Lore

This murloc appears to have been corrupted by the Old Gods, with tentacles in place of legs. However, unlike other corrupted minions, this minion's original form does not feature in Hearthstone. It is possible that the Vilefin Inquisitor is an abnormal murloc or was warped prior to the reawakening of the Old Gods, but this does not match the appearance of Vilefin murlocs in general in World of Warcraft.

The Vile Fin tribe is a tribe of murlocs found in both the Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest.

Trivia

• This card was initially speculated to be an April Fools, due to its being revealed on March 31.
• Silver Hand Murloc's name is a reference to the Silver Hand Recruits summoned by the paladin basic Hero Power Reinforce (as well as other effects). However, they are different minions: for example, Silver Hand Murlocs do not benefit from effects like Warhorse Trainer.
• Vilefin Inquisitor's flavor text is a reference to the principal catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" from the Spanish Inquisition sketch in the British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
  • This catchphrase is also referenced by the flavor text of Archbishop Benedictus.
