The Folks over at MMO-Champion have once again dug through the latest game files and found new stuff for everyone to drool over. Grunty the Murloc Marine is just that, and if they’re following their trend from the past few events (a murloc pet, murloc costume, and mount with a murloc doll), the murloc space marine might just be the in-game item from 2009’s BlizzCon. Considering Starcraft 2’s public beta is on the verge of coming out, it fits quite perfectly.
The pet itself has an awesome gun and an animation of shooting the gun, which you can see above. Check it out or head to MMO-Champion for high res screenshots!

I will happily fork out the $40 for blizzcon on directv this year just for that pet
By Kevin on Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
i want it, but your basicly paying $125 plus airfare if your not on west coast, for this pet and some other small goodies

I’d consider going if it was for a mount, as a mount I can actually use, but I rarely use my vanity pets (including frosty and co.) as it’s just hassle to re-summon them and they get in the way of my clicking.
Though if I actually lived in the US, maybe then I’d be more likely to go.

eh, I’d rather have a mount. I hate murlocks
By DankBud420x on Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
You get a mount also you guys. As its been with the last blizzcon’s you get a murloc themed vanity pet, costume, and a mount with a murloc on it. So you DO get a mount also, not just the vanity pet. And also, why would you go ONLY for a mount if u can get it thru the DirectTV thing or from watching it on the internet both for only $40? Maybe I mis-read your post but it just seemed silly. Im goin for the fun of it and plus Ive never been so Im real excited to see what its all about. The In game items are just a lil bonus for goin.

OMG very cool i want one but if im not from USA could i pay the 40$ for the internet stream????

This pet is because blizz has made a new starcraft game. So it`s a starcraft murlock pet XP
By Warfather on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Edit on last post, it`s Murloc

By Bruknar on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I’d love to go to Blizzcon this year just to get him
By Kalgorn on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Lol. To go with all this Murlock stuff, why not a Murlock mount? Not much more rediculous than that murlock costume.
