Everything You Need To Know About Capybaras

1 - How are capybaras related to WoW?

Capybaras will be introduced to WoW soon on Patch 8.1. The reason I'm posting this thread is so that you know all you need to know about capybaras before you interact with them in-game, just like Raiders read guides from better Raiders before they attempt to fight a new Raid Boss.

Here's the capybara model:

2 - What are capybaras?

They are the largest living rodents in the world.

3 - What do capybaras look like IRL?

4 - Do capybaras have horns?

Real life capybaras do not have horns, but WoW capybaras do! Blizzard likes changing animals. That's why their crabs have six legs instead of eight while their crocs have six legs instead of four.

5 - Why are capybaras special?

Because they are the chillest creatures that have ever existed.

Here are pictures of capybaras hanging out with monkeys, turtles, ducks, a cat and a crocodile.

6 - Where do capybaras live?

In real life, capybaras are native to South America. Which is like America but South. I am from South America too! I once saw a capybara by the river while I was working on a water treatment plant!

I have no idea where Warcraft capybaras come from. I guess we will soon find out! :D
What about ducks?

What about ducks?


As far as I know, there are no ducks on Azeroth. Only rubber ducks and fishing things shaped like ducks.

It's possible that ducks are made up creatures of legend on Azeroth, just like Dragons IRL.
7 - What do capybaras taste like?

Chicken. Wet chicken.
WTB Capybara amphibious mount that swims as fast as it does move on land.
I hope they become tamable as a non-combat pet.

Dang, i want duck flying mounts. Mallards, cinnamin teal, wood duck, all ducks. Molten ducks with rock butts (cause water), demon ducks with sharp teeth and horns, uniquely feathered imaginal ducks. Ducks have the potential to be a flying mount and when theres no flying a water mount. Ducks need to make their way to azeroth, or maybe a different planet we visit in the future.
You didn't cover what they eat, population status, or actual habitat (ie do they only live in riparian areas or do they live in lots of places?). Also, do they have any natural predators? Are they used by humans at all?

Some peeps hunt them for meat and stuff. You can also keep them as pets in some places of the world.
Finally a thread that matters.

1 capybara frito es como 6 cuys fritos!
Don't forget, they're also auto coprophagous! Very handy for clean up, no need to follow it around with a bag and litter boxes aren't required!

Just don't let them kiss you.

Chicken. Wet chicken.


Missionaries in South America convinced the pope to declare that capybaras to be fish for lentan purposes, as they were the main source of protein for some of the folks they were trying to convert. No idea if this is still in effect.

In life there are good crocs and bad crocs. The bad ones are usually hungry.
