According to the official World of Warcraft website, the Night Elf mohawk is returning in-game.
FrostThe video above is a new nationally televised commercial.
Players can get the Mohawk Grenades from characters positioned outside the starting zone. We’re checking now to see if the grenades are active in the game yet (again). They were originally in Azeroth as part of WoW’s five year anniversary celebration.

Night elf mohawk: Gone!

Thank goodness!
Anyone else relieved that this funky device is removed from the game? I have to admit, I wasn’t a big fan of the big head look. I’ve been “pitied” many times by random players (and even those in my own guild). Dwarves and mohawks just don’t seem to mix. In any case, Crygil has confirmed that the mohawk grenade will not be around any longer. Ever since the grenade became active on servers back in November, I couldn’t walk around Dalaran without seeing large heads everywhere. Is this the last time we’ll ever see Mr. T plant these grenades in game for players to use?
Somehow, I have a hunch that this won’t be the last time we’ll see mohawks in game.

Second Mr. T mohawk commercial launches
by Alex Ziebart on Nov.23, 2009, under Mr-T-Night-Elf-Mohawk, breaking, mohawk, mohawk-commercial, mohawk-grenade, mr-t, mr-t-commercial, mr-t-mohawk, night-elf-mohawk, wow-commercial, wow-commercials
Blizzard is milking Mr. T’s mohawk for all its worth in yet another ridiculous commercial. At the risk of being a complete downer, I have to ask: Is anybody else bored with this campaign? I admit that I laughed and laughed at the original Mr. T WoW commercial (and probably contributed to this campaign’s birth) but enough is enough. Are you advertising World of Warcraft or a line of Mr. T hair care products?
Anyway, you can watch the commercial above and if you weren’t yet aware of it, you can pick up mohawk grenades in the various starter zones throughout Azeroth. But please, for my sanity and your safety, don’t throw them at me. There might be repercussions if you know what I’m sayin’.

Breakfast Topic: This is getting a little silly…

Night Elf Mohawks and Mohawk Grenades? I should know by now that Blizzard can throw a curve ball better than anyone, but the announcement of Mr. T hacking into the World of Warcraft and handing out completely whimsical, nonsensical items still caught me by surprise. Any Blizzard fan knows that humor plays a big part in their games, and WoW has been no exception — Azeroth is rife with in-game jokes, pop culture references, puns, easter eggs, and silly items like, well, Mohawk Grenades.
It sometimes gets silly to the point where it just doesn’t make any sense. There isn’t even any deep lore to it (which is probably what got our resident lore nerd Alex’s knickers in a bunch)… there’s just this strange-looking Night Elf handing out grenades in starting areas. Coupled with the television commercial where Mr. T brags about hacking into the World of Warcraft, it all seems very meta. I like the way the game doesn’t take itself seriously, but this latest gimmick comes so far from left field I don’t quite know what to think.
What’s your take on World of Warcraft’s whimsy? A lot of items, particularly from loot cards, are silly, like the D.I.S.C.O. or Ogre Piñata. Others are pretty badass like the Spectral Tiger. Not everything is necessarily tied in to lore, and that’s alright. But where do you think Blizzard should draw the line? When does a joke ruin the game world or immersive experience? Or is everything fair game?

Night Elf Mohawk grenade now active in WoW

When you get there you’ll want to talk to him, make him pity the fool. And in return you’ll get a five Mohawk Grenades that let you make others wear a Night Elf Mohawk mask. You can get more grenades once your five are all used up.
There is a 50 minute buff called “Mohawked” with the flavor text of “You pity the fool” that gets placed on you when you wear the mask. You can right click the debuff to remove it.
Check out the gallery below for images from this little Monday afternoon surprise. And just for kicks, the original Mr. T WoW commercial after the break. When you watch the commercial again, note how Mr. T’s in-game self looks exactly like his character does in the commercial, quite neat!
Update: There is now an FAQ on the Night Elf Mohawk, which is reproduced after the break.
