Isn't Murloc Knight's armor a reference to Crusader armor from Diablo? There's even like their logo on his shield, a crest. I've never played diablo but recognized Johanna's apparel from HotS.
+igreh1337 yup, sorry I didn't make it 100% clear. Murkalot was given to Blizzcon attendees when Reaper of Souls was announced so yes it was a tie in to that. I put the "seems familiar" subtitle in there to reference that... buuut that would require everyone knowing that fact I just mentioned so an over sight on my part :S I mainly tied it back to warcraft lore for a bit of fun as most of the Murloc knight will probably not turn into canon, since it fits him so well I'd guess the armor was made for him and the murlocs don't have many definite allies. :)
+igreh1337 It is the character "Murkalot" from WoW where you could get him as a pet from Blizzcon 2013 or by purchasing the virtual ticket (this from warcraftpets). Pretty hefty price nowadays at 300 dollars. And it is indeed designed to have the templar armor.
Really wanted this episode... did not disappoint. Well done.As for what's next, I for one would love a series on the dragon aspects. Ysera most of all. I'd like to see an episode on Anub'Arak as well, but... dragons.
Old Icefin in Howling Fjord managed to communicate with A&H adventurers quite easily without a long integration time Mrgl-Mrgl needed in Borean Tundra.
+infraiser Knew I was missing one in the corner of my mind! I have done a wailing caverns lore with him in though, so he's been covered in the past at least :D
well murloc knight is actually "Murkalot" the pet that they give to who attend Blizzcon 2013 and his shield and armor are based on the Crusader class in Diablo III Reaper of Soul
Do Anub'arak and Rhonin, but pleassseee do the dragon aspects at some point. Now is the perfect time to do them since BRM came out and TGT made dragon decks amazing and people need to hear their story! :D :D Rhonin as a complete story so he would be great to do as well!
+projecta3halkida I think I mention it the video but I really don't make this clear I have to say. The art is based on the World of Warcraft murloc vanity pet Murkalot, which people could get their hands on by purchasing a virtual ticket for 2013's Blizzco. I, believe this was when Diablo:Reaper of Souls had a lot of info released on it, hence the choice of pet. The Murloc knight himself has not really any lore connected with him. Just wanted to do an episode on Murlocs :)
+Six Gamers yeah, I noticed it, sorry I was listening to it as a podcast and I didn't notice his artwork on the Blizzcon Murloc gifts part.You also just got a new sub! >:D
Now that you put them side by side, siltfin and old murk eye look really similar. They have the same colour and that circle of purple around their eyes. I assume this is just coincidence?
perhpas they are a vanguard force for queen Ashara, we know she is still somewhere beneath the surface. Surely plotting how to overthrow all other empires especially the night elfs.
rather than a sub-race wouldn't it be better to call the jinyu an evolved race of murloc..depending on how far you take their increased intelligence from exposure to "the power of the vale" and, yes..they definitely deserve their own episode..
This video wasnt bad, but it was much more on the murlocs than on the murloc knight. You could have done the same video about basically any other murloc card. I am a bit disapointed
Murlocs are an old and extremely annoying joke in my opinion. I liked them better as just casual mobs in WarCraft III. I'm okay with random appearances of silly murlocs like Cookie, but now that they're basically Blizzard's mascot, showing up in merchandise and as easter eggs in StarCraft and stuff, I get really tired of seeing them everywhere and hearing that characteristic gurgle.
So are you telling me that we might have a murloc that will summon an old god?

+Akul Holy hell 300 dollars :O
Six Gamers see m8, there's your mistake, should have done another 30 minutes on Diablo lore. 6,5/10 too confusing for new players.
+igreh1337 haha beautiful. Will put this review on my wall.
Really wanted this episode... did not disappoint. Well done.As for what's next, I for one would love a series on the dragon aspects. Ysera most of all. I'd like to see an episode on Anub'Arak as well, but... dragons.
+Autodidaction Hero Glad to hear that! Really happy you enjoyed it!
+Six Gamers I agree with them! :D
Love the Murloc Metal at the end! \m/
+Nigel Fortune Horns up
\m/ :-D
Yeah, about that.
Thank you a lot for telling me about "I am murloc".
could you do an episode on kvaldir or tuskarr some day?
+Dawnfyre definitely some day :D
Next WoW expansion. Murloc invasion. You know its comming guys. We just need to prepare
+MiJerk That's the expansion they needed to get them subs back up!
Yeah! Including new playable murloc race who able to choose faction like pandarens do.
Old Icefin in Howling Fjord managed to communicate with A&H adventurers quite easily without a long integration time Mrgl-Mrgl needed in Borean Tundra.
Rhonin's story is very awesome - Anub Arak as well. Hoping to see them next in your awesome style ^_^
Great video as always :D Kinda surprised though that you didnt mention Mutanus the Devourer, endboss of one of the most iconic vanilla dungeons imo :p
+infraiser Knew I was missing one in the corner of my mind! I have done a wailing caverns lore with him in though, so he's been covered in the past at least :D
Nice video as always!! Keep up the great work
+Rebelduck1 Thank you very much!
Come on guys it has to be anub'arak's turn soon.
Murkys backstory is mostly fleshed out in Legion
Great video!
+Nikey9 Thank you sir
Someone also mentioned the Tuskar, I think they would be interesting to do at some point too. :D (that might be a good under 10 minute video)
+Dan Jack Already scripted the next under 10min one ;)
well murloc knight is actually "Murkalot" the pet that they give to who attend Blizzcon 2013 and his shield and armor are based on the Crusader class in Diablo III Reaper of Soul
Looooved this video keep it up!
+Arturo Medina Benites Thanks, will do my best!
We NEED a Murloc game.
Murky Khight Skin for HOTS, it wuld be rally nice, he wuld swim his lance for attacks and it would have the frog as a Skin exclusive mount.
+Jose Echevarria ooo that would be sweet!
fun note. in the i am murloc videoclip the speech of murlocs is: rwlrwlrwl
This looks like a documentary lol
'Walking with murlocs'
+Ragnaros 1001 Oh it is, Murlocs are totally real and the fact must be delivered!
+Kyle Sibley xD
I would love Gorloc Cards in HS. Maybe have them be like Murlocs but higher Mana cost so better stats and/or card text
So is the coldlight oracle a goreloc?
No the coldlight is a deepsea Murloc
How does Sir Finley fit among the other murlocs?
+fabrimuch Sir Finley wasn't in HS when this was made. I'm sure he'll due a future solo version on him.
12:30 *whale shark
pretty good episode stil! keep it up!
+alltheaces haha bugger, why didn't this ring alarm bells for me, I'm such a nob :P
Do Anub'arak and Rhonin, but pleassseee do the dragon aspects at some point. Now is the perfect time to do them since BRM came out and TGT made dragon decks amazing and people need to hear their story! :D :D Rhonin as a complete story so he would be great to do as well!
+Dan Jack Yeah I hope to do them pretty soon, will very likely be coming up in another vote sooner rather than later.
What about sir Finley mrrglton
hes not in the game
+J03HUNT You meet him in leagon
He is now
Ooh, jinyu water speaker was q thing?
I would love to learn about the dragons
Hey, why does the Murloc knight bear the symbols of the crusaders from D3?? He even has the same color patterns (black and white?)
+projecta3halkida I think I mention it the video but I really don't make this clear I have to say.

+Six Gamers yeah, I noticed it, sorry I was listening to it as a podcast and I didn't notice his artwork on the Blizzcon Murloc gifts part.You also just got a new sub! >:D
Can you tell me who is the artist of the photo you always put when you mention the burning legion?
+Yair Chemla (Yacx) Dan Scott his website is in the description
Now that you put them side by side, siltfin and old murk eye look really similar. They have the same colour and that circle of purple around their eyes. I assume this is just coincidence?
+ZimzamsXD yeah I think it's more of a case they only have so many different colours etc :P
"Cooockie! Bring me my Thistle -tea!!" *Cliff aka Edwin Vancleef
Murloc Knight's armor is the Crusader Armor from Diablo, just look at the shield,
perhpas they are a vanguard force for queen Ashara, we know she is still somewhere beneath the surface. Surely plotting how to overthrow all other empires especially the night elfs.
great video! murloc impression needs a bit of practice though :P
also please do the dragons
+OfficialMadMan :O how dare you! I worked all of a few seconds on that!
those few seconds you will never get back XD
i like your worke man
+mohamed abu al hof Thanks man :D
Keep it man :D
WE WANT LORE FOR THE KVALDIR AND THE TUSKAR. BECAUSE I ENJOY RAIDING AND AM STILL WANDERING IF YOU BROUGHT SOME FISH?
I want the master of ceremonies - because she is master of your fate.
Murkalot looks like the Murloc Knight. Could that have some significance?
rather than a sub-race wouldn't it be better to call the jinyu an evolved race of murloc..depending on how far you take their increased intelligence from exposure to "the power of the vale"
and, yes..they definitely deserve their own episode..
+Ins0mn3sia can see your point. Think it's just a commonly used phrase for fantasy RPGs etc
aspects please sir
Okay, 'fess up. Whose voice talent enabled Mmmrrrggglll's harmonic cry?
+UatuOmega The first one was taken from the ETC sound track the rest of the attempt for naming Mmmrrrggglll were me :P
Yep, N'zoth is coming.
Summon mrglton against morgl the oracle and you will learn
They like tea
This video wasnt bad, but it was much more on the murlocs than on the murloc knight. You could have done the same video about basically any other murloc card. I am a bit disapointed
he does say that at the beginning
But... But Anub'arak!
Wait... DO THE FUCKING DRAGON ASPECTS INSTEAD!
The murloc knight has weird looking feet, could it be a human-murloc hybrid? :0
yo quiero un plushie...
god damn there are too many sub species of everything. And all of them seem sentient and can do magic
So it's like the WoW zerg with only 1 unit... Zerglings or... Zerlocs
*Consumerism intensifies*
And absolutely nothing about the murloc Knight... haha.
quality
+Angel Slayer Thank you!
Then i play skyrim i shout "DRAGON" then i see a dragon.
so do the dragons
+Daniel Silset Well I guess shouting dragon at you computer screen is one way to spend an afternoon :P
or do it when i skype with my friends
Thanks for commenting my comment
it means good stuff for people like me
