Just south of the camp there is a little den with two instantly respawning Brown Marmots. It may be an error but they will not die!--SWM2448 23:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Those are part of the Horde quest The Smallest Creatures, which has you taking control of them to poison kegs of booze. I guess they wanted to make sure that you "Ooh, look, a cute little fuzzy creature, let's kill it." types didn't prevent people from finishing their quest.  ;-) // DarkRyder /  /  // 01:11, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
