New Creature Revealed for Next Expansion
Information for the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, has been scarce. However some news is trickling out and I’ve been scrambling to get updates as I can, perusing the forums for CM remarks or hints at upcoming features.
For now though, here’s the explanation for one of the game’s newest creatures: The Shovel Tusk
” The powerful and ferocious shovel tusks are easily identified by the massive curved antler which protrudes from their heads and the twin sloping tusks that extend from their jaw. The moose-like beasts use their tusks primarily to dig for food, whereas the antler makes for a fearsome ramming weapon in contests to establish dominance over other males.
The shovel tusks are territorial and will protect their feeding grounds with deadly force. Adventurers traveling in Northrend would be wise to avoid these cantankerous and unpredictable beasts.”
I’ll admit the antlers are bordering silly, but I’m sure there’s only so much you can work with before you start recycling animals or exaggerating various appendages (Notice that in Burning Crusade, many creatures have stupidly large teeth and horrible overbites?). We’ll have to see what Blizzard has in store for us next.
