My Favourite Classic Dungeon Bosses
Considering the dungeons required for Classic Dungeonmaster, here is my personal favourite bosses, in roughly recommended instance level order:
- Mekgineer Thermaplugg
Lots of people hate Gnomeregan, but I don't really mind it at all. I like Thermaplugg not only because of the nice quest rewards from The Grand Betrayal but also because he's quite clearly gone bonkers. And not only bonkers, but sat in a giant robot suit and in charge of a huge supply of bombs -- great fun! - Amnennar the Coldbringer
I've picked Amnennar purely because he's a lich, and I love the undead and specifically the lich model. The build up to the fight with this lich as you climb the Spiral of Thorns, defeating his undead minions along the way is also pretty cool. I love killing me some undead.
- Gahz'rilla
Gahz'rilla is a huge, three headed hydra who lives in Zul'Farrak. Your reward for slaying such a terrifying beast? A [Carrot on a Stick]. I think this might be a metaphor for the entire MMO industry. - Princess Theradras
Ooh, she's so purdy. - Shade of Eranikus
Along with Dreamscythe, Weaver, Morphaz and Hazzas, Eranikus is a favourite of mine because he's a dragon, and killing dragons is a very satisfying fantasy trope. He also drops the quest item that gets you the [Chained Essence of Eranikus], which is a fun trinket. Any item that lets the trapped soul of a dragon whisper death threats to you is pretty good in my book. - Bael'Gar
I really like Blackrock Depths as a whole, but Bael'Gar is my favourite boss of the instance. I like the gooey lava blob adds he summons and I have fond memories of soloing him with my hunter, my pet dying right at the last moment, but still pulling it off. - Immol'thar
This is another pick because of the model -- I think this is a great looking boss. It's also an interesting fight, due to the evil floating Eye of Immol'thar adds he summons, and his ability to teleport players high into the air, leaving them to fall to their (potential) deaths. - Grand Crusader Dathrohan
Once you get Dathrohan down to 40% health, he reveals his true form - the Grand Crusader has been possessed by the Dreadlord Balnazzar. I like fights with really obvious phases and transformations, and turning into a huge demon is a pretty good example of the tranforming-boss genre.
So - which are your favourite classic bosses?
