Jimothy, The Viral Raccoon, Is Becoming An Earnable WoW Pet

Jimothy, the short-spined raccoon who has captured the hearts of the internet, is coming to World of Warcraft . Over the past few weeks, Jimothy the raccoon has gone absolutely viral, as Seattle locals share images and videos of the animal celebrity going about his daily life. https://twitter.com/Warcraft/status/2078495010475966556?s=20 Blizzard has now announced it managed  to "squeeze in" a functional version of the real-life cryptid as part of the MMO's upcoming 12.1 Curse of Ula'tek update. "As always with in-development content, that may shift, but the team is excited to share their own version with the intention of making him an earnable companion pet for the community." https://bsky.app/profile/worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/post/3mreamx2rw223 That's great timing, because patch 12.1 is the same patch that will see Blizzard add the ability for players to place pets from their collection in their virtual homes.
