Blizzard introduced a new charity pet for World of Warcraft at BlizzCon 2018. Whomper is available in the real money shop, and every purchase supports a charitable organization.
Yeti for a good cause: At BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard showcased a new charity pet. Whomper is a little Yeti that can accompany you on your journeys through Azeroth as a pet. You can purchase this adorable creature for real money in the shop, with all proceeds donated by Blizzard.
Whomper supports computer science education for children
Where can I get Whomper? You can buy Whomper directly in the shop in World of Warcraft or through the official Blizzard shop outside the game. The baby Yeti costs 10 euros. Once you purchase Whomper, all characters on your account can access it, even if they are newly created.
As with the charity pet “Böse Miez” in 2016, Blizzard donates the proceeds. All sales revenue from Whomper will go 100% to the organization Code.org until December 31, 2018.
Whomper is also for cuddling: For those who do not play World of Warcraft or think Whomper is so cute that they want to cuddle it, you can also get the Yeti as a plush toy for home.
In the official Blizzard Gear Store, Whomper is also available as a plush toy. The plush Yeti baby costs 30 euros and is expected to be shipped in time for the holidays for orders placed by December 15 at the latest. All proceeds from the plush toy will also go to Code.org until December 31.
What do you think of this year’s BlizzCon? Cortyn believes it is the most disappointing BlizzCon of all time.
