There aren't (yet) any specifically-Diablo 3 [[Easter Eggs]] in [[World of Warcraft]]. There are, however, a number of Easter Eggs derived from the Diablo series on the whole.
The following is quoted from WowWiki.com. [http://www.wowwiki.com/Diablo] This list does not include the dozens of skills, monsters, quests, and other game elements directly derived from Diablo and Diablo 2.
* In reference to his demonic form in Frozen Throne, one of Illidan's gag quotes is "Wings, horns, hooves...what am I saying, is this Diablo?"
* An item called the {{iw|Cow King Cow King}}'s Hide.
* An item called [[Wirt]]'s Third Leg.
===Diablo Mini-Pet===
The first World of Warcraft expansion, the Burning Crusade, added a Diablo mini-pet as a reward for people who purchased the expansion. (Which means that absolutely everyone playing the game today has one.)
This pet follows, is very cute in a fierce sort of way, and has a fire-breathing "rest" animation.
===Tyrael Mini-Pet===

A [[Tyrael]] mini-pet was added with a special conversion code given out to attendees to Blizzard's WWI 2008, in Paris. This code enabled the Tyrael mini-pet, who hovers along after the player, and can /dance, when required.
This was one of the rarest and most sought-after of all mini-pets at the time, with codes selling for upwards of $800 on eBay.
