Watcher Backus roams Darkshire, just a really clever name for a NPC.

especially since you hear the dwarves say “watch yer back” all the time.

Also, aside from Antonio Pirelli in Stormwind…
in the barber shop on the 2nd floor, there is a “trap door” behind the table. On the table, there is a razor blade, and under the door are two skeletons.

One of my favorites that is also very sci-fi related the poison vendor in grizzly hills (Amberpine Lodge) named Saffron Reynolds in reference to a character of that name from Joss Whedon’s show Firefly.

There is a Catelyn the Blade, who made me think of George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire. The spelling of Catelyn made me think of it.

Foxtrot’s Bill Amend plays WoW and made a comic where he mentions an item called “Doomulus Prime” that Jason manages to get. WoW put a weapon into the game called Doomulus Prime as an homage and Bill Amend mentioned that the worst part is that when he was offered it in a quest, he actually chose the other item because it was better for his Shaman.

In Grizzly Hills near the Alliance camp, there are a fawn, rabbit, skunk that wander around and are named very close to Bambi, Thumper and Flowers.

In the sewers of Dalaran, there is a rat talking to four turtles,, tmnt ref there.

If you have the pet Stinky out and someone has the bombay cat, your skunk will fall in love with the cat and take off after it. Comes back later with broken heart.. love live Pepe.
