Det kinesiske nytår eller Måne Festen for de politisk korrekte har hunden som tegn. Det fejres i WoW med Shu-Zen, the Divine Sentinel som nu findes in-game og i Blizzard shoppen.
Official description of Shu-Zen: As the Golden Lotus worked tirelessly to repair the Vale of Eternal blossoms, a single statue came to life and wordlessly defended them from the Sha that assaulted them. Believed by some to be a sign of good fortune and others to be a gift from the Light, Shu-Zen provides faithful companionship to any that would defend Azeroth from the maddening whispers of the Old Gods.
