GW2 Jimothy

If you’ve never heard of Jimothy…良い…you probably don’t spend much time on social media. That’s probably a good thing, but it means you missed out on a pretty cute creature. Jimothy is a raccoon from Seattle, Washington known for his unique body shape.

According to Wikipedia, there is some disagreement about the raccoon’s age and no one knows its gender. What we do know is that the fuzzball became an internet sensation earlier this month after Kiana Hall shared a video on Instagram in which she gave it the name everyone knows it by.

それ以来, it has been the subject of memes and immortalized in World of Warcraft. It will also be coming to Guild Wars 2 on August 11th. Of the two MMORPGs, GW2 seems to be the more obvious home, as the lady Jimothy shared with everyone is the wife of one of the developers working on the free-to-play game.

ArenaNet shared the news about Jimothy’s addition to the game LinkedIn recently. It’s an interesting choice for this type of announcement, but you can see the little animal in action there. To get your own Jimothy in the game, you’ll need to find him in Tyria and unlock a mini version.
