Wrath of the Lich King
Patch 3.1.2 | Posted: May 19, 2009

This pet was awarded to players who competed in at least 50 games (3v3 matches) during the Qualification Round of the Arena Tournament (also known as the World of Warcraft Arena Pass).

Murkimus was mailed to all current characters on the qualifying player's account. 200 games were required in 2009.

The first tournament was held in 2009 and the last tournament was in 2013. There has not been an event since then. Blizzard has not made an official announcement regarding the future of the Arena Tournament, so it is unknown if and when this pet will be available again.

We've heard additional reports that an identical Murkimus the Gladiator was given out to the first wave of players who logged on in China after the new Chinese operator, NetEase, took over and reopened the WoW servers.

This little guy is great, but it would be awesome if two Murkimuses fought each other upon meeting, like REAL little gladiators!

From the official FAQ: Players who participate in at least 50 rated Arena Pass games on one character and with the same team will be eligible to receive the Armored Murloc pet for their live characters. Notice it says participate, not win? Yeah, 50 matches. You can do that with your eyes closed.

Looks like Murkimus is back for the 2010 Arena Tournament. I'm assuming they will keep him in rotation for years to come, so I have updated his profile accordingly. At least this gives everyone who missed him last year a chance to get him this year. Happy PvP'ing!

Anyone need a partner for APRIL 2012???

I am looking for a team, so far it is just me (Boomkin). I am doing this for the pet, so if your looking for a title and 49-1 in wins, I guess that I wouldn't be the right person for you.

I wish this little guy was Bound to Account because I would love to share him with my newer toons. Murkimus was only delivered to toons who were created at the time he was sent out.

I apologize if this question is answered somewhere else, but I am wondering will this pet be available again in the future?  Is the arena tournament every year?  Really love the murlocs and would love to add this one to the collection.  Thanks for taking the time to read my questions. :)

 

-Cheers

No one I know who participated in the 2013 event has theirs yet. I'm about to enter a GM ticket and see what response I get. I want my Murkimus!

 

Edit: Was informed by a kindly GM that these pets won't go out for a few weeks yet. Maybe they're waiting for the end of the actual Arena realms rather than just the end of the rated phase...?

What some people don't know is that in the original Warcraft RTS games, Murlocs had Armor, Shields and Weapons like this one, so this pet is part Murloc that looks ready for the Arena, and part throwback to the olden days.

So I just logged in this morning and saw that this pet is offered now for signing up for this arena thing. Basically pay 20 dollars and seems that you can get it. I guess its an arena type realm.

Reminder, folks, Blizzard can revoke your rated matches if you throw the fights. Fortunately, you can be terrible at pvp (like me) and still get Murkimus as long as you at least try to fight. Just remember, the pointy end goes in the other guy.

Arena 3vs3, initial phase lasts for 8 weeks, 1st 4 weeks are for Pratice, the other 4 weeks are the Qualification Phase, ratings are reseted.

It's on this Qualification Phase, you need to do all 50 matches to be eligible, no matter winning/losing on these last 4 weeks.
Your team will obtain a ranking by playing at least 10 matches per week.

Btw, I'm thinking on join this year, so if anyone wants to make the team for pet on EU, contact me pls.

Some friends and I were planning to join the 2011 Tournament under the assumption that Murkimus will still be available, and I was looking for some concrete info from those who got the pet.

According to his page here, it says "This pet is awarded to players who compete in at least 50 games (3v3 matches) during the Qualification Round of the Arena Tournament."

What does getting into the Qualification Round entail? Do you have to win earlier matches to make it to that round?

I agree - it's absolutely fantastic he is not ebay-able. I'm very proud that I managed to obtain this pet - it was hard and rocky way, as my account wasn't available for the tournament. When I managed to deal with the first obstacle, I had hard times to get a group, and finally we played 2v3 ;) with my guild friend Whiskers (*wave*) who dualboxed her boyfriend's char :) We were extremely happy when we completed 200 fights!

It should require 300 played matches tho. But... THIS IS MADNESS! ;)

Murkimus is the most fearsome of all murloc arena warriors. And for a time, the only one.
