Drunk Panda

What was once a prank is now a real unit. Behold, Frozen Throne's alcoholic panda bear.

Blizzard's Warcraft III expansion, The Frozen Throne, is ready to let loose a whole lot of Warcraft III-esque goodness onto the masses when it ships this summer. Until that happens, we get to see a unit for every week leading up to release.

Today's unit, the Pandaren Brewmaster, may seem a bit familiar to some of you because Blizzard announced the Pandarens last year at the beginning of April... All part of an elaborate prank, there was even a small movie demonstrating their lethality. Now the prank has become reality and the Pandarens are ready to show their true, alcohol guzzling, bamboo eating selves in The Frozen Throne.

    Hailing from the secretive Pandaren Empire, the mighty brewmasters travel the world in search of exotic ales and the finest brewed spirits. These affable warriors rarely seek out danger or trouble, preferring instead to spend their time concocting new and tasty beverages for any brave enough to imbibe them. However, if attacked, the laughing brewmasters bring all of their Pandaren agility and ferocity to bear! They are peerless warriors and world class drinkers all in one!"

We've already covered Frozen Throne at great length. So, instead of urging you to keep checking back for more, I'll just leave you with a link to where you can buy the game and the promise that I will totally use the name "Pandaren Brewmaster" whenever and wherever I can.
