[rifte]

<div>Look carefully at this guy and tell me who he looks like...</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://members.cox.net/rifter1/images/Gollum.jpg"></div><div> </div><div>Ok not exactly the same but...</div><div>Look what he talks about...</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://members.cox.net/rifter1/images/Precious.jpg"></div><div> </div><div>His Precious. Oh Cherished. Right. Same thing.</div><div> </div><div>Still don't believe me it's him? Say "Mullok" backwards.</div><div>In fact, Spell it backwards - K-o-l-l-u-m. Look familiar now? G-o-l-l-u-m.</div><div> </div><div>Hehe.</div>

Where did you see this little Gem of a NPC?<div></div>

[A 12 Gauge 007]

<div></div>He is in the secret hidden stash in Sinking Sands, an instance zone for 50+. Its pretty cool actually.

[Ay]

<div></div><p>easter egg you say? oh i thought it was just bad creativity.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Am I the only one who's smart enough to realise what Mullok is when you turn it around.. Kollum when speaking out loud.. Gollum..hardly an easter egg.. There are more links to LOTR. Just visit the babbleSHIRE

<div></div>The item he drops is kinda useless IMO.  Its a ring that gives you invis...but also has a huge dot attached to it.

<div></div>A necklace, and you can live 4.9 ticks before having to take it off.

WoW has way more easter egg type things... which I'm glad because they can be funny I don't like them too much... on WoW there is an npc with a green hat and tunic name Lihk or something that gives a quest for a sword and a bow... it is obvioulsy referring to Link from The Legend of Zelda... and the quest names he gives are even named after levels on the original Zelda... foolish Blizzard <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[rifte]

<div>Yes it kills you, just like in LOTR. The item eventually takes your soul.</div>

[digl]

Lol, if it was just the guy and the name, you could say say it was bad creativity, but when he drops a soul sucking necklace that gives you invis, you have to admit, thats pretty clever!<div></div>

[Elusi]

<div></div>It can take health from you 4 times before you have to take it off, you'll be in the red when you do tho.
