Top 10 Creepiest Bosses in WoW

For this list, I'll be going over dungeon and raid bosses that either have some creepy lore to their backstory, or are themselves just kind of creepy, and a combination of the two.

The creepiest boss is probably my Guild Leader Guy's kinda weird

[@alejandroderienosa4828]

Why are you in that guild in the first place then hehe...

[@nordfidra5192]

Good question heh

[@meatwad7133]

I bet he is the guild leader. :x

[@viggojensen785]

What guild is it?

[@melkorbauglirlordofdarknes411]

I just noticed that C'thun sounds so calm Yogg sounds so aggressive G'huun sounds like a old man who smoked for 40 years

[@jozefkucera8402]

then it means Hirumaredx is Boss , right?

What were you doing in his basement?

[@Nerobyrne]

"I made a giant flesh golem out of women and children!" "WHAT? WHY?" "... no idea really, it seemed a good idea at the time."

[@rileykenney7381]

Ever wonder why so many abominations act like children? The more innocent the soul used to resurrect a flesh golem, the more powerful it is.

[@jeremyabbott4537]

It makes sense from a psychological warfare standpoint. What kind of soldier would be able to keep their composure when they hear women and children screaming for help coming from a giant abomination?

[@Nerobyrne]

well I'd have to try it but somehow that doesn't sound very scary...

[@Kuuribro]

It's not about fear. It's about fucking with your mind, shock, horror at what happened before it got to you.

[@LichlordKazam]

A beautiful construct.

[@Pomodorosan]

Thaddius's screams can be heard throughout the entire raid, and, of course, they stop after killing it.

[@herdent1957]

That's why you always go for Thaddius first when clearing Naxx

[@timstigation9684]

Better yet, that's why you never run Nax

[@StaffordMagnus]

I'm fairly sure the screams can only be heard in that particular wing.

[@maxellas6998]

I have never noticed it when i was running it but the music is creppy and iam not gonna run Max more becuse of this video and comet

[@rolebo1]

6:30 sorry hiru but we didn't run away in that fight. we advanced in a different direction

[@EnDTh3S1L3NcE]

Thinking of that, the best thing imo about BFA was Drustvar, man that zone felt very Diablo inspired, dark, gothic, abnormal and creepy, it was such a jarring shift from almost anything else in WoW and it stuck out for me, absolutely loved leveling through it and hearing the music, ambience and side stories.

[@roohni2226]

“fetid THE devourer” what

[@Purriah]

He doesn’t know that fetid is a word. So his brain added “the” thinking it was a name.

[@soeren555]

How can you have B roll in the background with the actual name and still mess up so hard lmao

[@CaptainIcebeard]

He messes up names so often, even the easiest fucking names in the world, that I legit think he's just kind of dim.

[@soeren555]

@@CaptainIcebeard maybe he has some kind of disorder, there are people that can just not read that well

[@CaptainIcebeard]

@@soeren555 not being able to read well is not an excuse if he is making YT videos which he can check and double check before uploading them. He can write down the names and read them before talking about them. I am convinced it's just a lack of effort on his part.

[@WormyMaster]

It's hard to make a list like this without just ranking 10 bosses from ICC and Naxxramas...

[@maximeraynaud-liblin9558]

Exactly, i was thinking about Marrogwar, Festergut and Rotface, Deathwhisper, Syndragosa, Putricide, or even Valithria ! To me, Syndragosa is one of the creepiest ever, both because of her tragic/insane lore, and because of her voice during the fight.

[@mikeiscoolerthenyou]

Festergut Rotface and Putricide are way to goofy to be creepy.

[@maximeraynaud-liblin9558]

@@mikeiscoolerthenyou Putricide maybe, but Festergut and Rotface are creepy especially because they are goofy. They're goofy because they are children. Gigantic abomination children.

[@TheWieldofrost]

I find Il'gynoth's model quite creepy, maybe because the area is all red vines like human veins.

[@thondaar1863]

The Story of the two Ghosts ya free from the Butcher is creepy. They worked for the noble Family and after the Necromancer shows up to kill everything, they survived behind the walls, hearing the screams of the tortured coworkers before the Necromancers took over the castle. They where living like rats just to survive, but in the end they got caught anyways.

[@therealnelox]

That necromancer was Kel'Thuzad. They were husband and wife and servants to the Barov Family Home. Kel'Thuzad asked the family to allow him to use their home for the Scourge in exchange for immortality. They agreed and their home was turned to the school of necromancy, Scholomance.

[@okumabear]

Number one spot should've been the two flesh golems from ICC, Festergut and Rotface. They're children, essentially. If not for their deranged father figure watching over them and telling them to kill us, they would have likely wanted to play instead. Well, we DID kill their pets too, but again that's Putricide's fault. They are as innocent as a giant undead abomination made from an amalgam of children's flesh can be and we slaughtered them. Unlike Thaddeus, who thanks us and wanted to escape undeath, these two knew no better. They're definitely the most heartbreaking boss in the game and just looking at them, they're unquestionably creepy.

[@yodaonketamine5706]

When I played warcraft 3 I was so scared of the scourge, I literally had nightmares ( I was 8 btw )

[@ffarkasm]

Same when I finally reached Andariel in D2 at the age of 11. ^^ I fought my way to the boss, then I just quit the game because I was so scared.

Alpha Vanilla female trolls.

[@odwapklfdpoewafawoepfawkeopf]

ah yes thanks for correcting me

[@patrickmccurry1563]

Back when they considered the idea of female characters not looking like magazine cover models.

[@FenrisRM]

sadly no boss, yet easily the most disturbing of them all

[@alexsu6618]

Don't forget the female gnome faces

[@SuperballBG]

The screams coming from Thaddius echoing throughout Naxxramas still give me the chills.

[@samscorpio]

Thaddius 'greeting' is even worse, you literally hear multiple voices talking to u at same time And I'm surprised not honorable mention of that creepy mutli-faced demon thing from Argus, he isn't boss but u did add a rare to the list However i think adding escape from Lich King didn't fit at all here "You are too late, I ... must ... OBEY"

[@BlastHeart96]

Yogg is 100% the creepiest boss in WoW imo. His opening line and the way it seamlessly melded the swap in their voices before his fight still gives me spine chills to this day. Not to mention his terrifying appearance. My second favorite would be Thok because of the fight’s premise and overall feel. Same for Thaddeus.

[@NazarusGG]

Also when kill yogg'saron what he says is really creep y and really good

[@kross_apollo1833]

Yogg ( and the void itself) it such a horrifying. The concept of an all consuming, endless, void that can't truly be stopped. Only slowed

[@Loremaster17]

Funny you should mention the potential of the Evergrowth. The Mag'har unlock scenario sees a few Botani escaping into the Barrens and likely the Wailing Caverns.

[@jamesjaguar8734]

I think Cataclysm bosses like Chimaeron, Atramedes, and Sinestra should have an honorable mention.

[@XochiCh]

James Jaguar Yeah, Sinestra was literally raped by Deathwing Atranedes was blinded on purpose And Chimaeron... we don’t talk about Chimaeron...

[@HCadrenaline]

man I was never into Cataclysm when it released, but reading those articles on these characters was a bit intense, WoW has a lot more depth and seriousness than people realise at first glance

[@maxellas6998]

Deathwing did not rape her but he orderd a group of orcs to kidnapp alexstraza and rape her sinestra was honerd of having the eggs but when you kill her she says master the brood is gone but i liked the joke it made me laugh so hard like

[@LanokirX]

Thaddius is the creepiest and saddest boss I know, still terrifies me

[@Snagprophet]

"It's a shame Bliizard did nothing with the Evergrowth" It's thought that the fungus in Uldir is meant to have a similar old god source. So it's kind of being extended

[@DraphEnjoyer]

If you pay attention during the Maghar Orc recruitment scenario, when you're teleported back to Org, you can see some saberon and some botani creatures run off into the barrens.

[@johnj4471]

The Evergrowth had a little hint of passing to Azeroth in the recent allied race questline.

[@dayrenist]

love your channel man. haven't played wow in years but watching all your vids really brings on the feels

[@sukmadik9957]

Ive been waiting for this video for so long

[@Vardomirices]

It's not a boss, but the thing in WoW that creeped me out the most was the labyrinth to get the Lucid Nightmare mount.

[@MaxDragonwolf]

This is old, but I know why the titans were making monsters inside Uldir. The titans were trying to understand the Old Gods. However, things gone very wrong and so they locked away the monsters they had created in Uldir, but in the events of BfA, the seals had been broken. Hope this helps!

[@Isaac-jz9el]

I find G’huun’s voice to be super creepy, the hollow rasp, even just how obscure some of his threats are written

[@NickelRacker112]

I love your videos. Great content!

[@MrWestrum1]

i love your videos! keep it up mate!

[@CaptainGrim]

Damn good list! If I was just minding my own business at work and then I see our new boss walking in and he's a 10 meter tall flesh giant with sewed skin from women and children, metal jaw, hanging brain and ominous ghostly screams surrounding him, i'd probably be somewhat creeped out as well!

[@SinerAthin]

Makes you think how over-the-top Grim Dark Warcraft actually is if you read the lore. So you think being caught in a war, brutalized, tortured and murdered is bad? Well, in Warcraft, that's often just the beginning; as a lot of enemies deal with soul magic, so add possibly _ETERNAL TORTURE_ to that list. Die against the Burning Legion? Your soul will suffer for eternity. Die against the Scourge? You'll spend possibly centuries in a nightmarish undead existence. Or heck, both player factions have warlocks, and there's a host of evil shamans and priests that also deal with soul magic. Considering most humanoids in WoW only live 40-80 yrs, and few can handle being tortured for a -mere- few months; those are some real overkill punishments for mortals! I think I'd rather suffer through WW2 Stalingrad 5 times than die to a warlock a single time xD

[@xxxxx6622]

If you die to a warlock and become imprisoned in a soul gem, your spirit is condemned to an eternal existence in a hell like plane where you will burn down to the last molecule of your body, regenerate and repeat the same process over and over and over again......forever!

[@lexkappa]

Great video !

[@verter28]

The forge of souls is way creepier than the soul reliquary. Those voice lines are freaky.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

That little girl in Drustvar.... She was so creepy she should be in this list.

[@Plaguuuu]

Yogg Saron was amazing, super fun fight with awesomely creepy voice acting. For me though boss that left creepiest vibe has to be Teron Gorefiend, something about that voice actors voice has that hair raising on the back of your neck effect for me. "I was the first you know, for me the wheel of death has spun many times" "I have use for you!" "The wheel... spins... again" Still remember it nearly decade later.

[@latinghost4807]

Another great video

[@aigarza9]

C'thun and Yogg are the creepiest for me. I always get super unnerved when I get to their areas that I regret going to their specific raids sometimes lol

[@brannwen]

The Evergrowth (and everything having to do with it) has always creeped me out, even when Draenor was still relevant. I hated anything to do with it, mostly because cordyceps and mind-burrowing fungus (mind-burrowing anything tbh) is fucking horrifying to me.

[@Rallyhn]

G'huun isn't a real old god though, he's an artificial one made by the titans

[@Voknerech10Z]

Rallyhn Still an Old God tho. He's basically a new old god.

[@edwardness7497]

Weird definition, creating the body is one thing... still don't understand how they created the mind... "an experiment gone wrong" but I suppose magic and stuff...

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

[@maximksiendzov7797]

To me the creepiest by appearance is still Princess Theradras. The chills I got getting to her chamber some 15 years ago are incomparable to any other boss in this list.

[@snootycapybara3683]

[@SpunkMcKullins]

For what it's worth, in regard to Yalnu, during the Mag'har recruitment scenario, if you look quickly, a few Saberon and Botani are seen running off after they were taken to Azeroth too, so there's always hope for a Barrens overgrowth.

[@thomasmims7850]

[@glorfindrasborgia9074]

Nythendra from The Emerald Nightmare creeped me out. She's like those maggot monsters from Dark Souls 3, just a bundle of nasty bugs, disease and rot. Sad to see a Green Dragonflight dragon become such a thing.

[@rickhobson3211]

C'Huun or however you spell it isn't an Old God. It was a creation of the Titans meant to mimic an Old God so they could study it. Yog wasn't imprisoned in a "Titan Research Facility." That facility was built for the specific purpose of imprisoning him.

[@user-dq9hl7oy7j]

ngl, the forgotten experiments, at least 20% of the Shadowlands raid bosses and N'zoth would also be disturbing, some even more disturbing than Thaddius. At least Thaddius had a wholesome ending.

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

G'Huun is not a pure Old God, he is an experiment of the Titans that they created (By accident) when they experimented on the Old Gods and accidentally created an avatar of sorts of the Old Gods. Currently there are only 2 in-game as bosses, C'thun and Yogg-Saron. The heart of Y'Shaarj was the heart used by Hellscream in Pandaria (left by the Titans when they discovered that pulling an old god out of the planet was a bad idea) and coming soon N'Zoth (The old god in the Warbringers: Azshara video) :)

technically g'huun isnt even a old god, he acts like one but it may only be because of that he was created when they were experimenting upon the corruption of old gods. he wasnt created by the void and sent to corrupt a world soul, he was created when the titan keepers were trying to find a way to stop old god corruption upon the world soul.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

Is an artificial old gold. Is the margarine of the old god roster.

Biologically, he's an Old God. Creation-whise not.

[@misternoxxnoxx]

He's basically an old gods child... which still makes him an old god, just not as old.

[@mikeiscoolerthenyou]

Ghuun intent is also way different than an old god. Old gods are trying to corrupt the world soul so that they can bring the void lords into azeroths universe Ghuun just wants to devour everything.

[@Ocyla]

Not sure if someone else has said this, but Raal the Gluttonous is based off of Baal, Lord of Feasts from Dungeons and Dragons. Baal is practically identical to Raal, not only in the name but in the mechanics of the fights, except that Baal would also charm players and then proceed to eat them if it wasn't broken.

2:16 actually, you're mistaken buddy. there is a "possible" invasion of plant dudes on Azeroth. once you finish Mag'Har orcs quest chain and you teleport them all into our-time Azeroth, you'll see whole bunch of army passing through the portal... AAAAAND, at the end, there are 2-3 "botanical dudes/humanoids" passing though and rushing their way into the barrens. Maybe they found their refuge within wailing caverns.
