Sometimes you come across stuff that just isn't normal.

JWilsons have been around a long time. I think they were taken out of UO for a bit, then came back. If I remember correctly, they were named after a critic of UO way, way back in the day.

NANOC, that house looks like a GREAT fishing spot. Right from inside the house. Where's it located?

What do jWilsons do?

It's slime of another name, Governor. They do the same thing slime does.

Taken from Stratics:

"A slime named after Johnny Wilson, Chief Editor of Computer Gaming World (CGW), who gave UO the award for "Coaster of the Year". "

The article seems to have been published in November of 2002.

And while looking for that, whaddya know?

Quote:

Ultima Online has included some well known Easter eggs throughout the years.

- Lord British's throne is the top half of the Ultima Online logo.
- On rare occasions, casting the spell energy vortex will summon a purple llama instead of the cloud-like creature the spell is meant to summon. The purple llama is labeled in-game as "an energy vortex" and has the same powers as the creature the spell is named for.
- A monster called a slime existed in-game which is a small slithering blob. Some years ago on rare occasions, it was possible to encounter a slime that was renamed a "jwilson," which was purportedly named after magazine editor Johnny Wilson, who had given Ultima Online a bad review and thus earned a derisive place in the game by the developers. "Jwilsons" are no longer in-game on OSI, but still exist in RunUO and (at least some) POL servers.
- Cows may be tipped by clicking on them numerous times.
- Cows can also be renamed Corey Johns when fed 9,999 times.
- Occasionally an aggressive "mad cow" will be spawned in place of a docile cow.
- Pack horses will eat jester hats.
- Walker the legendary Ranger trainer, an NPC trainer in New Haven, looks suspiciously like Chuck Norris, with references to Walker Texas Ranger in his dialog boxes.

Didn't know about the renaming cows...
Sorry, off-topic, but there you have the answer.
