The virmen, also called verming, is a race of primitive bunny-like people that lives in Pandaria.[1] It has been noted that they have a vegetable worship fetish.[2]
Background
The Virmen are an annoyance with the potential to become a serious problem. Rabbit-like pests with powerful hind legs that send them bounding across terrain, Virmen typically live and scavenge out of sight in caves and burrows. But when the civilized races of Pandaria draw near their warrens, the Virmen are a famine on legs.
Virmen are inveterate lurkers, awaiting the opportunity to grab carrion, garbage, or actual food whenever they can. They’ll steal and eat nearly anything, then scurry away, leaving behind overturned tables and ransacked trash piles. The menace of the Virmen is only slightly increased by their propensity to wield stolen daggers (or, failing that, sharpened pieces of bamboo) in both hands. Though most Virmen avoid direct conflict, they are not unwilling to attack others in pursuit of the sustenance that drives their every waking moment.[3]
Notable
Notes
- It was noted that they will be the new Kobold-like race in Mists of Pandaria.
- During BlizzCon these creatures were known as Verming.
- "Vir" is Latin for "man, male adult", creating a likely unintended meaning of "man-men". However, it's more likely they just switched the i and e in vermin to create their name. As the pandaren consider them vermin.
- It appears the virmen dislike turnips.[4]
