Prepare For Guild Wars 2 With This Adorable Charr Plushie
The long-awaited release of Guild Wars 2 may still be off at some unknown point in the future, but ArenaNet and publisher NCSoft have put out one especially cuddly way to help you prepare for the exciting new MMO: a plushie based on its most fearsome race.
In the history of Guild Wars 2's world of Ascalon, the lion-esque Charr are a powerful race best known for killing a lot of humans to take back their home city, the Black Citadel. Haunted by the ghosts of the people they crushed, the Charr are a strongly militaristic race, though they also have produced great technology to aid in their warring.
Oh, and they're also soft and fluffy. LOOK AT HOW CUTE THAT THING IS.
NCSoft was kind enough to send me one of these, so I can confirm how adorable it is in real life as well. If you want one for yourself, they will be available on the Penny Arcade Store for $34.99. Want to know why you should care about Guild Wars 2 and the Charr? Read my preview from Gamescom.
