Break out the party hats because it’s World of Warcraft’s fifth birthday! Blizzard is celebrating by giving all players an Onyxian Whelpling pet in-game starting today and lasting for just a few days. This baby model of his larger, more ferocious mother, will attempt to “deep breath” and just blow a puff of smoke.

If that milestone wasn’t great enough, Blizzard is celebrating their 15th birthday. Bitmob published an interview with Art Director Sam Didier, Lead Content Designer Cory Stockton, and Lead Systems Designer Greg Street in honor of their birthday today. It’s a great read if you’re interested in hearing lead developers discuss the past, present, and future of Blizzard Entertainment.

Happy birthday WoW and Blizzard!
