Murky the Baby Murloc is a specialist hero from the Warcraft franchise. Appearing in the MMORPG World of Warcraft as a combat companion, he was a promotional character who could be obtained during Blizzcon 2005. His rarity made him a particularly expensive ressource for those who wanted to aquire him several years after.
At face value this petite murloc may not appear to be as formidable as other Heroes, but Murky wears down opponents by repeatedly respawning from his cleverly-hidden eggs a few second after being killed. Just when you thought you got rid of him, he's baaaack!
The origins and history of the murloc race are shrouded in mystery. A large part of this is because their lore is passed down via their own oral tradition, which is almost incomprehensible to most other sentient races, but also because murlocs generally have very little tolerance for other races. Murlocs often congregate in heavily populated coastal settlements, and are more than willing to assist each other when threatened. While many have debated on their intelligence, there is reason to believe that their use of weaponry and uncanny fighting abilities may actually imply that they possess a rather sinister racial intellect.
Like the enigmatic origins of the murloc race, Murky's past is also veiled in a variety unanswered questions. Who is he? Where does he come from? He dies again and again, and yet each time, returns to life from his egg. Stranger yet, when he emerges, he looks and sounds precisely the same. Does he possess unspeakable powers? Could he be immortal? The world may never know.
Let's be clear from the start, Murky is a real pain. With a lot of slows from his abilities and his skill to constantly respawn very quickly he will constantly be on your heels. Dealing some very decent damage (especially with his Pufferfish that damages structures), he'll have fun playing at kamikaze since he can reappear pretty much anywhere thanks to his eggs. Be on your guard.
