In Borean Tundra there's a cave with its entrance hidden underwater behind some grass. Inside, the glowing orb on the altar is a decoy, and the real prize is a white murloc egg tucked into a nest behind it. Loot it and you can summon Terky, a tiny white murloc who breaks into a little dance every now and then.
Everyone treats murlocs as a joke, but Warcraft's own lore hints otherwise. After learning their language, King Mrgl-Mrgl found the Winterfin murlocs of Borean Tundra to be just as intelligent as any 'civilized' race, and Brann Bronzebeard reckons they're smart enough not to let anyone know it.
All Ghillied Up is the thirteenth level you actually play, but story-wise it's the very first thing that happens in the whole game, set a full decade before the rest of the campaign. It's an unusual structural choice for an FPS campaign of that era.
Fred Armisen's grumpy old ape Cranky Kong isn't just some random elder statesman of the Kong family. According to Mario lore, he's actually the very same Donkey Kong that squared off against Jumpman in the 1981 arcade game, just decades older and a lot crankier about it.
Netflix greenlit a second season remarkably fast, with showrunner Matt Owens confirming the renewal in a public message to fans roughly two weeks after the show's premiere, by which point it had already crossed 37.8 million views.
Drake's Fortune earned itself a spot in Tony Mott's well-known book '1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die', sitting alongside a curated list of titles considered essential playing across gaming history.
Files found on the original PS2 disc reference Trashmaster missions, basically trash-collecting jobs where you'd haul garbage containers to a junkyard. They never made it into the finished game and instead resurfaced years later in Liberty City Stories, suggesting the idea was simply shelved rather than scrapped outright.
A simple early Barrens quest asked Horde players to track down an orc named Mankrik's missing wife, but his directions were so vague that thousands of confused low-levels ended up asking for her location in general chat, over and over, for years. The joke outlived the actual quest, which was eventually removed, though her grave still sits near Grol'dom Farm for anyone curious enough to go looking.
The multiplayer side of Brotherhood wasn't handled by the same team that built Ezio's Rome. That fell to Ubisoft Annecy, the studio previously responsible for the multiplayer in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and lead designer Arnaud Mametz has talked about the headache of translating a stealth game built for one player into something that worked for a crowd.
