The War Within is bringing many new features to WoW, but this one may well be the most... well everything. Crazy, bizarre, weird, specific, and... useful?
If you're one of the many people who aren't fans of spiders, but in a more extreme way, the new expansion may have been a bit much for you, as the nerubians get pretty arachnid-y with their models. Luckily Blizzard thought of that and added a brand new accessibility feature, which turns all spider-like mobs into... crabs??
Found in the General tab of the accessibility menu, things get really crabby really fast. Here's an example from the Isle of Dorn, the first zone from the Alpha:
Regular nerubians.
Crabubians. Well, mostly.
It seems certain models do not get the crabification treatment, but it's unclear whether that's because it's still the Alpha and the feature isn't fully implemented, or if those models are somehow less spider-y. We're betting it's the former.
But what about old-world spiders? Do they also grow shells and get really pinchy?
Yes. Yes they do.
There's also slightly different types of crabs replacing the different spiders.
And here it is in action:
So, if you were on the fence about the War Within due to some serious spider issues, you don't have to worry about it! That is, unless you feel similarly with crabs, which isn't that much of a stretch actually. Can we just get them downgraded to corgis instead?
Also, here's a fun question: what happens to the Bloodfang Cocoon giant spider mount?

We got some more of the Earthen Allied Race in the War Within Alpha press kit! We already saw the race back during BlizzCon and their announcement, but now we have a fresher and slightly better look from the latest Alpha press kit.
They do look a bit more imposing than the last time we saw them. The race isn't playable on the Alpha just yet, so we'll see a lot more of them soon.

The top navigation bar has also been updated and includes links to the Shop, Menu, Create Character, and Realm Selection.
Blizzard also mentioned that they may be adding double click on character to log in functionality, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
