Tying one on
The other night after a hard day feeding Nether rays and toting orphans around the world, I landed in Allerian Stronghold at the opportune moment. Someone was turning in their quest, and to celebrate the NPCs cracked open a keg of wine. Now, far be it from me to pass up free booze, so I down my 5 servings in one go. Maybe I was feeling nostalgic for ZG, maybe I just wanted to see which Horde city I would end up in, not sure. But what I found was the greatest little surprise I've found in the game in a while.
Pink elekks. Yessir, you heard me, if you get drunk enough in Allerian you see pink elekks. Okay, there's only one, but it's delightful nonetheless. Being that I'm not much of a drinker outside the game, I find this hilarious. It's details like these that remind me why I started playing the game, and why I continue to do so. The sense of humor is undeniable in the game design, and it's a huge part of why I've become such a WoW fangirl.
I am not sure if these colorful elekks will show up in other locals in Outland, I haven't tried it yet. I do know that you can use any old alcohol to get ripped in Allerian and enjoy a romp with a pink pachyderm. It all makes me want to break out my Disney clamshell collection again. Good times.
