Dark Arakkoa is a common druid minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Quotes

 * Summon
 * The Ancient One caws.


 * Attack
 * By beak and caw!

Strategy
Dark Arakkoa is a very solid druid card, providing C'Thun a generous +3/+3 buff as well as having a sturdy 5/7 Taunt minion, for only 6 mana, making it even a valuable card in non-C'Thun decks.

In a C'Thun focused deck, this card is also worth pairing with Twilight Elder, as both benefit from a solid statline as well as the fact that their combined effects quite easily achieve the 10 Attack requirement that other C'thun related cards have.

Without champions, and without hope, the Outcasts ultimately heeded the influence of an Old God and were lost to the darkness in which they'd once taken refuge.

Trivia

 * The pronunciation for this minion's quotes is "intentionally ambiguous", with the last word of the lines "The Ancient One calls" and "By beak and claw!" blurred into "caw" or "caws", a pun on the Arakkoa's avian heritage.
