i'm just saying it wondering if anyone else thinks this, baby sunfire foo dog. the pet from that pack, what the heck is with the name!? just saying.
The Kirin Hoard pack that awards the foo dog pets, like Mooshu, is Asian themed. Foo dogs were the guardians of Buddhist shrines or other sacred places, and although they may look more like a lion than a dog when you see them in art work, they were not mythical animals. You would recognize their modern descendants as one of many popular pets possibly still living in your neighborhood; the Chow Chow, Pekingese, Pug, Shar Pei, or Shih Tsu. The name 'foo dog' also comes from China. The Chinese word for Buddha is Fo. The "Dogs of Fo" who once guarded the throne of the Emperor two thousand years ago now guard young wizards through their battles across the spiral as Lavander, Elemental, Guardian, Fiendish, Imperial, and your very own Sunfire variety foo dogs. Who says an MMORPG is not an educational experience?
