Wrath of the Lich King Bestiary Update
The bestiary page for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
has been updated with a new creature from the upcoming expansion. Learn more
about one of the new species you’ll encounter in Northrend, the jormungar.
The fiercely aggressive jormungar are a marvel of evolution, possessing rows of chisel-like teeth capable of boring through solid rock, as well as muscular, flattened bodies well adapted to rapid underground navigation.

World of Warcraft Music Player Updated
We’ve updated our music player with a new track, “Power of the Horde” by Tenth Level Tauren Chieftain. Originally featured in Warcraft III as a hidden song, this blistering track can also be heard during the band’s live set at the Darkmoon Faire. You can also listen to a selection of other music from World of Warcraft, Warcraft III, and Warcraft II. Additional World of Warcraft music is available at the Blizzard Store.
New Fan Art
The Blizzard Fan Art Section has been updated with new pieces of artwork.
