Around Azeroth: Someone to watch over me
Holy moley, it's the skeleton of an Octorok! Or possibly Birdo finally realized how universally mocked he was and swam out to the bottom of the sea. Our submitter, beta tester Gormmad of Coldarra-EU, doesn't know the exact origins of this underwater skeleton (located just south of the Emerald Dragonshrine in the Dragonblight.) However, he believes that it's the second-biggest corpse in all the Dragonblight, coming in only second to the bones of meta-dragon Galakrond. I'm not in the beta, so I'll have to take Gormmad's word for it.
This image came to us straight from the Wrath of the Lich King beta -- and we'd love to have your beta screenshots, too! If you have anything our readers might like, beta or not, sharing it is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. And, please, no more sunsets! Unless it's a sunset over Arthas's grave.

Seening something that huge, even in game, makes me really uncomfortable for some reason.

It looks more like an owl to me. I dont see the circular mouths that Birdo and the octoroks have :S

You win massive Cool Points for dual Nintenda references.

Looks almost like the dead Old One at the Master's Glaive.

I see a giant platypus.

Are you sure that's a skeleton? Looks like poorly modeled mounds of dirt to me.

There's a pretty clear spine. Dunno if it's a skeleton, but it's at least an Easter egg designed to look like one.

Semi off topic: I'm so excited to learn about Galakrond. He sounds awesomesocks, and the idea that the Scourge wants to raise him as a frost wyrm makes me really happy in ways I shouldn't be.
