If you aren't familiar with the name, this statue of a welcoming Goblin in front of Booty Bay sits on a tiny island named Janmeiro's Point. Not that this information is particularly necessary for your gameplay experience, but you never know when it might show up on a trivia quiz ten years down the line. Also, it's pretty! Nuff said.
Around Azeroth is, you guessed it, a new daily screenshot feature. Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world? Let us know about it and you may see it here next!

Actually, there must be a brazilian among the World of Warcraft staff. The name Jameiro's Point comes from the brazilian city Rio de Janeiro and the statue is nothing more than a parody of the famous Rio landmark, Cristo Redentor. Just google it and you will see.
Another brazilian reference is the troll dance. It is Capoeira, the brazilian dance/fight.
