Lore[]

Sherazin is original to Hearthstone. It is a form of plant that doesn't truly die upon being "killed", instead curling up and turning itself into a seed until it is ready to re-emerge.^[1]

Sherazin was promoted through an appearance in World of Warcraft before its Hearthstone release. Sherazin appears as an elite mob during the Un'Goro Madness micro-holiday in World of Warcraft, where it is depicted as a giant lasher. The boss's abilities include a dormant phase, during which it regenerates, immune to players' attacks, but sending out regular pulses of unavoidable damage; players can avoid this by standing next to large crystal spines spawned during the phase.

It's unclear whether Sherazin is male or female, or if its sex is even relevant as a plant. Designers have used both sexes to refer to Sherazin in interviews.^[2]

History[]

Sherazin, Corpse Flower changed quite a bit during development. At one point it had a lower cost, and at another time more stats with only three cards required for its triggered effect. Ultimately the card requirement was increased to four to make it "a little bit build-around", encouraging players to consider synergistic cards for their decks. It also wasn't initially known how Sherazin would work from a UI perspective. One idea was to have the seed sit near the player's Hero Power, but eventually the UI team came up with the solution of treating it as a permanent on the board.^[2]
