Beware: Cuteness Ahead! PDF Print

manticore  It's not every day that we see commercially produced manticores.  Heck, unless it's a gaming mini, the chances of finding something mass produced is extremely rare.  So you can imagine the joy and elation I experienced (I believe the technical term is "squee") when seeing this cute little fuzzball from Blizzard.  According to them, it's a wind rider cub (wind riders, in WoW, are wyverns).  But upon looking at this image (taken from the game), it's obvious that Blizzard has their mythical creatures mixed up, and the Horde are actually riding manticores.

The baby manticore is available for a limited time.  It comes with an in-game vanity pet for those that play the game (though something tells me that Blizzard will soon learn how popular this adorable little critter is and offer it permanently without the in-game goodie).  Around its neck is the Horde emblem, which looks like it can be removed and replaced with something a little more blue and white.  And at $25, the price is definitely right.  I, for one, will definitely be getting one in the near future.

Working on the discussion on why I get one besides just that its a Manticore. Although if I do, I wont need the IG pet thing, so someone could have that .

Callandra and I officially owns one now. He came in the mail today. I named him Monty.

Twinkie, if you wants the code for the in game pet, let me know. It won't do us any good.
