Mit Leine auf Schlachtzug IV: Zorn des Schleckkönigs
has a number of adorable and creepy new battle pets; for players who raided during Wrath, these pets are also steeped in nostalgia. All of the pets are clever throwbacks to encounter mechanics in Wrath, which we'll take a look at!
Ulduar
Ulduar, the prison of Yogg-Saron, was a sprawling raid in Wrath of the Lich King. It had an innovative way to start hardmodes--instead of switching the difficulty of the encounter before fighting, players would have to start the encounter in a certain way to unlock the hardmode. For example: defeating Thorim's gauntlet in 3 minutes or less would trigger his hardmode.
There were two end-bosses in Ulduar that awarded Feats of Strength and titles:
Algalon der Beobachter
which was only open an hour a week, and
Yogg-Saron
which had multiple hardmode steps.
Outside of the pets, Ulduar is worth farming for
Mimirons Kopf
,
Val'anyr, Hammer der Uralten Könige
,
Bezwungene Klauen von Yogg-Saron
, achievements like
Ruhm des Schlachtzüglers von Ulduar (25 Spieler)
, and some
great transmog gear
.
For the short version of clearing Ulduar, check out Henderman's
Burn 'em Down: A Pocket Guide to Ulduar
and for the longer version covering all achievements, please read eidyia's
Ulduar - The Complete Achiever's Guide
.
Magmawüterchen
- This pet is a mini-version of the awful exploding trash mobs
Magmawüter
before
Ignis, Meister des Eisenwerks
! This fight was healing intense with lots of fire on the floor and the famous moment of being thrown into the molten fire pot (
Heiße Angelegenheit (10 Spieler)
). The pet mimics these fiery perils with abilities such as
Vulkan
and
Magmawelle
.
Runengeschmiedetes Dienerlein
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Gehärteter Eisengolem
trash before Kolagarn and the Iron Council. Defeating the Iron Council on hardmode was needed to start the
Datenscheibe des Archivums
quest chain.
Winterwüterchen
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Winterklagegeist
trash before
Hodir
. This frosty encounter periodically froze players, dropped icicles, and applied
Beißende Kälte
to stationary players, reflected in the
Eisstachel
and
Rutschiges Eis
abilities.
Ultrapanzer G0-R41-0N
- This pet looks like the base of the completed
Mimiron
construct, V0-1T-R0N. It has an ability named after the scary
XE-321 Bummboter
trash that surrounds
Mimiron
's room. In the Mimiron encounter, players fought different parts of his construct, and then a challenging version fused all together. Perhaps the most fun part of the encounter was hitting the big red button to start hardmode! In Legion, Mimiron is now an ally and helps players
obtain the Beast Mastery Artifact
.
Eisenbeschlagener Protowelpe
- This pet is a miniature
Klingenschuppe
and shares the ability
Flügelstoß
with the
Ulduar
boss.
Klingenschuppe
was a fun boss with a cool harpoon mechanic to bring her down from the air. This pet is also a baby version of the
Zügel des eisenbeschlagenen Protodrachen
mount.
Späherjunges des Sanktums
- This pet is a pet version of the
Späher des Sanktums
adds summoned by
Auriaya
. The mobs were notoriously difficulty to deal with, using
Anspringen
on players and dealing increased damage if not separated. Defeating Auriaya without killing any cats awards the
Die verrückte Katzenlady (25 Spieler)
achievement.
Knallpeitscher
- This pet is similar to the
Explodierender Peitscher
adds that spawn during the
Freya
fight. These adds exploded when killed, dealing huge amounts of damage. These became even deadlier on hard mode with the abilities
Hellblatts Essenz
and
Eisenasts Essenz
.
Schleichendes Tentakel
- This pet looks like the tentacles that spawn on the
Yogg-Saron
fight and also have the ability
Schleichender Wahnsinn
, a reference to a mechanic in the
Yogg-Saron
fight.
Yogg-Saron
was an incredibly difficult fight and required you to keep your sanity low while also precisely killing adds and killing his brain. Obtaining the
Erster Todesbote des Realms!
achievement awarded the title.
Sternenstaub
- This innocent little star bunny has two of
Algalon der Beobachter
's most difficult abilities -
Phasenschlag
and
Kosmischer Schlag
. This was a stressful fight since, when he was released, raid teams only had an hour a week to work on him - afterwards he would disappear. Obtaining the
Erster Himmelsverteidiger des Realms!
achievement awarded the title.
Trial of the Crusader
Prüfung des Kreuzfahrers
was the first raid Blizzard introduced limited-attempt mechanics on. When activating hardmode, players would only have 50 attempts to defeat the five bosses. The fewer attempts used, the better the loot reward would be at the end of the raid, including mounts like
Schneller Wolf der Horde
and
Schnelles Ross der Allianz
on 10-player and high ilvl capes on 25-player. There were special rewards for completing the instance with 0 deaths on 25-player mode:
Weißes Schlachtross des Kreuzfahrers
and
Schwarzes Schlachtross des Kreuzfahrers
.

The Crusader's Coliseum
.
Ätzmaul
- If
Ätzschlund
and
Schreckensmaul
from ToC had a baby Jormungar, this would be it! It has both fire and poison abilities, like the boss fight from which it drops. In this encounter, the
Paralysierendes Toxin
ability which applies a stun can only be cleared by the
Brennende Galle
ability, which deals damage to players.
Nerubischer Schwärmer
- This pet is a mini-version of the adds that spawn during the
Anub'arak
fight in ToC. Most of the fight, until the very end, was dealing with
Neruber
adds by placing
Permafrost
on the ground to kill them on, which prevented them from borrowing and also cancelled out
Verfolgende Stacheln
in Phase 2.
Schneeboldwicht
- This pet is not included in the actual achievement because it has a low drop rate. It is a reference to the
Schneeboldvasall
which would sit on player heads during
Gormok der Pfähler
and cast silence via
Einprügeln
. They had to be killed as quickly as possible, unless you were going for the
Schlag in den Nacken (25 Spieler)
achievement.
Icecrown Citadel
Die Eiskronenzitadelle
is the definitive raid of Wrath of the Lich King. Its final boss is none other than Arthas Menethil, the Lich King himself! This raid progressively unlocked over the course of many weeks; the end bosses had limited attempts as well.
Acquiring
Schattengram
was a major part of Icecrown Citadel; the player who finished the questline also obtained
Sylvanas' Spieluhr
,
Jainas Medaillon
,
Wappenrock des Lichtbringers
,
Muradins Gunst
, and
Zügel des scharlachroten Todesstreitrosses
. Farming Icecrown Citadel is still popular today for
Unbesiegbars Zügel
and
Schatz' Schleife
.
Learn more about the instance with SquireKel's guide
Glory of the Icecrown Raider
.
Knochi
- This mini
Lord Mark'gar
has the famous phrase
KNOCHENSTURM
as 3 of his abilities - each version costs progressively more of your total health. Bonestorm was deadly if raid members who were
Spitzer
during the fight were not freed in time.
Faulatem
- The baby version of
Fauldarm
/
Modermiene
. These bosses were gross - lots of bile and vomit and gas during all phases of these fights! The
Schleim
is a reference to Professor Putricide's important ability
Schleimpfütze
. This pool would spread, dealing damage to players, and it was contained by having a player transform into a Muted Abomination and
Schlamm essen
.
Ghulsklave
- Scores of these would spawn during the first phase of the
Der Lichkönig
fight. You had to use these adds to bounce around the
Nekrotische Seuche
during the fight in order to kill other, bigger adds - the Shambling Horror. Letting the plague stack very high was needed for
Darauf hab ich lange genug gewartet (25 Spieler)
.
Siedeblut
- A reference to the ability on the Heroic version of
Todesbringer Saurfang
,
Blutnova
. This fight was a serious DPS race - outpacing the damage of the blood abilities was difficult! When Blood Nova hit multiple players, Saurfang would generate more Blood Power and deal additional damage.
Seelengebrochener Welpling
- A baby, un-undead Sindragosian whelp. Famous for her line "Your pathetic magic will betray you!" this fight was all about managing your debuffs and placing ice blocks appropriately.
Niederträchtige Seele
- This pet looks like the ghosts summoned by
Widerwärtige Geister
during the
Der Lichkönig
fight. When you were inside Frostmourne on the heroic version of this fight, these ghosts had to be killed and exploded upon death.
