12 Year Old Taunts Moose To Save Sister
Games and the World of Warcraft in particular tend to get some bad press with regards to addiction and stories of violence but it all stops here! Well kind of. Hans, a young Norwegian boy found his sister in the path of a charging moose and used his World of Warcraft instincts to good effect.
Next To Nature reports:
“Hans and his sister got into trouble after they had trespassed the territory of the moose during a walk in the forest near their home. When the moose attacked them, Hans knew the first thing he had to do was ‘taunt’ and provoke the animal so that it would leave his sister alone and she could run to safety. ‘Taunting’ is a move one uses in World of Warcraft to get monsters off of the less-well-armored team members.”
Hit the jump for the full story.
“Once Hans was a target, he remembered another skill he had picked up at level 30 in ‘World of Warcraft’ – he feigned death. The moose lost interest in the inanimate boy and wandered off into the woods. When he was safely alone Hans ran back home to share his tale of video game-inspired survival.”
Well there you have it, Hans is a real life World of Warcraft hunter proving the game teaches valuable real life skills. All you unemployed folk out there go explore Azeroth for some valuable experience and don’t forget to include it on your C.V.

You may remember me from video features such as the Cataclysm Beta and HowToStarCraftII.
My gaming upbringing was a mixture of NES, SNES and Megadrive before my brother decided to convert to the church of PlayStation.
Nowadays I have my own cash and own all of the major consoles and a top of the range gaming PC. Dropping a grand to upgrade my PC is not a huge decision, it's a requirement! If you can't find me on the PS3 or 360 then I am probably on my PC playing the latest MMO, RTS or FPS.
