The Beast
Upper Blackrock Spire · Classic Era
Overview
This core hound in Ragnaros's service was captured by Nefarian's forces, tortured for their amusement, then trained to guard the spire. It is even said to have swallowed whole a gnome who came to explore the area.
Strategy
The Beast hits very hard and can kill a cloth wearer in two or three blows: the tank must hold its attention at all times, and a second tank can take over. Its Terrifying Roar makes nearby characters flee for 5 seconds, and it sometimes charges a random character to knock them back. It also casts Immolate and Fireball, and its flames push back nearby characters. A skilled enough skinner can free the gnome by skinning the Beast after the fight.
