Blizzard Store Unveils World of Warcraft Blossoming Ancient Pet

Hot off the heels of the release of the Armored Bloodwing mount, Blizzard’s released another purchasable creature to the public. The Blossoming Ancient is an in-game pet that will actually change appearance depending on the time of the year, according to the store description. This adorable little tree creature will run gamers $10.00. The Blizzard store offered this bit of background on the newest in-game pet:
“Born from a seed of one of the Ancients, these spirited saplings are destined to regrow and heal Azeroth from the devastation caused by the Shattering. Adopt one, and you’ll be rewarded with joy throughout the year – as each new season begins, the Blossoming Ancient changes, bringing new life to its surroundings.
Once activated, this in-game pet key applies to all present and future World of Warcraft characters on a single North American Battle.net account.”
I enjoy the effects of this pet. Fighting the temptation to buy it. I hope they give NPCs this kind of effect. Even if it’s not something seasonal. Maybe have non quest givers go to sleep at night or just some simple things like that, that give the game a little more depth.
I would love that. I suggested via twitter that Druids get a glyph that makes their tree form reflective of the seasons.
That would be cool! I feel like WoW is missing little things like this that would be the extra sprinkle of fun the game is missing.
