Actually, Chromaggus was my weakest minion. Were you impressed with yourself?

Lore[]

Blackrock Mountain

What’s worse than a horrible mutant dragon monstrosity that uses magic? A horrible mutant dragon monstrosity that uses five types of magic, obviously! Chromaggus unleashes abilities ripped from the flesh of all five dragon flights. Don’t ask how he got those powers. Viscera are involved. Hey, we told you not to ask! You’ll have to battle the chromatic horror before you can take on Lord Victor Nefarius.[3]

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.

Chromaggus is a two-headed dragon beast in Blackrock MountainNefarian's service, who resides in Blackwing Lair, coming after Flamegor and before Nefarian. He drops the Tier 2 shoulders for all classes.

One of the most challenging aspects to Chromaggus is the randomness of his abilities. As the name suggests (the word chromatic is derived from "khroma", the Greek word for "color", suggesting Chromaggus takes his powers from dragonflights of all colors), Chromaggus shimmers in a variety of colors, which relate to his current abilities. These abilities are determined upon instance creation, and will only be reset with the instance timer.

Despite his canine appearance, he's actually a dragonkin. It is speculated that he was created by Nefarian experimenting on captured Core Hounds, such as LegacyThe Beast found in Upper Blackrock Spire, possibly by feeding or injecting dragon blood from various dragons from all dragonflights.

Trivia[]

Rather than benefiting Chromaggus, an earlier version of this encounter had the boss' special cards punishing the player, such as increasing the cost of their minions. However, in testing the developers found this design to be "too stifling".[4]

Another prototype design for this encounter saw the player replaced by a Chromatic Dragonkin hero, whose hero power Blackrock MountainMutation would cause them to discard a card from their hand.[4]
