Phat Loot Phriday: Lil' Ragnaros

Throgg tilted his head to the side. His mouth hung open and his tongue dangled loosely. He looked like nothing so much as a happy labrador retriever. "What, little elf?"
"Waist-high fire gods," Lolegolas answered as he danced to the side. A small fire elemental stood where the blood elf had been, shaking a miniature hammer in the air. It would have been threatening if the tiny deity were larger than a trash can. "What is this thing?"
"It's Lil' Ragnaros!" Throgg exclaimed. "He's cute."
Lolegolas got down on one knee and poked toward the flaming creature with an arrow shaft. "It is kind of adorable." Lolegolas giggled. "Who's a cute little fire demon? Who's a cute little fire demon?"
"Lolegolas, don't taunt the fire demon."
"Why, can it hurt me?" the blood elf asked.
"No. That's just tacky," Throgg answered.
Lil' Ragnaros
What it is: A non-combat pet for sale through the Blizzard pet store.
How do you get it: Lil' Ragnaros will be on sale in the Blizzard pet store.
How do you get rid of it: Bucket of water? Honestly, as a learned non-combat pet, Lil' Ragnaros isn't really something you delete.
Edit: The original post indicated this pet's proceeds would go to charity. This does not seem to be the case.

I thought the Moonkin Baby was the one that went to charity?
Either way both will probably be in my inventory once on sale, they're too adorable not to be. :)

Does anyone know if Lil' Ragnaros can walk around or not? The model looks enough like the original to assume that he's stationary, but I can hope, right? ...right?

This raises an interesting question: If it could move, would it grow feet and waddle next to your over-sized legs, or slide around like a mutant lava snake?
The Angry Intern Nov 12th 2010 7:00PM
I'm betting he'll just float along side when you move

Buying Ragnaros actually doesn't have anything to do with charity. That'd be the Moonkin hatchlings.
Shame, really.
Powatodapeople Nov 12th 2010 6:38PM
well I think thats fine. i think the little moonkins will get more sales because, I mean ...
*distracted by cute baby moonkin*
Imnick Nov 12th 2010 7:23PM
Seems strange to me that they can't just make both into charity pets
Task Nov 12th 2010 6:09PM
I can see it now...
"In this corner: Deathy the Murloc!!!"
And in the opposite corner: Lil' Ragnaros!!!!"
Round 1: FIGHT!

The Moonkin is the charity pet, and neither is even available yet.

Nice Buffy reference there ;]
Jacob Parsons Nov 12th 2010 7:22PM
I *just* finished season 7 of Buffy and didn't get the reference. I feel bad.

Buffy - 4x04 - Fear Itself
A darn fine reference to a darn fine episode.
Niria Nov 12th 2010 9:01PM
Everytime I see little diablo I taunt him. I just have to, it would be wrong to just ignore that tie in. I'm glad someone else caught the reference here.

Awesome reference, poor little chaos demon vs. Xander

I'll buy this immediately if he says "Too Soon..." every time you summon him
razion Nov 12th 2010 6:31PM
Much, MUCH too soon by the looks of it. O _o

The Blizzard statement:
"They're cute, they're portable, and they're coming to the Blizzard Pet Store. But before they arrive, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of our two newest companions: Lil' Ragnaros and the Moonkin Hatchling. As announced at BlizzCon, the Moonkin Hatchling will follow in the charitable footsteps of the Pandaren Monk, with sales helping to benefit a good cause. More details, including the availability date and specific plans for the charity partnership, will be announced in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned!"

I just came in to jump on the "Ragnaros is not for charity" bandwagon. Glad to see im not alone.
Angus Nov 12th 2010 6:55PM
"No, that's just tacky."
Since no one else seemed able to laugh at Throgg being the one commenting on good taste...
dave Nov 12th 2010 7:02PM
You should *at least* hint that you are referenceing the Buffy episode "Fear, Itself":
Xander : "Who's the little fear demon? Come on, who's the little fear demon?"
Giles: "Don't taunt the fear demon."
Xander: "Why? Can he hurt me?"
Giles: "No, it's just... tacky."
