Blog Azeroth Shared Topic; What sort of boss would you be?

By Uncleleo | February 22, 2010

I would love to be a raid mini boss like Stinky and Precious in ICC. No good loot and no real purpose but to piss off the raid group trying to get past me. But a big dog? Come on there’s much better animals then that. I’m stealing this but I think it would make a great pop culture reference.

“Tim: There he is!
King Arthur: Where?
Tim: There!
King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit?
Tim: It *is* the rabbit!
King Arthur: You silly sod!
Tim: What?
King Arthur: You got us all worked up!
Tim: Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He’ll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I’m warning you!
Sir Robin: What’s he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He’s got huge, sharp… er… He can leap about. Look at the bones!
King Arthur: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
Sir Bors: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin’ right up!”
Clip from Monty Python and The Holy Grail

Think about this as a weekly raid quest. There’s an old man waiting at the entrance of the second wing of ICC. I can literally see this conversation happening.

As for appearance, did anyone see the Hogger Raid video from Blizzcon? He looks so small in the video. Yet is packing a quick cruel punch. What if you came across a little bunny in ICC, maybe one fake ear or a tail that’s been sewed back on by Putricide, piles of bones all around him from heroes before you.

Here’s how the fight goes. You talk to the old man. He gives you the disclaimer above. You then walk in to engage the bunny. He comes up to your raid group friendly, smells blood on you from the previous kills you have made and goes into a frenzy. Jumping from raid member to raid member throwing bleed effects on everyone from his sharp pointy teeth. Think about the cat lady encounter in Ulduar except without the Lady. Bunch the group together to keep him from pouncing. Next ability would be Bunny Eyes (The Bunny fixes his cute watery eyes on you) turn around like the ToC boss, Eadric the Pure, or you will be mesmerized by his cuteness and lose control of yourself for 10 secs. His other ability would be an AoE attack much like a Rogues fan of knives only he would be throwing out bones from the adventures before you. Or carrots but that seems a little ridiculous that a warrior in plate armor would get hurt by a vegetable. Last but not least is the burrow ability. At 30% health the bunny becomes rabid and will burrow every 10 secs reappearing in a random spot and your group must be quick to group on him to prevent pounces and stuns.
All that work to be rewarded with nothing. No Loot for You!

So there it is. My raid boss. Nothing super hard but damn cute.

    That rabbit is dynamite! We’d better not risk another frontal assualt.

    I have one in the bank, summon back?
