Making World of Warcraft Cute and Cuddly

Blizzard have transmorphed some of the virtual denizens of Azeroth into cute and furry stuffed animals before, but it looks like they are about to release a new cute injection. The baby versions of World of Warcraft’s in-game taxis, wind riders and gryphons, are about to get a plushie makeover. Look for ’em exclusively at Blizzard’s own store [via Technabob]:

The best part: Both of these sweet new toys come with codes for your characters to unlock them as non-combat pets in-game as well. WoW players may recognize these guys right away, but what better way to say “I love you” to a non-Warcraft fan than to give them cute versions of scary creatures they don’t know — and get something for yourself at the same time? I could think of a number of things, but hey, it’s still genius!
