In what appears to be the start of the World of Warcraft 5th anniversary celebrations, Night Elf Mohawks have entered WoW! You can go visit Mr. Night Elf Mohawk outside any of the races starting zones. In particular we were able to see the Night Elf outside of the human starting area of Northshire, and near the Undead starting area of Tirisfal Glades -- on any live server, not on the PTR. This is also only on North American servers right now. Reports indicate that the Night Elf Mohawk will appears on EU and Korean servers starting November 24th.
When you get there you'll want to talk to him, make him pity the fool. And in return you'll get a five Mohawk Grenades that let you make others wear a Night Elf Mohawk mask. You can get more grenades once your five are all used up.
There is a 50 minute buff called "Mohawked" with the flavor text of "You pity the fool" that gets placed on you when you wear the mask. You can right click the debuff to remove it.
Check out the gallery below for images from this little Monday afternoon surprise. And just for kicks, the original Mr. T WoW commercial after the break. When you watch the commercial again, note how Mr. T's in-game self looks exactly like his character does in the commercial, quite neat!
Update: There is now an FAQ on the Night Elf Mohawk, which is reproduced after the break.

From the official FAQ:
Q. What is the Mohawk Grenade?
A. The Mohawk Grenade is Mr. T's latest invention: an in-game item that, when hurled at another character, gives everyone within the blast radius an instant T-riffic haircut. Don't worry, you and your friends will look gooooood.
Q. Where do I get it?
A. Quit your jibber-jabber and claim your Mohawk Grenades from any of the Night Elf Mohawk NPCs camped outside every starting zone.
Q. What regions are eligible to claim the Mohawk Grenade?
A. North America, Europe and Korea.
Q. Is this a permanent item?
A. Each Mohawk Grenade has five charges before exhausting its power, and you're welcome to claim another once the charges are gone.
Q. How long will the Mohawk Grenade be available in-game?
A. Claim Mohawk Grenades starting November 16th in North America and November 24th in Europe and Korea. They'll be available until... well, until the Night Elf Mohawk decides his work is done.
Q. Where can I see the Mr. T commercials?
A. The commercials will be airing on major TV networks throughout North America beginning on November 16th and in Europe starting on November 27th.

Oh, this is fantastic. Much /love to Blizz.

The most important question is, will this make you afraid to take flight paths?
Knob Nov 16th 2009 2:23PM
And just to hijack this post in order to gain better visibility, it'll only be available in the EU and Korean realms from the 24th of November.

I eagerly await a quest in which we have to slip Mr. Night Elf Mohawk some drugged milk to get him on the zeppelin. (God, I hope his cat is named Face.)

Where is this in the game? PTR or otherwise.
Rapskallion Nov 16th 2009 1:36PM
While useless and silly... it's things like this that remind me why I love this game. Two thumbs up to Blizz for continuing to add in flavor like this.

Guess I should l2read the article...

We started commenting before the article was done ^_^

What snowfeather said :)
Snowfeather Nov 16th 2009 1:37PM
I am currently standing in front of the tree in the photo on US The venture Co, and looks like it has not arrived as of yet.
Snowfeather Nov 16th 2009 1:40PM
Needs to be an edit function on these... I was at the wrong tree XD
Dysheki Nov 16th 2009 1:57PM
Or VeCo is just a slow, backwater server that no one cares about XD
However, my main comment is to fix this statement: "You can right click the debuff to remove it" and add "or shapeshift" because Blizz hates druids >:-|
Snowfeather Nov 16th 2009 2:05PM
OMG I know Dysheki. Nothing says hatred of druids more than all of this stuff, and achievements that need you to be disguised.... Stupid holiday gnomes and Dark Iron Dwarves.
Barclissas Nov 16th 2009 1:37PM
OMG truly amazing, sad that I wont be able to stock up on these and have fun for years to come :(.
And for anyone not familiar with the reference:

"Maybe Mr. T hacked the game and created a Mohawk class!
Maybe Mr. T's pretty handy with computers!
Had that occurred to you, Mr. condescending director?"
