Lore
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- The Beast is a boss found at The Furnace in Upper Blackrock Spire. It appears to be a
Core Hound that has been captured by the forces of Nefarian for use in his breeding experiments. - At some point before he is encountered by the party, the Beast swallowed Pip Quickwit, a gnomish adventurer who has survived in the Beast's stomach for an unspecified period of time. Skinning The Beast will free Pip Quickwit.
- "I've been stuck inside the belly of that thing for months! What day is it anyway?"
Dungeon Journal
- Nefarian's dragonkin take obscene delight in the barbaric torture of Ragnaros's captured minions. Despite suffering unimaginable agony, one core hound remained lucid enough to be retrained, and his ferocity makes him an ideal guard in the upper levels of Blackrock Spire.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Molten Core Tokens 2" series, for the card Core Rager.
- The Core Hound in The Beast's art is also used in the art for Core Hound Puppies and its summons.
