Community Manager Crithto Leaving Blizzard; BlizzCon Goody Bags Sold Out, Mythic Mannoroth Guide
Community Manager Crithto announced that October 8th is his last day at Blizzard. Crithto was involved in many community projects, including the
Major Payne pet series

Tweet it to him

Crithto
is a friendly pug that runs around Stormwind, often wearing a festive hat. However if you engage him, he'll turn hostile with 10 million HP. Killing him only drops the
Empty Puppy Collar
.

is a battle pet that's a reward from
Looking For Multitudes
