Notes:

This pet is awarded to players who compete in at least 50 games (3v3 matches) during the Qualification Round of the Arena Tournament. It is mailed to all current characters on the qualifying player's account. 200 games were required in 2009.

We've heard additional reports that an identical Murkimus the Gladiator was given out to the first wave of players who logged on in China after the new Chinese operator, NetEase, took over and reopened the WoW servers.

Breanni Says:

You'd think for a pet of this magnitute I would've had to fight *300* Arena battles! Get it? 300? Instead of two hund..re... umm... Anyhow, with his tiny little shield and his tiny little spear, one could easily imagine this adorable cousin of Murky's shouting out, "THIS.. IS.. WARCRAFT!" Of course, it would probably just come out as: "Murgl.. Gurgl.. Mrrglrglurglr!"

We had a great time fighting for this one! None of us were what you would call "Hardcore PVPer's", but back then there were lots of others who were right on our experience level trying to do the same. When we FINALLY reached 200 matches, I think we won a little more than half..WAY better than we had hoped to do :D I love the fact that since he wasn't a code, he's not ebay-able. Every time he comes out, I remember the great times we had. I hope they keep the title rewards for the most hardcore!

I got this amazing pet after doing the arena tournament of 2009. It took 200 matches (win or lose) to get him. Unlike his cousin Grunty he has no giant animations. The only two Ive seen are him kind of sneezing and him looking under his shield looking flustered. Maybe they will add another pet for the next arena tournament :). in the 2010 arena tournament.... its only 50 arenas !!!!!!

This pet should have been really easy to get but after getting flaky teammates not once or twice, but three times, I was resigned to not having him. The very last night of the tournament, my boyfriend stayed up and found two random players on the tourney realms and they played all 200 games through that night with a 50% win rating. 8 solid hours of arenas made my boyfriend swear pvp off for a while but I got my games done and he got some serious brownie points!

This little guy is great, but it would be awesome if two Murkimuses fought each other upon meeting, like REAL little gladiators!

I agree - it's absolutely fantastic he is not ebay-able. I'm very proud that I managed to obtain this pet - it was hard and rocky way, as my account wasn't available for the tournament. When I managed to deal with the first obstacle, I had hard times to get a group, and finally we played 2v3 ;) with my guild friend Whiskers (*wave*) who dualboxed her boyfriend's char :) We were extremely happy when we completed 200 fights!

It should require 300 played matches tho. But... THIS IS MADNESS! ;)

Unlike other murlocs, him and Grunty can arm themselves into battle! Its not like he can fight, (well Grunty can kill a zurgling). Its funny to make jokes when people say "We need a DPS" I will respond "We got Murkimus" It would be cool if he did have some sort of special AFK emote, like cheering while waving his spear around or even practicing to duel. Very unique, haven't seen single person on my server besides me who has it. Rock on Murkimus!

I wish this little guy was Bound to Account because I would love to share him with my newer toons. Murkimus was only delivered to toons who were created at the time he was sent out.

It breaks my heart knowing I'll never be able to get Murkimus. Sure he's adorable (as all murloc infants are), but that's not why I want him. I want him because he's a Spartan, and my PvP performance could only be bolstered with him in my ranks. He brings centuries of combat experience to the field, after all.

Like Thestralls, me and my girl had a horrible time finding a stable 3rd partner. She had given up on trying for these, as she has 2 accounts and she wanted the pet on both. So me being the good guy I'm, I set up the multiboxing thing and did all 200 matches the last Sunday of the tournament with 3 elemental shammy. It was fun for the first 3 hours, after a while I was just on automatic pilot. To my surprise I won 60% of my matches! The pet was well worth it tho, even better with pet biscuit :D

What some people don't know is that in the original Warcraft RTS games, Murlocs had Armor, Shields and Weapons like this one, so this pet is part Murloc that looks ready for the Arena, and part throwback to the olden days.

He was in for two arena seasons. Maybe he'll return for more?

Looks like Murkimus is back for the 2010 Arena Tournament. I'm assuming they will keep him in rotation for years to come, so I have updated his profile accordingly. At least this gives everyone who missed him last year a chance to get him this year. Happy PvP'ing!

Actually only need 50 games, not 200, this year. Also, change your mailing address to a different state if you cant register and want to.

Only 50 matches are required for the 2010 tournament, to get Murkimus.

All of my new toons now get Murkimus... The odd thing is I only did the Tourny last year, & I quit wow for a few months so I never competed in the 2nd Tourny... I guess this is due to the battlenet accounts or something, all I can say is "YAY MURKI CAN ALWAYS FOLLOW ME!"

Would anyone be interested in teaming up to farm in the tournament for this little guy? I know I'm not the only one who has registered for the tournament simply for him. And being that I'm not very good at arena's, I'd feel much more comfortable teaming up with other pet-orientated folks. If anyone's interested in grouping up to farm rounds for him, please email me and we can get started right away! :)

I, too, am looking for pet-oriented arena buddies for the tournament.

Update: Found a group yesterday and did a few matches. We're supposed to do more tonight and tomorrow, but if it falls through, I will definitely email you Adorathena! Full disclosure, though: no one is winning any titles with me on the team!

Currently on tournament server #1, myself and a friend, we're looking for a 3rd person to run games with. Look for me ingame, Bleeding Hollow [A], either on Adorathena or Isrá (alt 0225). Best of luck on the pet :D
