Fans of World of Warcraft and Old School RuneScape have expressed interest in adding the viral raccoon Jimothy to the games after developers posted images of the animal. A small raccoon in Seattle, identified by observers as having Short Spine Syndrome, became widely shared on social media after an Instagram video posted by user Kiana Hall. Hall said she named the animal after it 'looked like a Jimothy.' The post generated millions of views and numerous fan edits.

Dee Dee Creations, the studio behind the 2024 game Squirrel With a Gun, released a 43‑second video featuring a Jimothy skin. Blizzard Entertainment posted a render of Jimothy in World of Warcraft, and Old School RuneScape shared a graphic of the raccoon. The developers noted the content was a modification of an existing raccoon skin and not a downloadable item for players.

Community members posted requests such as a battle pet, a mount, or a transmog, with one player hoping the raccoon would be made unattackable. No official implementation has been announced.
