Amazing WoW: Post-Mortem Animation

October 9, 2007 By Gitr 9 Comments

After killing Frostmaw for the umpteenth time yesterday with my new level 33 Blood Elf paladin, I noticed something… strange. Even in death, he kept gripping and ungripping his staff. I felt like I was in a suspense movie and his corpse was going to suddenly sit up and start fighting again. For some irrational reason, I was ready for another fight; maybe they added some new content after 2.2 that I didn’t catch in the patch notes.

Good for me, he stayed dead, because the whole cave had respawned and I was severely out of mana and I sat down to drink. And. The. Hand. Kept. Moving.

Can you find or recall any other mobs that have post-mortem animation?

    There are some mobs — I want to say Murlocs — that will periodically blink even after death. I doubt it’s intentional on Blizz’s part.

    Thanks for stopping by Eliah!

    Now that you mention it, that does sound familiar. However, I was trying to jog my memory about some boss/mob that seemingly just won’t die after it attains the classification of “corpse.” It seems so familiar a feeling, but I can’t put my finger on it.

    It’s a mere $37.00, which more than pays for itself by saving you 3+ days to level 60. Even if you’re not a hunter, it is a great reference for what order to complete quests with some intelligent discernment on whether or not you can complete a quest at a certain level with your class.

    I believe that all yeti mobs do that gripping thing, at least Im pretty sure they do. Ive noticed a few others do it as well.
