murloc

Murlocs are a fictional species originating from the Warcraft universe, primarily featured in the popular video game World of Warcraft and its related media. They are depicted as small, amphibious humanoids with distinctive green skin, large eyes, webbed hands and feet, and a pronounced underbite with sharp teeth. Murlocs are known for their aggressive and territorial nature, often found in coastal or swampy regions across the fictional world of Azeroth.

These creatures are typically depicted as tribal and primitive, communicating through a series of guttural croaks, clicks, and distinctive war cries, most famously "Mrglglgl!". Despite their seemingly simple nature, murlocs exhibit a strong pack mentality and are often seen wielding crude weapons such as spears and nets. Their societies are generally matriarchal, with a focus on survival and the protection of their young.

In the context of the games, murlocs serve as common enemy fodder, encountered by players in various low to mid-level zones. They are a staple of the Warcraft bestiary and have become an iconic and recognizable element of the franchise, often appearing in humorous or lighthearted contexts alongside their more menacing encounters. Their distinct appearance and sound effects have made them a memorable and often parodied part of gaming culture.
