Cataclysm Beta: Mini Deathwing discovered

The ever-vigilant MMO-Champion dug the adorable abomination embedded above out of the latest Cataclysm beta patch. It isn't quite as chin-tastic as the fan mock-up that was going around a few months ago, but it is still a righteous chin nonetheless.
There's a strong possibility that baby Deathwing will join The Burning Crusade's Netherwhelp and Wrath of the Lich King's Frost Wyrm Whelp as a collector's edition pet, but according to Boubouille, there is nothing that confirms or denies that in either direction. We might also see it as an instance or raid drop somewhere down the road, or it could come from any number of other places. The pet store, perhaps?

What's the real story on that big metal jaw, anyway?
SaintStryfe Aug 6th 2010 2:22PM
Deathwing is so powerful, his body can't contain it. In order to keep himself from just exploding, he had plates of metal attached to his body to keep it together. I assume his jaw was part of it.

The metal jaw, without going through too much explaining, is based from the War of the Ancients trilogy, where good ol' Deathwing needed it to be fashioned on his face and serveral areas on his body after the very bloody and long [in novel terms] with his fellow dragon aspects.
The jaw itself was made some loyal branch of goblins, though it never states whom they belong to faction wise, ie. Venture Co., or Kezan goblins etc.

SO. FREAKIN'. CUTE.

I hope that this isn't the Collector's Edition pet. I'm sick of dragon whelps already. BC was a netherwhelp and Wrath was a Frost Whelp. Ugh!

I agree I got all the collectors edition and I don't even bring out the whelps from tbc/wotlk. Just too many whelps its boring
nonentity Aug 6th 2010 2:24PM
That's exactly the reason why he'll be the CE pet. Why break the line of whelps?
wunderwood Aug 6th 2010 2:39PM
Collectors Edition is always a whelp, and Blizzcon is something murloc related.

@Wunder
The original WoW CE I believe was a mini-diablo, panda, or zergling thing, I think
