Gruul the Dragonkiller is a massive gronn who resides in Blade's Edge Mountains in Outland. He rules the ogres that inhabit Outland, who worship him like a diety. Gruul is the main boss encounter in Gruul's Lair, a 25-player, level 70 raid instance in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
Biography
During the events of
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the black dragon
Deathwing traveled to Draenor (now Outland) to hide many unhatched dragon eggs. He left the eggs to be guarded by only a small number of dragons, believing they would not encounter much resistance from the planet's natives. However, the gronn and their ogre servants, led by Grull, destroyed the eggs and killed the black dragons defending them, impaling their corpses on the large natural spikes that fill Blade's Edge Mountains. During the events of The Burning Crusade, the Alliance and Horde find him to be a dangerous threat that must be stopped.
