Around Azeroth: What has been seen cannot be unseen
Winterschill of Kirin Tor sent in this screenshot of the new leper gnome boss Krick in the Pit of Saron. Krick seems too terrified to be much of an effective fighter without his giant mount. This may be why there aren't a whole lot of gnome bosses in this game. Or maybe Krick is upset because he looks like the end result of an unholy Saturday night liaison between a bottle of vodka and the random character generator.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot 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. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

Thanks to WowInsider! Got that pic yesterday night. Thought it would be funny to shoot him while he was terrified by Jaina.

Got a typo on the mail. There is no Winterschill on Kirin Tor, I'm actually on Kul Tiras.:)

Leper Gnome? I always thought it was just a regular half-pint but under the control of the Lich King. He's not really green like a Leper, ya know? Just... dead and comicly resurrected.

Lol, I got a picture exactly like this myself. He looks so funny cowering in fear with a vibrant pink mohawk.

Gnomes are just as brave as any of the other NPCs who surrender to player characters.
Frankly, he's probably thinking "oh, crap, it's Jaina, one of the few female characters in the game and a fanboy favorite. No way the middle boss of a 5-man instance is going to kill her, whereas I'm complete cannon fodder."
He SHOULD be nervous.

I have a gnome DK that looks a bit like Krick.
ps: it was scotch, not vodka.
Wow.com should do a poll on what people drink while playing and how many people are PWI (playing while intoxicated).

I don't care as long as 1. They aren't acting stupid. 2. They don't keep saying "I'm so drunk".
Kid, no one cares if you are drunk.

I've always found that tanks are the heaviest drinkers, while healers tend to prefer to light up while gaming. This is a pretty unscientific study, but I've almost always known one drunk tank and one high healer.

I charge across the crystalline white of Northrend, the frozen wind painfully tearing at my exposed flesh from armor damaged by my recent melee, my blood still hot in my ears and in my vision from the dead and dying I leave behind me, torn asunder by the pernicious blade and my skill in wielding such a massive weapon - those cultists never stood a chance. Fools! Yet come they did, descending upon me like the infestation they were, so briefly stood they, poised to unleash an unholy blight upon the land...when suddenly, my reverie is interrupted by an errant thought. It gnaws at my being, demanding attention in the most peculiar means. I stop, attempting to ascertain its significance in all that is around me. The once-thundering beast beneath me now heaving billowing plumes of frost into the chill of the night, pawing restlessly at the tundra to ride, ride, ride! Onward and forever, but nay, not for a moment more until I put to rest this conundrum that plagues my mind...
Shall I pour a Rum & Coke, or grab another beer from the fridge?

Oh, and that wasn't directed at you, it was directed towards the ones that do that.

Krick really wishes your main tank would wear pants more often.

If horde had to get a whacked out magic race in BC, we should've gotten leper gnomes and not blood elves. :)
Artificial Dec 20th 2009 4:24PM
Naw, that'd be too Alliance.
You know what the difference between a gnome and a leper gnome is?
Yeah, me neither...

Oh god, it as titled from a 4chan quote!
