==Trivia==
*Pepe was created by 3D artist Jordan Powers. - "3D Artist for World of Warcraft. Nerf blaster enthusiast. Connoisseur of bad sci-fi movies. Creator of Pepe." Powers first created Pepe almost two years prior to the release of Warlords, to "help breathe some life into a 3D project". Powers began including the little bird in all of his work, later giving him a name and eventually a personality.
**The Jorrix Powerspark NPC, an homage to Jordan, has a Pepe on his head.
*Pepe's "birthday" is 24 February 2013, when he was first revealed on Powers' Facebook. Powers accompanied the image with the comment, "My scene was looking kinda dull, so I added a bird to it. I have named him, 'Pepé' and he is TOTALLY BOSS.":File:Pepe early facebook.jpg
*Since his discovery by players in the garrison, Pepe has gone on to become a celebrated icon in the community, with players frequently including the tiny bird in selfies, as well as in various memes on social media. One notable example of this popularity was a series of fan art images created by ZHArDoom (扎尔杜姆) that envisioned the bird dressed as, at the time, all thirty-three playable characters in Heroes of the Storm, and which was featured in a blog post on the official Heroes of the Storm website. This popularity appears to have been responsible for the later expansion of the character with the addition of the I Found Pepe! NPCs and achievement, as well as the Pepe plush toy, the release of which was announced in a special blog, accompanied by an #IFoundPepe Twitter hashtag campaign.
*The official Pepe plush is available from the Blizzard Gear Store, and can grip onto various surfaces such as hats and monitors, mimicking Pepe's tendency to sit on adventurers' heads.http://gear.blizzard.com/index.php/default/pepe-plush.html
*On October 14th World of Warcraft's official Facebook page uploaded an album titled #IFoundPepe including a lot of pictures with both the in-game Pepe and the plush version.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.520150098147113.1073741853.117810281714432&type=3
*Crate of Bobbers: Wooden Pepe was added in Legion, allowing the fishing bobber to be replace by a wooden Pepe.
*Pepe's Shroud of Pacification is a cloak that drops in Battle for Mount Hyjal. There is likely no connection to Pepe the bird aside from the name.
*The Pepe craze apparently reached even Suramar's nobility during the events of Legion.Ly'leth Lunastre#Court of Stars - 
*An animated Pepe is available in Heroes of the Storm.
*Pepe makes a cameo appearance in one of the first full Hearthstone television commercials.Yong Woo on Twitter: "Plus 100 points for noticing the Pepe!"
*The for the Hearthstone expansion Kobolds & Catacombs include a monstrous, humanoid version of Pepe. In the words of Dave Kosak, "[...] the giant hulking Pepe bird did not make it into the set, but did find a place in my nightmares."
