No hoax: Critter Wars!

[Karathyriel]

So I came home, excited to see what has changed while I was away to do my practical training and since my new hunter is a tauren, I started to inspect Thunderbluff first. Almost no changes besides Baine replacing Cairne and Magatha gone. Oh, and the new class trainers of course.

Then I saw a path, leading up to another tauren stetlement. So I went to inspect what was going on over there. I followed the path through the Grimtotem camp, fighting everywhere against Bloodhooves, all the way up to the mountain top. It was all green and a lot of critters but no mobs. You could see Mulgore, Stonetalon and Desolace from up there. I clicked on one of the critters, a mouse, only to be surprised. There is a war going on up there! Mice kill rabbits, rabbits kill prairie dogs and so on. And they change!

I took some screens to show you guys:

Rabbits with axes:



Prairie dog with helmet and dagger:


Mice with skulls as heads and guns:



This is not photoshoped or a hoax in any way.
It can be seen near Thunderbluff on live realms!

Creepy, isn't it?

What have we done to anger P DAWG?

[Rikaku]

Ok where exactly is this? :O I definitely want to see this!

I bet its some sort of reference to something. If it weren't for the weapons, it'd remind me of The Secret of NIMH or Watership Down.

[Fael]

Or Redwall maybe.. o_O

The Troll skulled rats remind me of Cubone from Pokémon...

*ducks to avoid the flying tomatos*

[Azunara]

Cubone! I remember the cubone graveyard in...the Lavender Tower, I believe? You needed the Silph Scope.

Ok where exactly is this?

If you go to Thunderbluff, you can see a Grimtotem camp, where the 3rd well corrupted by the Venture Co used to be.
There is a path going up, through the Grimtotem camp.
Follow that path all the way up to the mountain top. You know you're at the right spot when you can see Mulgore, Stonetalon Mountains and Desolace from there.
Watch the critters!

.................WTF? WHy? Why are they armed?

[Mockingbird]

.................WTF? WHy? Why are they armed?

What kind of fool rabbit would go to war without arming itself?

[VelkynKarma]

Precisely!

I have a feeling this has something to do with P Dawg's will...with the world changing, it's only natural that P Dawg would need to show himself again...
