What the video says
A tiny, hunched-back raccoon from Seattle has just secured a pivotal role in one of the biggest virtual worlds in history. Blizzard has officially confirmed that the viral social media sensation, Jimothy, is coming to World of Warcraft as an in-game pet companion.
This eye-catching addition marks a meaningful shift in how major developers quickly adapt internet trends into playable material. The real-life raccoon captured hearts worldwide due to a unique deformity that results in his smaller size and distinct hunched back.
Now, Blizzard is taking the trend to the next level, teasing a digital model of the animal on social media with the message, "You asked, Timothy answered." While his exact release date in Azeroth remains unannounced, reports suggest he could cost between $10 and $15 if he debuts in the Blizzard Shop.
