TheHearthstonecommunity has recently been greeted with a promotion that will give players who play the new Mercenaries game mode additional goodies. But some fans are divided over the rewards, including an associatedWorld of Warcraftmount.
Reddit user Wildchargeart recently posted their version of a newHearthstonemount inWorld of Warcraft. The new mount is a mouse design that lacks some features that rodent users have picked up on. The mount is most noticeably missing whiskers, something that other rodent mounts in the game have included in the past. Wildchargeart also noticed an issue with the eyes of the mouse and quickly made an adjustment.

Sarge the Mouse is a white mouse with brown eyes inWorld of Warcraft, but the promotional image of the mount features disturbingly human eyes. Rodent owners typically expect the eyes of a mouse or rat to be fully black or red, but this mouse has very little color to its eyes. The mouse’s visible eye in the promotional image has a small iris which resembles human eyes more than rodent eyes.
After a small edit, Wildchargeart has created aWorld of Warcraftmountthat rodent owners will feel reflect their favorite critters better. Sarge’s iris has been expanded to fill the previously colorless area of the eye. While the new mouse’s eye still has a glimmer to it after the changes, Wildchargeart’s version is missing the glossy effect of the original Sarge the Mouse.

While a lot of the response to Wildchargeart’s version of Sarge the Mouse is positive, some fans would still like to know what the mount would look like with whiskers.
