Blizzard loves its Easter eggs, and so do we. There are literally hundreds of🅰 hidden references to popular movies, television shows, music, and videogames. Thereꦐ are even nods to classic literature for you wordy types. Here’s a collection of some of our favorites along with details on how to hunt them down.
Film and Television

There are a few Big Lebowski references in WoW, but the release of WotLK brings the best in the form of dwarves Lebronski, Walt,🍌 Donny and a quest involving a soiled rug, lo♈cated on the Howling Fjord.
Ace Ventura
Brave players will find a gnome named Finkle Einhorn in ✃the liter𓆏al belly of The Beast in Upper Blackrock Spire. His name refers to Jim Carrey’s crazed transsexual foe in the first Ace Ventura.
Apocalypse Now
Colonel Kurzꦰen is located in Kurzen’s Compound in Stranglethorn Vale. The story of how he got there matches closely with the lif🍸e of Colonel Kurtz, played by Marlon Brando.
