History Characters / HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraftBosses

* NintendoHard: The first bosses are always {{Warmup Boss}}es with low hp and crappy hero power. The later ones? Let's just say you'll ''need'' those overpowered treasures you gather on the way.

!!Russel the Bard

A pair of paladins who somehow found themselves in the catacombs after being lost on an expedition in Un'goro. George's 2-mana hero power gives all minions he controls Divine Shield, while Karl's hero power summons two Silver Hand Recruits. George goes first, and is replaced with Karl after being defeated. If encountered later, George will switch out for Karl at about half health. Defeating Karl results in George returning to the fight where he left off.

! Dungeon Bosses in General
* DifficultySpike: Once the player reaches level 6, the bosses get significantly harder, starting with extra mana crystals and having stronger hero powers.
* LuckBasedMission: The bosses for levels 2 through 7 are selected at random from this list. There's no telling if the next one happens to counter your current deck.

!! A. F. Kay
''Waylay this adventurer while she isn't paying attention!''

One of Tirion Fordring's former "champions". Her hero power is Idle, which is two mana and [[JokeCharacter does nothing]]. [[spoiler: Or so it seems.]]

* AscendedExtra: She was just a popular one-off gag from Knights of the Frozen Throne. Now she's another treasure hunter, and a very silly boss.
* BrilliantButLazy: [[spoiler: She's one of the most powerful opponents in the game, but she's too distracted to bother playing, at least initially.]]
* GoodBadBugs: Blizzard apparently didn't plan for a scenario where Kay gains a weapon (such as via Blingtron), and she will happily chop your minions to ribbons as soon as she gets one [[spoiler: Even if it isn't turn 6 yet.]]
* JokeCharacter: She's AFK. She does nothing. Her Hero Power does nothing. She never plays any cards. She literally does nothing. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope For the first six turns, that is.]]]]
* TimeLimitBoss: [[spoiler: Her true nature. If A. F. Kay isn't beaten by turn 6, she'll suddenly realize that she's supposed to be playing the game, and will spam the board with 0-cost 8/8 minions, then refill her hand and do it again next turn. Not a single class in the game can weather this onslaught barring some extremely precise treasure/card combinations, so the only option is to kill her fast]].

!! Battlecrier Jin'zo
''When he calls in the troops, they listen. Twice.''

His hero power passively causes all Battlecry effects to trigger twice.

!! Blackseed
''This furbolg's dark magic twists the other dungeonfolk.''

A corrupted furbolg. His hero power evolves a minion into one that costs 1 mana more for free. If encountered at a later level, his hero power instead costs 1 mana, and evolves a minion into one that costs 3 mana more.

* TheCorruption: Most likely a pawn of the Old Gods.
* EvilutionaryBiologist

!! Brimstone Warden
''At all costs, stop him from waking the ancient guardians...''

He begins the battle with four 15/5 golems that can't attack, and have a deathrattle of causing him to lose mana. His 5-mana hero power silences all his minions, enabling them to attack.

* TimeLimitBoss: The moment he reaches 5 mana, he awakens his golems, allowing them to attack. No hero can survive this, so the player is forced to give up their minions to kill the golems and buy some more time.

!! Bristlesnarl
''This legendary furbolg hunter can quickly call on big friends.''

A bramble-covered furbolg. His 3-mana hero power reduces the cost of the cards in his hand by 1.

!! Candlebeard
''This kobold pirate's favorite move is chaaaarrge!''

A kobold who found a pirate's treasure. He uses an aggressive pirate deck, and his hero power gives a minion of his Charge for 1 mana. If encountered at a later level, his hero power passively bestows Charge to his minions.

* AttackAttackAttack: His main strategy, which is befitting a pirate deck, especially with that hero power.
* CaptainColorbeard
* TalkLikeAPirate: Mixed with the koboldian YouNoTakeCandle speaking. Would you prefer anything else?

!! Chronomancer Inara
''Once she powers up, beware of her mastery of time!''

Her hero power costs 10 mana, but lets her take an extra turn at the cost of 3 mana crystals.

* ExtraTurn: Once she reaches 10 mana, her hero power does that.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Has several unique cards that were last seen in the ''Karazhan'' prologue battle. Prepare to see Archmage's Insight be used for a slew of free spells, and even more if Looming Presence is among those cards.

!! Elder Bramblemar
''The bane of magic users, this furbolg can counter any spell.''

A furbolg anti-mage. His hero power is Dampen Magic, which puts a Counterspell into play.

* AntiMagic: He plays constant Counterspells.
* CripplingOverspecialization[=/=]WeaksauceWeakness: Minion-heavy decks are [[JustForPun bearly]] affected by him.
* MageKiller: His hero power can '''destroy''' any spell-heavy draft.

!! Elder Jari
''This furbolg elder calls arcane energies to her defense.''

A furbolg mystic who builds armor very quickly. Her hero power grants 3 armor for 1 mana, combined with a deck that uses many taunts.

A furbolg who uses ice magic. Her hero power freezes an enemy minion.

A pair of paladins who somehow found themselves in the catacombs after being lost on an expedition in Un'goro. George's 2-mana hero power gives all minions he controls Divine Shield, while Karl's hero power summons two Silver Hand Recruits. George goes first, and is replaced with Karl after being defeated. If encountered later, George will switch out for Karl at about half health. Defeating Karl results in George returning to the fight where he left off.

* AscendedExtra: They were first mentioned in the flavour texts for Lost in the Jungle and Vinecleaver.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Their inability to navigate lands them in the catacombs in the first place.
* SequentialBoss: You'll need to beat through two separate opponents with different hero powers.
* SwitchOutMove: Performed to switch between George and Karl.
* ZergRush: A lot of their cards -- and Karl's hero power -- fill the board with minions, which can be problematic if they are all granted Divine Shield.

!!Gnosh the Greatworm
''Always looking to devour the largest, tastiest minions.''

Its hero power, which it uncontrollably uses at the start of each turn, destroys the minion with the highest attack.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Several of its minions can boost themselves really quickly, or can be killed to leave a bigger minion behind. Gnosh will then proceed to eat said empowered minion.
* HungryMenace: It's always hungry, and will eat the strongest minion on the board. Even its own.
* WeaksauceWeakness: If it eats anything with Poisonous, it dies immediately.

!! Graves the Cleric
''This healing adventurer was separated from his old party.''

* LightIsNotGood: A Holy priest who's willing to kill any adventurers trying to take the treasure he's hunting.
* WhiteMage: Almost everything he does involves healing.

!! Gutmook
''This trogg elder and his minions flock towards sources of magic.''

A king trogg. His hero power is passive, reacting to when the player casts spells. The first version has him summon Tunnel Troggs whenever the player casts a spell. The second, used when he's encountered at later levels, instead draws him a card and reduces its cost to 1.

* MageKiller: He can pile up cheap cards against a spell-heavy deck. He also uses cards like the Stonesplinter Trogg and Burgly Bully to benefit from your spells even further.
* ZergRush: Recklessly casting spells against him either results in a field full of Tunnel Troggs, or his hand being full of greatly discounted threats.

!!Ixlid
''Its deadly spores can kill an adventurer instantly!''

Its hero power summons a Deadly Spore, and is used every turn where possible. This Deadly Spore may be a 1/1, but it also has Poisonous and the ability to instantly kill the hero if they connect.

As a playable card, Ixlid is a 5-mana 2/4 Druid legendary that summons a copy of whatever minion its controller plays.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Priests can easily take control of the Deadly Spore and kill it with it.
* OneHitKill: Delivered by the Deadly Spore. With the Magic Mirror or Amulet of Domination, you can even take one for yourself to use on the other bosses in the rest of the run!
* PlantPerson: Averted. He looks like a Fen Creeper, but WordOfGod says he's an earth elemental controlling a patch of mossy dirt.
* RushBoss: It has much lower health than most other bosses. However, its Deadly Spore instantly kills anything it touches, including the hero.

!! Kraxx
''This ancient stone guardian prefers the loot to stay here.''

A massive stone golem. His hero power deals 1 damage to all minions, and his deck abuses this with minions that gain power when taking damage.

* LivingStatue
* TrampledUnderfoot: His hero power is meant to be a mighty stomp.

!! Lava-Filled Chamber
''The kobolds attempted to board up this lava-filled chamber!''

A dangerous cavern. Its passive hero power deals 2 damage to any minion either player plays.

* AscendedMeme: It's represented by -- what else -- the art for Magma Rager. It doesn't actually play the minion itself, for [[TooDumbToLive obvious reasons]].
* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: Entering a chamber of lava deals 2 damage to you but nothing else.
* LethalLavaLand: What the boss is meant to represent.
* PlayingWithFire[=/=]MagmaMan: Its cards consist of fire and lava minions and spells.

!! Lyris the Wild Mage
''She loves fire. Her minions love that she loves fire.''

A pyromantic pyromaniac. Her hero power adds Arcane Missiles to her hand, synergizing with her deck, which is made entirely of [[OhCrap Flamewakers]].

* AscendedMeme: She sometimes says "Spells are fun! So fun!" when using her hero power, which is Babbling Book's attack quote.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Almost all forms of her damage output come in 1-point increments. There's a ''lot'' of them.
* PlayingWithFire: Not actually her surprisingly, but '''her entire deck consists of Flamewakers'''.
* RandomNumberGod: She relies on Arcane Missiles and Flamewakers to splash random damage everywhere. Her deck doesn't do much else, but it really bullies weeny decks.

!! The Mothergloop
''Don't let its growing, gooey fiends get out of hand.''

* DoppelgangerAttack: Possesses lots of minions which can clone themselves to make the most of its hand buffs.
* SerialEscalation: The longer its minions are kept in hand, the larger they become.

!! Overseer Mogark
''This trogg commander is extra "motivational" to underlings.''

* BadBoss: He hurts his own minions to boost them up.

* WhipItGood: His weapon. He even quotes this when using his hero power.

!! Pathmaker Hamm
''There's more than one way for a kobold to dig a tunnel.''

A kobold miner who prefers to use dynamite. His hero power deals 1 damage to two random enemies, and activates every turn. If encountered at a later level, this hero power deals 2 damage to each of three random enemies instead.

* DungeonBypass: Implied to be his method of "digging".
* MadBomber: Implied by his quotes and hero power. Especially prevalent with how his hero power has to be used every turn, even if losing the mana is a detriment, and how it's similar to the minion literally named Mad Bomber.

His 2-mana hero power takes control of a minion with 2 attack or less.

* TheBard: Well, natch.

!!Spiritspeaker Azun
''This troll priest speaks with the dead... twice.''

His deck is focused around completing the Awaken the Masters quest. His hero power lets all Deathrattle effects trigger twice.

!!Tad
''Look, this murloc just wants to fish, okay?''

He has no hand and never draws anything. His free hero power, however, lets him summon a random minion from his tiny deck, usually corresponding to his mana crystal count.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of his minions is a 4/1 Starving Crab that does 5 damage to him at the start of his turns. He even expresses [[OhCrap wordless panic]] when it gets fished out. Keep it alive and it will defeat him for you.
* RushBoss: Has a very small health pool, but pulls out strong minions for free. Kill him quickly before they defeat you.
* TheUnintelligible: As per murloc standard.

!!Thaddock the Thief
''One moment her minions are there... the next... gone!''

She uses a deck focused around the Caverns Below quest. Her hero power returns a friendly minion to her hand for 1 mana.

A kobold waxmancer. She can shape wax minions with her hero power, creating a 1/1 copy of any minion for 1 mana. If encountered at a later level, her hero power straight-up creates a copy of any minion without modifications, but also costs 3 mana.

A mighty kobold warrior. His hero power Recruits a minion for both players.

* TheBerserker: Described as such in his blurb.
* EveryoneJoinTheParty: He whips minions from both sides into a battle-rage.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: While he inevitably summons big minions from his own deck, he can end up doing the same thing for the player. A few lucky pulls and he loses as early as turn four.

! {{Final Boss}}es
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: The final bosses all have 70 health, ensuring you're in for a long fight even though your hero starts with 50 by the time you face them. They also start with 3 mana, giving them a hefty advantage and letting them abuse their hero powers (where necessary) more freely.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Again, they also have multiple copies of Looming Presence, which draws 3 cards and bestows 6 armor.

!!Azari, the Devourer
''The most terrible of demons is loose! And VERY hungry.''

An annihilan with a bottomless appetite. His free hero power removes the top 2 cards of the player's deck.

Azari isn't a collectible card, but he is obtained with the player first playing Rin, the First Disciple. The player then needs to cast a series of Seal spells, each summoning a bigger demon than the previous, before the fifth and final seal adds Azari to their hand. Azari is a 10-mana 10/10 that destroys the opponent's deck when played.

* OriginalGeneration: The Kobolds and Catacombs expansion is his debut into the Warcraft universe.

!! The Darkness
''There's a reason to always keep a light on down here.''

A dormant monstrosity of unknown origin. Its hero power summons a 5/5 Darkspawn for 0 mana. However, to counteract this, the player is given three Luminous Candles, which are 0-mana spells that can destroy all Darkspawns.

As a card, The Darkness is 4 mana minion that begins as an uninteractable Permanent on the board. It shuffles 3 Darkness Candles into the opponent's deck, which snuff out when drawn. Once all three have been snuffed, The Darkness Awakens. The Darkness is a 20/20 minion.
----

* DiscardAndDraw: Her deck is focused entirely on completing the Lakkari Sacrifice quest.

!! Bink the Burglar

A common bandit. His hero power allows him an extra temporary mana crystal each turn.
----

A mighty dragon at the bottom of the catacombs, who is very protective of his hoard. He beings the battle with five 0/8 Master Chests.

* TheBeastmaster: His hero power calls cards to him, most of which consist of beasts of beast synergy.
* SerialEscalation: If you let him snowball, his hero power rapidly gets out of control.

!! Gutmook
''This trogg elder and his minions flock towards sources of magic.''

A king trogg. His hero power is passive, and draws him a card whenever the player casts a spell, then reduces its cost to 1.

* MageKiller: He can pile up cheap cards against a spell-heavy deck. He also uses cards like the Stonesplinter Trogg and Burgly Bully to benefit from your spells even further.

!! Lava-Filled Chamber
''The kobolds attempted to board up this lava-filled chamber!''

A dangerous cavern. Its passive hero power deals 2 damage to any minion either player plays.

* AscendedMeme: It's represented by - what else - the art for Magma Rager. It doesn't actually play the minion itself, for [[TooDumbToLive obvious reasons]].
* LethalLavaLand: What the boss is meant to represent.
* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: Entering a chamber of lava deals 2 damage to you but nothing else.
* PlayingWithFire[=/=]MagmaMan: Its cards consist of fire and lava minions and spells.

''This kobold pirate's favorite move is chaaaarrge!''

* AttackAttackAttack: His main strategy, which is befitting a pirate deck, especially with that hero power.
* CaptainColorbeard

!! The Darkness
''There's a reason to always keep a light on down here.''

A dormant monstrosity of unknown origin. Its hero power summons a 5/5 Darkspawn for 0 mana. However, to counteract this, the player is given three Luminous Candles which can destroy all Darkspawns.

As a card, The Darkness is 4 mana minion that begins as an uninteractable Permanent on the board. It shuffles 3 Darkness Candles into the opponent's deck, which snuff out when drawn. Once all three have been snuffed, The Darkness Awakens. The Darkness is a 20/20 minion.

* AwakenTheSleepingGiant: Once the candles are out, all 20/20 of its stats wake up.
* CastingAShadow[=/=]PowerOfTheVoid: Natch, given the name. It uses cards like Twisting Nether and Shadow Bolt.
* EldritchAbomination: It's not clear ''what'' exactly this thing is. It's not a demon, and it doesn't look like an Old God creation. Whatever it is, it's massive, it's waiting in the dark, and [[ParanoiaFuel you can't stop it from coming]].
* LoopHoleAbuse: [[DevelopersForesight Averted.]] Trying to cheat the minion out (via Recruit or minions like Barnes) results in a 0/0 Token ''and no candles''. This is because its dormant state is an active effect, while the candles are a Battlecry.
* MookMaker: Its hero power spawns endless 5/5s for free. You have a lifeline, but once it's all used up, you'd better have a way to keep the rest in check...
* ShoutOut[=/=]MythologyGag: This is either a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Alewives#Dungeons_and_Dragons_sketch Dead Alewives Dungeons & Dragons skit]] or to Blizzard's own [[https://heroesofthestorm.gamepedia.com/Darkness running joke]] about "Darkness" calling people.

!! King Togwaggle
''Look out! He's loaded with loot from failed adventurers.''

The legendary king of the Kobolds. He's retained his kingship for many generations due to being smarter than the average kobold - he placed a lantern over his candle to stop rivals from snuffing it out. Inside his lantern lives Rakinishu, a tiny fire elemental - his "magic candle" that guides him. His hero power is Magic Candle, which finds one of his many collected treasures.

As a playable card, Togwaggle is a Neutral legendary that swaps you and your opponent's deck around, but also puts a King's Ransom in your opponent's hand to switch them back.

* TimeLimitBoss: [[spoiler: Her true nature. If A. F. Kay isn't beaten by turn 6, she'll suddenly realize that she's supposed to be playing the game, and will spam the board with 0-cost 8/8 minions, then refill her hand and do it again next turn. Not a single class in the game can weather this onslaught, so the only option is to kill her fast]].
