    How will she look? Pet like knife? An eye? Interesting.

    Though I had a weak aura and addon for her whispers, I do miss hearing new ones. Interesting that one of the icons is the same as the one used for Xalzaix and both are powerful weapons. O: I still secretly hope that she is what remains of a fifth old god, but with the naming conventions and this new info, perhaps she was just a powerful weapon. Hopefully we will learn more soon.

    Just noticed the file name - inv_knife_1h_artifactcthun_d_01. Interesting...

    Well, we never had an animated weapon pet so...

    If the stars align, I will let U'una wield Knaifu, and she shall charge into pet battle mounted atop Baa'l. Fear her!

    Looks like there's a scenario set up for her... emergence. Would explain the 'DaggerRealm' map that was added but currently isn't doing much. Judging by the spells so far, she talks a lot and we feed her Naga souls. Par for course really.
