Mists of Pandaria Beta: Beware of Darkmoon Rabbits
DeGei of Dragon Roar (also a participant of a few PTR and beta runs with us here at WoW Insider) has found the infamous Darkmoon Rabbit. What's the Darkmoon Rabbit, you may ask? Other than being the objective of an achievement in Mists of Pandaria, apparently it's bad news. According to DeGei, it has 72 million health and an attack called HUGE, SHARP TEETH that, well, lets the rabbit jump onto your neck and chew through it. You run around uncontrollably, taking a lot of damage, and you can't be healed while said rabbit is chewing through your neck.
Effectively, what we have here is a tiny, rodent-shaped world boss, folks. A world boss the potentially drops itself as a pet.
If you're dying to solo him, DeGei reports that pets don't get the debuff, so it's feasible for a warlock or hunter to pull it off ... but that 72 million health means you should bring something to read if you intend to attempt it.
Huge, sharp teeth, people. You have been warned. Speaking as a man who has a rabbit, you do not trifle with them.
It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!

Possible new "Hunter Pet"????? ;)

Currently it's a boss level monster on the PTR. There are pictures on the above links. So that's highly doubtful. Follow the links for more information.

And I thought I'd never ever see that hellish Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3 again.

I know everyone else is thinking Monty Python.... but the black rabite came to mind for me, too.

I saw a rabbit on my way to work this morning. I'm lucky to still be breathing.

We cannot risk another frontal attack!

So will one of the darkmoon vendors sell a holy hand grenade engineering pattern for 200 tickets that lets you either get a buff or 'ninja kick the damn rabbit' off you or your friend?
