With BlizzCon going down as we speak, what better item to cover than the hookup lots of people got at Blizzard's last big event (this event, you'll remember, we're all getting
the Murloc Suit). And on a more personal note, let me just say that: God, I hate Murky.
Name: Blue Murloc Egg
Type: Noncombat Pet
Abilities:
- Summons Murky, an annoying (some say "cute"), periodically dancing Murloc
- When you click on him, he even makes the Murggurguguglglgg murloc sound, which you can actually download from the WoW Wiki page. Although I don't know why you would-- it sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball while trying to sing.
- God, I hate Murky. Whenever my guildie pulls him out, I just feel the urge to punt him (even moreso than gnomes). Murlocs are bad enough as it is, but when they're cute and tiny... Ugh. Hate, hate, hate Murky.
How to Get It: You can't, unless you attended BlizzCon 2005-- Murky was one of the giveaways to attendees there, and Blizzard hasn't given him out since. They have given away a Pink Murloc Egg to European players (after they
messed up their Burning Crusade netherwhelp pets)-- that summoned a very similar (but pink) dancing murloc named Gurky. And with all the possible name combinations (Lurky, Turky, Jerky), and green, purple, and orange baby murlocs found within the game files, there may be more baby murlocs coming to a giveaway near you in the future (ugh, I hope not). But for now, if Murky's not yours, he never will be.
Good riddance, I say.
Getting Rid of It: See? Vendors hate him too-- they won't take him. So the only way to get rid of him is by destroying the egg-- I recommend high-velocity punting.

So how do you really feel about baby Murlocs?
/wishes he had all of them.
/wishes he could pull them all out at once and have them dance on the author's head for this completely biased article of a silly non combat pet.

In Europe Blizzard messed up the TBC Collector's Edition pet and as a bonus offered Lurky in addition to the original TBC CE pet. So in EU these fellas ain't really rare these days ;-)

Old guildie of mine's name was Murky. I dunno the specifics of how he got it, but he had a Murky pet. I think I have a screenshot somewhere of Murky :D

Baby murlocs are cute and cuddly. They just nibble your bum instead of biting your head off.
That being said, I have to agree with Mike. It would be fun to punt them!

how about posting a Phat Loot Phriday that most people can actually get in game instead of something you can only get by going somewhere crazy

It reminds me of the time I told a friend that I'd give her my Murky code. She quit WoW and now my rogue has it.
Hey JH, good for you for leaving WoW over real life! One day I will be as brave!
