Around Azeroth: Cherubs?
Moonsoul of Jubei'Thos offers this shot taken from the Karazhan Opera House. Though I, personally, usually spend my time in Karazhan staring at health bars, sometimes it pays to have a look around and enjoy the scenery. Otherwise, we might all have missed this unique work of Azerothian art. (For those of you checking this out full-screen, is it just me, or do those charming cherubs have horns?)

They strangely look like orcs.

This was actually one of the first screenshots of TBC Blizzard released: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/imageviewer.html?/burningcrusade/,images/screenshots/,29,241,http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/screenshots.html?24@27

At this point, finding a place in the game that hasn't appeared in a screenshot is nearly impossible. At this point, the object of the exercise isn't a new image, but a new focus or perspective; and Moonsoul's image does give us that.

Isn't the plural of "cherub" supposed to be "cherubim?"
Or is "cherubs" a valid pluralization as well? It's not flagged by my spell checker, but we all know how reliable a source those are, lol.
In any case, very nice shot. I share in the intense watching of mobs and health bars, and never really notice things like this. Maybe it's time I stop and take a look around.

Either "cherubs" or "cherubim" is appropriate. "Cherubim" is the Hebrew plural, but since "cherub" has been adopted as an English word, "cherubs" is equally valid.

Interesting! I always assumed that those were the same species (winged goblin) as Kwee Q. Peddlefeet. Based on this screenshot though, they're clearly not!

Ooh ... Good call, Taena. I was going to agree with the other posters who noticed a resemblance to Orcs, but you're right - there's more than a passing resemblance to ol' Kwee.

Holy crap they do have horns!

Looks just like little orcs green and shootin' arrows!
