Finding WOLK Easter Eggs
It just doesn’t seem much like Easter in Warcraft this weekend with Noblegarden postponed for the 3.1 patch release. I really like the silly holidays in the game, so I’m a little sad to have to wait for this one. To cheer myself up, I decided to seek out some of the fun “easter eggs” Blizzard had planted in WOLK to see them for myself. Here’s a little tour…
Endora Moorehead
One of the reagent vendors in Dalaran is named after Endora Moorhead, a witch and the mother of Samantha on the television show, Bewitched.
Bambi
Wandering around Grizzly Hills you can find Blizzard’s nod to Bambi, along with his mother and his friends Flower and Thumper.
Friar Tuck
Robin Hood was my favorite Disney animated film when I was a kid, so I just love this guy, even though he doesn’t love me and wants to kill me when I get too near lol!
Ghepetto
I love that the toy maker in Dalaran is named after Ghepetto from Pinocchio! Very sweet!
Lost Hatch
We’re total Lost nerds at my house, so this is probably my favorite Easter Egg of all! There is a hatch in Sholazar that looks like the hatch in Lost. If you mouse over the lighted window, numbers come up which are one number off from the string of highly important numbers on the T.V. show. So, so, SO cool! =)
Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones has been a favorite for me since I was just a kid. I could watch those movies a million times!
The X Files
We used to watch The X Files around here, too, so this redhead named Agent Skully cracks me up!
Battlestar Galactica
Another show we watch(ed) at my house. Love the spoof on Kara Thrace in Borean Tundra.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I never watched this particular show, but I used to babysit some kids that did. Have you seen this in the Dalaran sewers?
Wolverine
Loguhn Ripper of Flesh… lolz!

Saw something on wowinsider the other day that showed a distant mountain with the word HELP carved on it in huge letters. I’ll try to find that when I get home.
Another easter egg: the Firefly pet. It’s a reference to the cancelled TV show Firefly (one of my favorites, spawned the movie Serenity). The inventory item used to have a mouseover “Still flying.”, but that’s gone now. =^(
That Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one absolutely cracks me up! Hahaha, I have to go check that out.

lol yea I saw that the other day too, Night. Easter eggs abound. I just checked out some of the ones in Northrend, but they are really all over the game.
