GameSpot reports that Jimothy, a raccoon that became popular online, will be added to World of Warcraft as a pet players can earn. The addition matters because it brings a viral community figure into the game as an obtainable in-game reward.

The supplied article text contains no further details beyond the headline, so the method of earning Jimothy, release date and any eligibility requirements are not available. It is therefore unclear whether the pet will be tied to an event, achievement or other activity.
