10 Secret NPCs Hidden In Video Games
5. Thuzadin Acolyte - World Of Warcraft
Despite World of Warcraft being shockingly close to 20 years old, players are still discovering new things about it, such as the presence of a secret NPC ensconced out of bounds in Stratholme.
The NPC, labelled as a Thuzadin Acolyte, can be accessed by glitching out of bounds in Stratholme and allowing yourself to fall through the city to the very bottom of the map.
There you'll be able to locate the acolyte, who can either be male or female, and though the NPC is technically targetable, none of your attacks will actually cause it any damage.
There is the random possibility, however, that the acolyte will attack you first, after which you are indeed able to fight back and even kill it. Weird.
It's been suggested that the NPC is actually tied to the Thuzadin Acoylte who yells at the player once they destroy all the Ziggurats in Stratholme - that Blizzard needed to conceal the NPC somewhere on the map in order for them to yell. That certainly makes sense.
