Raiding with Leashes: Wrath of the Lick King Ability Throwbacks

Incursore animalista IV: L'ira del Re delle Mascotte
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 l'Osservatore
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
Testa di Mimiron
,
Val'anyr, Martello degli Antichi Re
,
Chele Dominate di Yogg-Saron
, achievements like
Gloria dell'incursore di Ulduar (25)
, 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
.
Furioso di Magma
- This pet is a mini-version of the awful exploding trash mobs
Furioso di Magma
before
Maestro della Forgia Ignis
! This fight was healing intense with lots of fire on the floor and the famous moment of being thrown into the molten fire pot (
Caldo mortale (10)
). The pet mimics these fiery perils with abilities such as
Vulcano
and
Ondata di Magma
.
Servitore Runaforgiato
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Golem Indurito
trash before Kolagarn and the Iron Council. Defeating the Iron Council on hardmode was needed to start the
Disco dati dell'Archivum
quest chain.
Furioso dell'Inverno
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Spettro dell'Inverno
trash before
Hodir
. This frosty encounter periodically froze players, dropped icicles, and applied
Freddo Pungente
to stationary players, reflected in the
Punta di Ghiaccio
and
Ghiaccio Scivoloso
abilities.
Ultracarro 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
Bombabot XE-321
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
.
Proto-Draghetto Ferroso
- This pet is a miniature
Scagliafusa
and shares the ability
Battito d'Ali
with the
Ulduar
boss.
Scagliafusa
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
Redini del Proto-Draco Ferroso
mount.
Cucciolo del Santuario
- This pet is a pet version of the
Avvistatrice del Santuario
adds summoned by
Auriaya
. The mobs were notoriously difficulty to deal with, using
Agguato
on players and dealing increased damage if not separated. Defeating Auriaya without killing any cats awards the
Gattara (25)
achievement.
Schioccafrusta
- This pet is similar to the
Pianta Sferzante Detonante
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
Essenza di Frondachiara
and
Essenza di Ramoduro
.
Tentacolo Inquietante
- This pet looks like the tentacles that spawn on the
Yogg-Saron
fight and also have the ability
Pazzia Inquietante
, 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
Primo del reame! Mietitore della Morte
achievement awarded the title.
Cosmoniglio
- This innocent little star bunny has two of
Algalon l'Osservatore
's most difficult abilities -
Pugno Fasico
and
Frantumazione Cosmica
. 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
Primo del reame! Difensore Celestiale
achievement awarded the title.
Trial of the Crusader
Ordalia dei Crociati
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
Lupo dell'Orda Rapido
and
Destriero dell'Alleanza Rapido
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:
Cavallo da Guerra Bianco del Crociato
and
Cavallo da Guerra Nero del Crociato
.
Learn more about the instance with SquireKel's guide
The Crusader's Coliseum
.
Magmalingua
- If
Acidalingua
and
Magmascaglia
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
Tossina Paralizzante
ability which applies a stun can only be cleared by the
Bile Bruciante
ability, which deals damage to players.
Brulicatore Nerubiano
- 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
Nerubiano
adds by placing
Permagelo
on the ground to kill them on, which prevented them from borrowing and also cancelled out
Spuntoni Inseguitori
in Phase 2.
Neboldo Randagio
- This pet is not included in the actual achievement because it has a low drop rate. It is a reference to the
Vassallo Neboldo
which would sit on player heads during
Gormok l'Impalatore
and cast silence via
Percosse
. They had to be killed as quickly as possible, unless you were going for the
Mal di schiena (25)
achievement.
Icecrown Citadel
Rocca della Corona di Ghiaccio
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
Tenebranima
was a major part of Icecrown Citadel; the player who finished the questline also obtained
Carillon di Sylvanas
,
Medaglione di Jaina
,
Insegna dell'Araldo della Luce
,
Dono di Muradin
, and
Redini del Nerodestriero Cremisi
. Farming Icecrown Citadel is still popular today for
Redini di Invincibile
and
Coccarda d'Eccellenza
.
Learn more about the instance with SquireKel's guide
Glory of the Icecrown Raider
.
Scheggia Ossea
- This mini
Sire Ossamorte
has the famous phrase
Tempesta d'Ossa
as 3 of his abilities - each version costs progressively more of your total health. Bonestorm was deadly if raid members who were
Spinoso
during the fight were not freed in time.
Fiatoputrido
- The baby version of
Panzaguasta
/
Facciamarcia
. These bosses were gross - lots of bile and vomit and gas during all phases of these fights! The
Melma
is a reference to Professor Putricide's important ability
Pozzanghera di Melma
. This pool would spread, dealing damage to players, and it was contained by having a player transform into a Muted Abomination and
Divora Melma
.
Ghoul Sgobbone
- Scores of these would spawn during the first phase of the
Re dei Lich
fight. You had to use these adds to bounce around the
Piaga Necrotica
during the fight in order to kill other, bigger adds - the Shambling Horror. Letting the plague stack very high was needed for
Quanto ho atteso questo momento (25)
.
Sangue Ribollente
- A reference to the ability on the Heroic version of
Araldo della Morte Faucisaure
,
Esplosione di Sangue
. 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.
Draghetto dall'Anima Infranta
- 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.
Anima Malvagia
- This pet looks like the ghosts summoned by
Spiriti Vili
during the
Re dei Lich
fight. When you were inside Frostmourne on the heroic version of this fight, these ghosts had to be killed and exploded upon death.
