A peg-leg is a form of artificial limb. Peg-legs are typically illustrated as a carved piece of wood, as often seen related to pirates. In modern days/games, peg-legs have been replaced by more modern materials. One of the best known game characters using a peg-leg in a modern environment, is Eli Vance from the Half-Life 2 games.



The Legacy of Wirt's Leg

Wirt's Third Leg from World of Warcraft
Wirt's Third Leg from World of Warcraft
The best known peg-leg in the gaming world is without a doubt belonging to the boy Wirt.
  • Wirt is first encountered in Diablo as a NPC in the town of Tristram.
  • In Diablo II, Wirt has unfortunately been killed. By clicking on his corpse, a lot of gold will drop together with an item called "Wirt's Leg". The item appears as a weapon, but has very low stats - making it practically unusable. The player later learns that the item is able to unlock the secret cow level; a place where huge cows with halberds hunts the players, while they all say the characteristic "Moo, moo, moo-moo."
  • In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne an item called "Wirt's Second Leg" is hidden in a secret area as an easter egg.
  • In World of Warcraft the rare item " Wirt's Third Leg" can be found by players in the world of Azeroth.

It obviously makes no sense that Wirt should have three legs, but Blizzard are amongst the elite when it comes to easter eggs and integrated, hidden comedy in games.
