World of Warcraft Pets Raise $1.5 Million for BlueCheck Ukraine
pcinvasion.comWorld of Warcraft players have once again shown their community spirit and love of adorable animals, raising over $1.5 Million (USD) for BlueCheck efforts in Ukraine through the sale of two precious in-game pets: Sunny and Flurky.
The Pet Pack for Ukraine was available to purchase in-game or through the Battle.net shop between July 25 – August 29, 2023. The $20/£18 pack included Sunny, a lovable golden retriever who loves to chase her tail, and the baby murloc, Flurky, who leaves a delightful flower trail as he shuffles behind you.
Sunny and Flurky were designed to match the Ukrainian flag, with Flurky even carrying a sunflower — Ukraine’s national flower.

Sunny is exclusive to retail World of Warcraft, while Flurky is only available in Wrath of the Lich King: Classic.
