World of Warcraft News Roundup - 10/13 to 10/14

There was an abundance of exciting news over the past day or two, so I figured one post to cover it all made sense.

Pepe
For those who don't know, Pepe is an adorable bird in the garrison. You can find him in a tree, and clicking on him will result in a one hour buff that shows him on your head.

Since he is such a hit sensation, Blizzard has released a plush version of him! (the header image). This only costs $20, and has clips for feet. You can use these clips to attach him to a headband, or even your computer monitor.

What's even better than a Pepe plush? Pepe costumes! The I Found Pepe! achievement has been unlocked, allowing players to find the little bird in zones around Draenor. Here are the coordinates, supplied by Wowhead.

• Pirate Pepe - Spires of Arak; 54.1, 83.6
• Knight Pepe - Talador; 51.0, 63.3
• Ninja Pepe - Gorgrond; 47.5, 41.3
• Viking Pepe - Nagrand; 80.1, 50.4

Finding each of these will give you a one-time use item that will give Pepe a costume. Don't fret, however. After you have used the costume, it is saved to your character so that each time you summon Pepe, he has a chance to be in one of the costumes you have learned!

Wowhead has decided to do a contest for this: All you have to do is complete the I Found Pepe! achievement and verify your character on Wowhead. Once you have completed that, simply hit the Enter Contest button your character page and you have a chance to win one of 15 Pepe plushies! Click here for more details!
