always, so it writes itself. Meanwhile I don't see any association between LRRH and Jaina at all beyond them both being female. Heck, they even used Jaina's BfA design, so she must be what, like 50 years old? Hardly the young girl in the story! At least Valeera is very young for an elf.
It just feels like a child Valeera (circa WC3) would have been such a perfect fit for LRRH in every way. You can even put a Warcraft spin on it by having Arthas be the big bad wolf who ate grandma (Silvermoon). As for post-BfA Jaina, I've got nothing. Don't get me wrong, the artwork is great, it just lacking even the slightest connection, which would be OK if Valeera wasn't an option.
Let's hope this will be either cheap or purchasable with Gold (doubt it), Garrosh would be great for Wild Pirate Warrior lists.
