Around Azeroth: Damn it feels good to be a moonkin
"During my evening stroll to the barbershop in Dalaran the other night, I noticed that something was slightly different," writes submitter Aucadia of <Exiled Souls> on Terenas (EU-H). "A giant bird was nesting in front of my bank. When I came back from my shave and haircut, I noticed the creature was gone. 'Those kind of birds can't fly,' I thought to myself. 'Hmm.' Using my orc-given deductive skills, I figured out that this bird was in fact a druid. To make things worse, an alliance druid. 'He can't face the might of the Horde,' I said. 'Good thing he left.' But in the back of my mind, I could only hear of the words of a coward: 'Giant bird, must not scream!'"

Dagnabit, Nathanyel, you're supposed to keep it a secret. I still have to go out, take my "giant character" pictures and get them submitted before Around Azeroth starts saying "no more giant characters". If everyone knows, then I'll have less time and I haven't gotten that daily yet!

I think druids are good in either horde or alliance. Not much difference.

I, for one, welcome our new boomkin overlords!

Pff, ass-kisser. You are just scared of them, aren't ya?
I for one will fight the oppression by the druids!
Viva la revolución!

Spawn more moonkins!

I know the boomkek in question here has likely grown to the massive size he appears to be in the picture, however from first glance I thought the shot could have easily been a perspective shot and that the boomkek was actually in a freefall and that camera was close enough to the kek to make it look like he was rlyrly big.
yet, it's easy to identify the motion he's in at the time is a /dance and not a freefall animation.
Still: boomkeks = win

this looks shopped. I can tell from some of the feathers, and from seeing a few boomkin in my time.

So you're saying you're pretty good at detecting these things?

ENHAN...
Oh, nevermind. There's too many cliches in this thread as it is. ;)
Groth Aug 9th 2010 6:07PM
this may look shopped, but having seen this on Terenas myself, I can assure you it's not. My main thought at the time was 'pity it's an ally laserchicken'.

All Hail the Boomkins!

We will now have our revenge for all the Thanksgiving dinners where you ate our friends, and the Noblegarden hunts where you search for our eggs!
Hanak Aug 9th 2010 6:44PM
The noble garden bunny is a chicken?
Aaron Aug 9th 2010 10:58AM

"You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small. Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes. "

Your Boomkin is soooo fat...
Jez Aug 9th 2010 1:05PM
I HATE Moonkins.. they're so fat and stupid and no-one likes them and their stupid Starfall spell is stupid. They squeal like a branded pig every time they get critted - a sound that both repulses and delights me.
I hate Moonkins and you should too. I vote Cat and Bear get their own tree and Moonkins are removed. Only emos play them, anyway... people who want to be different so they roll a class that no-one likes to get attention.
Next time you see a Moonkin in a BG, race towards them and axe them in the face while your rogue friend S.Dance-Garottes them for a 12-second silence. Kill the Moonkins.
Please vote this up if you like or hate moonkins.
