Around Azeroth: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water
As much as I hate the "water level" in every video game I've ever played, from Mario to Zelda to WoW, I didn't have much of a problem with Zangarmarsh. I figured that this was probably because it was more of a wetlands level than an actual underwater zone, like Vashj'ir. But after seeing this picture from Furios of Uldum, I may have to revise my assessment. I thought I remembered the eels as small and nonthreatening. I was wrong. So wrong! Why are all the enemies in this game five times bigger than the players?

"Eels are among the creepiest of Azeroth's creatures.
Sure, there are those who pretend that they don't mind them - and others who actually claim to favor them.
They are lying.
Truth be told, no one likes eels. Eels don't even like eels.
Azeroth would be a better place if no one ever had to envision an eel slithering out from the murky depths and biting them.
In the face. "

I resent that comment sir, The Parramatta Eels are my favourite football team.

Probably just some local fisherman, out for a pleasure swim, at night... in... eel-infested waters

He doesn't get eaten by the eels at this time...
(though I'm curious, too -- what mob IS that? I don't remember anything like that in Zangar.)

If you kill an eel while levitated, its corpse will mysteriously float a foot above the water surface

"Why are all the enemies in this game five times bigger than the players?"
Because machismo.
Best reason I can think of at least. Same reason guitar-playing undead ride lazer dinos on the backs of sharks.

100 Points to you sir, for posting the Mighty Boosh.

They replaced the eels in Zangarmarsh? Finally. Model proliferation is definitely helping this game. Anyone seen the undead fish in Tirisfal Glades?

Tis the eel of doom which seals your fate.

Read in the voice of Zoidberg: "You'd rather the enemies were as big as fleas, maybe?"r
