10 Extremely Rare Video Game NPCs That Reward You For Finding Them

3. Poseidus - World of Warcraft

Poseidus is one of the randomly spawned elite mobs from World of Warcraft that has gained notoriety among the game's community for being one of the rarest creatures in the game. This giant seahorse appears in only a few select locations in the underwater sections of the Shimmering Expanse and the Abyssal Depths, with a very low spawn rate that makes it rarer than the proverbial unicorn.

To make things even more challenging, Poseidus is frequently hunted down by droves of players trying to get the rare loot it drops, making your already slim chances of finding one even slimmer.

This said, the search for this sea unicorn is well worth it, as the loot people seek to get from the creature is the Reins of Poseidus, which allow you to summon a smaller version of the creature as a mount.

The appeal of cruising the bottom of the sea on a giant, majestic seahorse is definitely strong enough to make most WoW players justify hopelessly swimming from one spawn point to another for hours on end.

It's like the American gold rush, but with digital pets instead of precious metals!
