In patch 7.3 of World of Warcraft, it gets dark. Players can get dead children as “pets.”
World of Warcraft may have a comic-style graphic style and only a rating of “12 and up” but that doesn’t mean that the MMORPG is always morally sound.
The upcoming patch 7.3, currently on the PTR, has some pretty gruesome details hidden in the game that can make you rub your eyes in disbelief.
The most striking are the Ur’zul, deformed and distorted “dog creatures” that were created from the bodies and souls of slain Draenei. And what do you do with something that looks like a dog? Right, a mount! This way, players will soon be able to gallop through the game world on the corrupted and fused corpses of the Draenei.
Little dead girl “Uuna” as a pet in WoW
Even darker is a new “pet” that has appeared in the PTR collection. A companion named Uuna appears on the list – and is the spirit of a little Draenei girl. She drops from the rare elite “The Many-Faced Devourer”. The description reveals the following:
“One of the many children thought to be lost in the battle for Argus. Only to find themselves fused into the body of an Ur’zul.”
That’s pretty creepy and quite macabre by Blizzard’s standards.
What do you think of the Ur’zul mount and the “child pet”?
Cortyn says: Such details help to add a bit more horror to the Legion in its final hours. Especially because this detail is particularly gruesome, it fits well into the (presumably) last patch of Legion. At least the developers decided not to make Uuna a battle pet. Undead Draenei children as companions are already bad enough, having them fight each other for fun would have crossed some lines.
By the way, there is also a new dungeon on Argus – where you have Alleria by your side!
