In-game jokes in mini-pet descriptions
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 5:48 pm
Here's a list of references I caught while reading the new pet descriptions over on Mmo-champ.
Brown Rabbit:
"This bunny is the cutest thing its opponent will ever see. It'll also be the last." <- Monty Python, Holy Grail
Chicken:
"Tends to avoid crossing roads, regardless of motivation." <- derrr
Clouded Hedgehog:
"Hedgehogs are not at all fond of croquet nor flamingos." <- Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
Cornish Rex Cat:
"Donni Anthania invites these cats to her tea parties. But she doesn’t serve them their favorite drink: the tears of their enemies." <- Shrek, I think
Enchanted Broom:
"Created by a blood elf apprentice, this broom would be extremely useful if anyone could figure out how to make it stop." <- Fantasia
Enchanted Lantern:
"Reduces the likelihood of being eaten by monsters when you enter pitch-black places." <- I think this is reference to being eaten by a grue. Grues are nasty unknown trogg things that eat your soul if you try and advance in dark places.
Feline Familiar:
"Ride with the moon (and this furry, whiskered witch) in the dead of night!" <- Nightmare Before Christmas
Fjord Rat:
"If not for being extremely accident prone, the fjord rat might take over the world." <- Pinky and the Brain
Fossilized Hatchling:
"You stare at her, and she just stares right back. So clever; sometimes it seems as if she’s figuring out how to open doors." <- Jurassic Park
Horde Balloon:
"A magical wonder, these balloons will never deflate and are traditionally created in batches of ninety-nine." <- The song 99 Red Balloons, by Nena
Rat:
"The intrepid archaeologist Harrison Jones has a well documented fear of rats." <- Long-winded spoof on Indiana Jones and his distaste of snakes
Singing Sunflower:
"This sweet flower will brighten your day with its warm smile and cheerful song! Also strong against undead." <- Plants vs. Zombies
Sinister Squashling:
"This mischievous gourd like to pop out of the ground and scare you right out of your pants. Hail to the pumpkin song!" <- Nightmare Before Christmas
Snake:
"Due to recent accidents, the goblin cartels have prohibited anyone from bringing snakes on a zeppelin." <- Snakes on a Plane
Snowshoe Rabbit:
"If you go chasing snowshoe rabbits, you know you're going to fall." <- the song White Rabbit, by Jefferson Airplane
Stinker:
"Stinker uses his aroma to repel predators and attract cats. He's much more successful with the former than the latter." <- Pepe le Pew, Looney Toons
Teldrassil Sproutling:
"It always wakes up dancing. What a happy little tree!" <- The painter Bob Ross had a tv series where he always painted 'happy little trees'.
Tiny Snowman:
"He loves to dance and wave and play with you! He melts after Winter Veil, but he'll be back again someday!" <- Frosty the Snowman
White Kitten:
""The queen had three kittens. The first gave her a juicy rat. The second, a tasty hare. And the white, her favorite, presented the head of her rival."" <- I think this is related to some fairy tale, although I can't recall which.
That's all I could figure out! Feel free to add more if you spot them.
