King Ping is a rare penguin found on the western islands of Howling Fjord.

King Ping is a slightly larger penguin that can usually be found around Scalawag Point. He is noted to be one of the hardest Northrend mobs to find, despite having a 24-hour spawn rate (unconfirmed), as players are often doing the Kalu'ak daily quest which takes place directly where he spawns, so he doesn't stay unslain for long.

Trivia[]

  • He may be the same as or related to the grand Penguin King.
  • King Ping's name likely comes from the word Kingpin, a high ranking official. The "Ping" part could just be there to make it rhyme or it could come from the children's television show Pingu which stars a clay penguin as the main character. The "Ping" part could relate to how penguins resemble bowling pins. The entire name King Ping might be a reference to the fictional giant gorilla King Kong who had a similar relationship of size with real-life gorillas as King Ping has to penguins, though on a larger scale. He also might be a reference to the recurrent boss from Nintendo's Kirby games, King Dedede, who resembles a large penguin.
