First of all, I am blown away by the detail put into the underwater zones, but I got a chuckle out of the new Whale Shark mobs swimming around. I love the way they look, but they have one major flaw.

Someone must have goofed and started with a "whale" skeleton instead of a "shark" one and used the whale animations, because they swim with the up-and-down motion of the in game whales. Not the (correct) side-to-side motion of a shark.

Anyone else sit there gawking at them and wondering how in the world that got by the QC department? I laughed.

Whale Shark has asked me to let you know that it is displeased by your tone, and to deliver the following message:

    Whale Shark is the devourer of the slow moving and inattentive. This includes plankton, whales, and AFK players.

    Whale Shark swims where and how it pleases. Whale Shark /spits on your science.

I hate to do this but...

He tried to eat Chuck Norris. He's still got forward momentum from the butt whoopin'...


    Whale Shark is nonplussed by tiny beard men.


If you aggroed Whale Shark, he would swim through the ground or air to get you.


    Whale Shark /spits on your "laws of physics".
