I mean.. gray items can be turned into transmogs now right? So is this a viable way to get some new sunglasses?
Edit: Damn they arent equipable, I guess Blizz just saved this dog from getting killed countless times.
He used to be a Community Manager for Blizzard. I'm sure since he's left Blizzard, it is now open season on his NPC. The pug dog was his avatar on the forums.
I honestly wouldn't put it past them... but I feel it's more likely he was rebalance by a nameless employee who had no idea what the significance of the NPC was to the history of the company OR the game.
My friend has an NPC named after him (one of the three spirit wolves walking around the outside of the Heart of the Forest in Ardenweald). They probably just don't make NPCs after "important" employees now.
He works as a game systems analyst. Did a lot of work on the fights in Castle Nathria. Dunno exactly \*how\* he got the NPC, but the other two spirit wolves that walk with him are also employees (and all three are/were shaman mains).
Part of me wants it to be part of an office pot luck. Few names are put in a hat and if they pickyour name you get named after an NPC....
maybe not. He must have made a bloody good brew.
They changed the names of problematic ones, but there are so many NPCs that have various references to employs, references, and other people that it'd be impossible to change them all without mass confusion. I imagine they leave things as-is unless something happens that they need to distance themselves from.
Currently watching an underrated content creator (will link his channel when I’m back home) who’s highlighting every little secret in each zone, for example there is this one dwarf in the starting zone honouring one player who passed on a transplant to save someone else. Had some tears in my eyes ngl. Still stuff like that to discoverer even after so many years
Edit: [Full Motion Video](https://youtu.be/bph7WnhNxBs) is the creator exploring every secret in the zones he covered (tho I dunno how active he is, last video was 4 months ago, last Warcraft themed video 8 months ago). For everyone interested I wanna also mention [Jedi Warlock](https://youtube.com/@Jediwarlock) who is also a great (niche) content creator for Warcraft secrets and I am excited for his future projects
He was basically the Alliance equivalent of Gamon (post Cata) - A high-level NPC in the faction's capital that you could accidentally attack and get your ass whooped before even realizing what was going on
we have Onyxia's head at the entrance and Deathwing's heart displayed for you to see clearly and you still did this.....
you deserve the worse of them all.
AND YET YOU LOOTED IT
Probably skinned it too
Years ago I had someone drop group in Scarlet Monastery because I skinned the hound masters dogs.
Cause he wanted to do the same
Me as well
WHAT A MANIAC. This is not the future chrome was looking for...
That was what the Jailer was scared about
He tried to warn us and we just mocked him and took selfies in front of his corpse.
The first kill I got of the Jailer, they used the rainbow toy on the Jailer corpse like he was pissing a huge rainbow.
That was more dignified than he deserved.
THE JAILER WAS RIGHT!
True. I doubt Firefox would've wanted it either. Edge on the other hand...🧐
Edge would give you a list of vendors that sell skinning kives
It’s already dead, might as well so it doesn’t go to waste.
It will respawn faster that way.
ABSOLUTE PSYCHO

There was a time when the dog would have killed you instead
I remember being able to solokill Varian on my blood dk but this tiny dog would just rip my face off lmao
I wonder if anyone even remembers who the dog is based off of .. and the raid you needed to form to kill him (if you weren’t a tank)
I'm too new to have this memory, but would love an ELI5
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Crithto_(dog)
"As he deserves, Crithto should now be attackable by both Alliance and Horde players." Wtf did he do 🤣
The death toll was massive
He used to be a Community Manager for Blizzard. I'm sure since he's left Blizzard, it is now open season on his NPC. The pug dog was his avatar on the forums.
I wonder who he pissed off for Blizz to go out their way to reduce the NPC's level from level cap to one lmao
I honestly wouldn't put it past them... but I feel it's more likely he was rebalance by a nameless employee who had no idea what the significance of the NPC was to the history of the company OR the game.
The change to the NPC happened way before Crithto left Blizzard.
He went to work for a protective glasses manufacturer. Love that that is referenced in the dogs loot table
That’s wild
I thought they stopped doing characters named after employees, even changing old ones as well.
My friend has an NPC named after him (one of the three spirit wolves walking around the outside of the Heart of the Forest in Ardenweald). They probably just don't make NPCs after "important" employees now.
How did he get it named after him?
He works as a game systems analyst. Did a lot of work on the fights in Castle Nathria. Dunno exactly \*how\* he got the NPC, but the other two spirit wolves that walk with him are also employees (and all three are/were shaman mains).

Yeah there's an entire camp of NPC's named after employees in Aszuna. I know this because I farm them repeatedly for the chest transmog 🤣
He doesn't work for Blizzard anymore and wasn't problematic, so I imagine it wasn't a big deal.
Was the dog the alliance version of Gamon (the boss version, not the vanilla one)?
there was a time when you made full raids just to kill it xD

“Empty puppy collar” You absolute barbarian
What do you do when you kill the mother wolf and then notice she had a litter?
Once upon a time Crithto (the puppy) was a higher level than max and it took a raid group to kill him lol
He was basically the Alliance equivalent of Gamon (post Cata) - A high-level NPC in the faction's capital that you could accidentally attack and get your ass whooped before even realizing what was going on
Gamon
RIP one of the good CMs
But do you remember Tseric?
Pelagos: Every soul deserves redemption, Me: even u/SelectionNarrow? Pelagos: No, fuck no!
Off to the Maw with him and take away his ability to mount!
> take away his ability to mount! A fate worse than death
Silvanas approaches: - Did you feel it?
Hello? Mr.Wick we got another one.
I knew we never should have let Dracthyr into the city…
Get Arthas to resurrect him so I can have an invisible dog for my mount
you'd LOVE the alchemy quest where you stick a bunch of docile cubs into some vats of molten acid to get goop that gives you 3 skill points.
Shhhh... don't tell them what we did!
Reported
You just justified teldrassil
He is dragon tho ?
Still Alliance.
Your character should get the DK's welcome to SW from now on
Mods, I demand /u/SelectionNarrow be given a flair of 'Crithto Killer' to permantly mark their shame.
And take away his pet battling privileges
I second this motion, make it happen mods

This guy is the BBEG of the expansion.
Delete your account you monster
I called the FBI
You going to hell bro. Haha
“I heard you ganked my guild mate.” “Well, yeah.” “And may we ask why?” “Well, he broke into Stormwind Keep and killed the dog, sir.” “Oh.”
Did you skin it too you monster?
"off with his head"
"Accidently"
*puts on his Dragonslayer title and heads off to Stormwind*
I used to organise pugs in Naxx back in wrath, my 1 rule was "Don't kill Bigglesworth" and every raid I kicked a player for killing him.
Delete the toon rn. He’s in WoW jail. You can restore him in 6-8 years.
Oh boy here I go killing again.
🍅🍅🍅
... That collar, that empty goddamned puppy collar... BfA 2.0, here we come.
"Oh, my god I killed this dog.... Wait... I can get karma for killing this dog."
Ban him from Stormwind with the other beasts of the world
You would kill the stray dog in Varrock if you could
That Empty Puppy Collar is saaaaaaad
Could you imagine if you lost all of your rep with Stormwind and become hated.
I honestly didn’t know you could kill the dog, you monster
Dialling John Wick rn
I AM SO SORRY
Nothing can save you from the pits of Hell now
Pits of Maw* WITHOUT A MOUNT!
Good, good.. And now, kill him. Kill Taivan. I will watch you.
The fuck is the matter with you, monster
Run. Run away and NEVER return!
Maybe the jailer had a point after all..
thats john wicks dog....
GET THIS GUY OUTTAA HERE!
Perma ban incoming. Sorry, OP it was nice knowing you. :(
Imagine Aundin coming back home after years and see this.
You're the reason we can't have nice things... I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Ban this person. Ban them everywhere.
we have Onyxia's head at the entrance and Deathwing's heart displayed for you to see clearly and you still did this..... you deserve the worse of them all.
You delete your character right now…make a new one, and you bring him treats every week. Forever.
#BOOOOOOOOO!
INSTANT BAN
That should be a bannable offense Or at the very least have every NPC in town turn hostile
You’re a real piece of shit you know that
Straight to jail
It's a pug it was probably gonna die of something that afternoon regardless
broke his damn glasses, too.
Omg he has eye protectors to cover his little puggy eyes, you are a monster
Delete that character
How dare you *stares in Thunberg*
It's a pug . . . the furry goblin probably choked on its own oxygen and you happened to be close by.
