I played WoW for many years. Killing murlocs was a way of life ;)
World of Warcraft. In Ironforge a female night elf has killed the two unique murloc pets and the person dressed as a murloc. Oops.

This might interest you. It is an undated flyer from the Brooklands Society (I would guess late 60s or early 70s). I just discovered it while going through some postcards and pictures.
A promotional flyer for the Brooklands Society, probably in the 1960s, depicting Roy Nockolds' painting of cars racing on the banked curve in the 1937 500 Miles Race at Brooklands. A silver car, number 30 is just ahead of a red car, number 20, with three other cars behind them. The painting was to be used as the society's Christmas Card, sold at £1 per dozen.
