Lore

This section uses content from Wowpedia.

Subject Nine is a level 15 quest giver located at the Secret Lab in Azshara. She is a sentient raptor attempting to engineer an escape.

She also appears (as a hatchling) at KTC Headquarters on Kezan during the goblin starting experience, where Hobart Grapplehammer reveals that he was responsible for her sentience - among other things.

Imported from the Barrens, this female raptor was made intelligent by Hobart Grapplehammer. On Kezan she was still a hatchling.

She was bred with Subject Four in order to create a unique race of cognitively superior raptors. She plans to leave Azeroth with her children and colonize a new world.

In Hearthstone lore, Subject Nine joined Boom Labs after departing from Azshara. After arriving, she received several new robotic body parts. While she had some help from characters with opposable thumbs, and Dr. Boom provided some unhelpful advice, in truth she was the genius behind her own "evolution".

Trivia

• Subject 9's flavor text is a reference to "Clever girl", a famous quote from the 1993 film Jurassic Park that has since become a meme in its own right.
  • This quote is also referenced by Cornered Sentry's death quote and Mounted Raptor's flavor text.
• Subject 9's summon quote is a play on "Cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am," a popular proposition by French philosopher René Descartes.
