Soggoth the Slitherer is the name of the slain tentacled creature, a minion of the Old Gods, at the Master's Glaive in Darkshore.
According to Archaeologist Groff, the Master's Glaive was the site of an ancient battle. The titans sent twenty of their stone giants against Soggoth. Of those twenty giants, only one survived. The tablets say that Kronn, the largest of the stone giants, allowed himself to be entangled by Soggoth's tendrils -- just long enough to be lifted close enough to the creature's skull and within reach of Kronn's mighty sword.
Eventually phasing content reveals a level 20 elite called Avatar of Soggoth.
Trivia
- He is called "Herald of the Old Gods" by Thalya the Voidcaller.
Namesake
- Judging by similarities in name, he is possibly inspired by Yog-Sothoth, as is Yogg-Saron.
- It is also possible that the name comes from shoggoths, which are shape-shifting blob-like creatures. Shoggoths were created by the Elder Things in the Lovecraft Mythos to serve as slaves for construction, thus created to serve/work for the Old Ones in Warcraft.
