Last week, while minding my own business and waiting for a guild-alt noobling to finish his quest turn-ins at Goldshire, I spied Teremus the Devourer, the farmer’s scourge of Blasted Lands, flying down the path to Goldshire, hot on the heels of his druid kiter.

Many dead noobs and noob NPC guards later, the foul beast fell to the zerg. The best part of the entertainment, it shut up the trash-talking Goldshire noobs for a good 5 or 10 minutes. Also taught them an important lesson that will serve them well their entire Warcraft life: When you see a fire-breathing dragon coming your way, you GET OUT OF THE WAY.

Teremus’ journey from just outside Goldshire to his death in Stormwind is documented in a Flickr photoset, clickable from the thumbnail above.

Lastly, the week is AFK Gamer’s annual Week of Fives. Raster (blog slave and guild puppet) and I will be tag-teaming a week of posts looking back on 2006. Later today, Five Things World of Warcraft Does Really Well. Ya, really.
