** That, however, is a perfect example of [[Cursed with Awesome]], because you're given VERY strong abilities when you're in skeletal form.
* The Razorfen Downs in the Barrens. Imagine, a mostly dark labyrinth with massive thorn vines hanging overhead. This, in its own right, isn't that creepy, but when you throw in a rather large army of zombies, including undead anthropomorphic pigs and zombified regular pigs (which is quite disgusting if you happen to be eating pork at the time), it gets a little hair-raising. The undead pig-men aren't too creepy in their own right, just how mutilated they actually look, much worse than most other zombies. They pretty much look more like normal pig-men wearing armor [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090724183330/wowwiki/images/b/b9/Withered_Spearhide.jpg made of bacon]. Then we get to the issue of how this happened. It's sort of implied that the leader of the quilboar people actually ''sold out her own people to the Scourge,'' and the majority of the race ''has no idea it's going on basically across the street.''
* Remember the little jewel of terror that occurs in the normally peaceful little village of Goldshire, Elwynn Forest. While the entire town, neigh, the entire zone is very serene, there's the one little random spot of horror that is the infamous "Children of Goldshire." To elaborate, in the upstairs of one of the few buildings in town (think leatherworking trainers) there is a back room where you will, on somewhat rare occasions, find a group of six children huddled in a pentagram with one of them in the middle. They don't talk or interact at all, they just...stand there, staring. They will stare in one of a few directions, notably toward Stormwind to the west. When you enter the room, you'll notice that the room is slightly darker than the rest of the building. When the children are there (although I'm not sure if it will happen when they aren't there) you will hear one of several ominous and terrifying voice clips. Most famous is "you will die." Sometimes the children will actually leave the room and run off toward the Valley of Heroes in Stormwind or to the southeast corner of Northshire. When they get there, they'll just stand there, the same boy in the middle, and the other five will form the pentagram again, sometimes changing positions. Worst of all, the event is never explained at all. Speculation is that the Scourge are involved somehow.
** They can occasionally be found in patterns other than a pentagram. This troper has observed (or more correctly, is currently observing) [http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg307/NJ_Ninja/DemonChildren-1.png the children in an hourglass-like formation].
** Their room is exactly 666 yards from Stormwind.
* NDA on Cataclysm was just lifted. [http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3593/3f3bdbd343b3ee0b08cd643.jpg Guess what the testers found!]
** Oh, it gets worse. Play the ''Starcraft II'' mission on Aiur and tell me that... ''thing'' in the screenshot doesn't look like the Overmind.
