Warcraft turtle mount costume

[Russ257]

This is from blizzcon. It is from wacraft. The turtle can walk. This is some serious stuff. I hope someone does a full writeup because i would like to know more. Anyone know anything or have a hand in this?


here is what i found so far

It took Amanda from Arizona three months to make the gigantic turtle. The turtle is big enough to mount and rolls around on wheels hidden behind a black shroud. The head and legs move realistically and even the mouth opens and shuts while the entire contraption is rolling around.

When compared to the other contestants, Amanda’s turtle was the obvious winner and that’s probably why Blizzard officials had her appear last on stage. The slow lumbering turtle made a victory lap around the stage and costume contest host and comedian Jay Mohr also briefly mounted the turtle.
