An absurd mount is currently attracting attention in the community of World of Warcraft. Because a giant Murloc might soon end up as a mount.
New mounts are among the most beautiful and impressive rewards that characters can receive in World of Warcraft. Especially when entirely new mounts are introduced to the game, players pay particularly close attention.
A few days ago, data miners found hints of a rather curious mount – a giant muscular Murloc. But how does one obtain it?
What was discovered? The data miner Martin Benjamins found that one of the textures for the in-game shop of WoW reveals something interesting. One of the images shows not only the small Murkastrasza, one of the rewards from the Dragonflight editions, but also a giant muscular Murloc.
The Murloc is clearly larger than the pet, which suggests that it is intended to be a mount. It also has a structure on its back that looks like a seat, further supporting the suspicion.
How does one obtain the mount? This is still unclear. Apparently, it was once intended as part of the promotion alongside Murkastrasza. The most likely scenario is that Murkastrasza and the Murloc mount were meant to be part of BlizzConline 2022. However, after BlizzConline was canceled, the purpose of this mount fell away – for now. This would at least explain why Murkastrasza is shown in a picture alongside the mount.
Murkastrasza has now become part of a premium package for Dragonflight, but there is no sign of the Murloc mount. Possibly as part of the pre-order for Dragonflight or as a reward for watching BlizzConline.
Since the graphic comes from the shop, one can assume that the Murloc mount will find a new purpose here as well. The most common theory is that the Mega-Murloc will soon be the reward for completing a 6-month subscription. This way, the mount could be “recycled” and provide a reward for loyal players who remain engaged during the content drought until the release of Dragonflight at the end of the year.
What do you think of this mount? A cool thing or too silly? And how should one best be able to obtain this mount?
