Professor Putricide is a boss found in the Knights of the Frozen Throne mission. He is the second boss of the mission's Upper Reaches wing and fifth boss of the mission overall.

The encounter is in three phases, just like the World of Warcraft boss encounter. Each phase will have a different Hero Power

Starts at 30HP with 15 armor. Every time you destroy that 15 armour he "evolves" and goes to the next phase.

1st Phase: Passive hero power allows all Secrets to cost 0 mana...and he will play a lot of them.
2nd Phase: Passive hero power allows all Weapons to cost 1 mana. He will also summon  Festergut.
3rd Phase: Passive hero power makes all Cards cost 5 mana. He will also summon  Rotface.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Before match

The Lich King
Professor Putricide is my card draw engine. But all he draws is "Gas". I really dislike him.

Introduction

Professor Putricide
Good news, everyone! I've fixed the poison slime pipes.

Emote Response

Professor Putricide
That's not very nice.

 Growing Ooze

Professor Putricide
Great news, everyone! The slime is flowing again!

Equipping a weapon

Professor Putricide
I didn't know I even HAD one of these.
Oh, my.
So dangerous. So delightful!
Where did that come from?
Yes, that'll do.

Phase 2

Professor Putricide
Tentacles! Oh my – they do have a mind of their own don’t they?

 Festergut dies

Professor Putricide
Oh Festergut, you were always my favorite... next to Rotface.

Phase 3

Professor Putricide
Hmmm, interesting.

 Rotface dies

Professor Putricide
Not Rotface! What did he ever do to you!?

Player's cards

Professor Putricide
Ooze
Oooh, ooze!
 Mad Scientist
Have you been poaching my staff?
 Cloaked Huntress during Phase 1
Well, that seems superfluous.
 Eater of Secrets
No! My secrets! My life's work!
 Professor Putricide
Professor Putricide
Wah? There's that guy that I am!
 Professor Putricide
Good news... me!
Professor Putricide
That's not good news at all you be-tentacled doppelganger!
Ethereal
Never trust an ethereal. You can't see their faces!
 Power Word: Tentacles
Can I get one of those?
 Tentacles for Arms
That is a stylish choice of weapon.
 Mysterious Challenger
Nobody's more mysterious than me!
 Aviana during Phase 3
Your science is better than my science!
 Rotface
Professor Putricide
Rotface! How could you!?
Rotface
Rotface have NEEDS.
 The Lich King
Professor Putricide
Oh my, I didn't expect to see you here.
The Lich King
I'm a very hands-on manager.
Becoming Jaraxxus or a death knight
Waaahh? Did you just change your hair?

Death

Professor Putricide
Bad news, everyone...
The Lich King
Putricide, that was pathetic. You belong in a Hunter deck, not my citadel.

Defeat

The Lich King
Putricide, your deck is disgusting. I've underestimated you.

Professor Putricide is the Scourge genius behind the development of all forms of blight, plague, ooze, scourge, and death delivery. He is the final boss in the Plagueworks section of Icecrown Citadel, the first Icecrown wing to be unlocked. In order to reach his laboratory, players must first defeat Festergut and Rotface.
