World of Warcrafthas hidden an adorable secret inside one of the new dungeons inDragonflight. A hilarious little gnoll NPC found within the Brackenhide Hollow dungeon inWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflighthas a secret interaction that has been delighting players who discover it.
Brackenhide Hollow is one of the new dungeons added inWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Located inthe Azure Span zone inDragonflight, this gnoll settlement has been corrupted by Decay magic, which players must burn out before it rots away the local ecosystem.

Before players encounter Decatriarch Wratheye, the end boss of theBrackenhide Hollow dungeon inDragonflight, a curious friendly NPC makes an appearance. A red-furred baby gnoll named Bloodthirsty Cub appears and cheers on the players. The enthusiastic child compliments players on their fighting skills before asking for a high five. If players do so in time, he screams in joy and runs around in circles three times before disappearing. However, if players leave him hanging, he breaks down into tears and runs away.
The gnolls of the Azure Span have garnered a great deal of attention from many players. They received a fantastic model upgrade inDragonflight, and players have enjoyed seeing different sides of the hyena-like humanoids in the expansion. The inclusion of baby gnoll models has especially charmed players, and those who have encountered the likes of Scaps, the lost gnoll cub who is taken in by agroup of Iskaara tuskarr children inDragonflight, have fallen in love with the little guys.
Needless to say, this adorable discovery has become an important mechanic that must be completed every run of the Brackenhide Hollow for many players, even though the encounter is not attached to any mechanics or achievements. With so much great gnoll content inDragonflight, manyWorld of Warcraftplayers hope they will become an allied racein the future.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflighthas received excellent reviews from players so far in no small part due to cute moments like this. As players travel across the Dragon Isles, they can save woodland creatures from rampaging elementals, help fix up a baby dragon’s duck plushie, and even help reunite two dragon-frog husbands named Beef and Wellington after they are separated.
The expansion is not perfect–lukewarm reception ofBattle for AzerothandShadowlandshas prevented theWorld of Warcraftexpansion from breaking player records, and someovertuned dungeons in theDragonflightendgamehave caused some problems for players. Nevertheless, ifWorld of Warcraftcontinues to improve in the ways it has recently,Dragonflightcould go down as the bestWorld of Warcraftexpansion in history.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflightis available now for PC.
