There is a place, up in the mountains far away from the battle between the Horde and the Alliance, where kids play and grow up unaware of the war. It’s near the Throne of Elements. And who knows someday one of those kids might claim it, if the farmers ever leave.

There are several places in the World of Warcraft that are just fun to see. Let’s go take a look at one.

For one reason or another there are several bosses in WoW that most people don’t know about or have been forgotten. Some drop great loot and some are just fun. Let’s take a look at one.

Yor

Profile: Prince Shaffar’s lapdog. Release the hound and get some Yar’s Revenge!
Where: Heroic Mana-Tombs
How: Yor
Loot: A selection of epic level 100 rings, half of which are good for PvP or stamina gear.

I wanted to run heroic Mana-Tombs a few times for some loot and I was curious about Yor so I did what was at the time a difficult quest chain to unlock him. But on my first encounter I was surprised at how easy the fight was. He doesn’t do much special, a simple tank and spank fight, except breath fire which is always fun. So make sure you aren’t in front of him unless you are a tank.

Doomwalker and Doom Lord Kazzak

Profile: Kill the demon that reopened the Dark Portal and Kil’jaeden’s giant griefing robot. Get some payback and make Illidan happy with you.
Where: Shadowmoon Valley and Hellfire Peninsula
How: Doomwalker and Kazzak
Loot: A wide selection of epic level 120 items. Fat loot before you hit the higher 25 man raids.

My first encounter with Doomwalker was a late night pug raid. Someone decided to to put together a pug group. Recruiting from general and trade along with people arm twisting their own guildies was accompanied by the general choas of organizing a pug raid. Eventually we had our group and converged on the outskirts of the Black Temple. It was a great fight, even though we died that time. But there was nothing like 40 people swooping into the fight with griffons, dragons, ravens, and rays to setup and take him down.

Anzu

Profile: Angry Bird God taking over the Emerald Dream, kill him and then use his corpse as a mount.
Where: Heroic Sethekk Halls
How: Anzu
Loot: A shard and a shot at a great new mount.

This boss is one of the more enjoyable ones in the heroic instances. Essentially druids find that an angry bird god is causing trouble in the Emerald Dream and it’s time to take action. After a long quest chain which leads to Anzu, you have the chance to put a stop to it once and for all, or until you go back to the instance to do it again. This is also the last step in a quest chain for druids to get their epic flight form.

Karazhan Animals

Profile: Hound, Bat, and Spider gives phat lewtz. Who knew?
Where: Karazhan, servent’s quarters.
How: Shadikith, Rokad, Hyakiss
Loot: Random epic level 115 belt, wrist, or foot items. Get geared up for Kara. Find specialized role items.

I had always wondered what the servant quarter’s in Karazhan contained besides an infestation of spiders, bats, and hounds. I had been through it a couple times but never saw anything except these mobs, and the groups I had been with all skipped past it and headed to Moroes.

But in these quarters are probably one of the least know groups of bosses in the expansion. Most guilds likely skip them because they don’t know about them, have time constraints, or they are farming the instance for other loot. But these bosses are special and worth a stop if you aren’t on farm status with Karazhan, don’t have a full set of epics better than level 115, need some specialized loot, or are just curious.
