Every expansion ofWorld of Warcrafthas had a crew of world bosses wandering its uninstanced zones for adventurers to vanquish and wrest valuable loot from. The War Within expansion is no different. Across the lands of Khaz Algar, four world bosses wander, awaiting the challenge of a good raid of adventurers.

Within each of the main zones of the expansion, one world boss lurks, each thematically suited to the zone they are found in. Should you seek out the treasures and renown that they hoard, you must unify with other adventurers, lest you be smashed beneath them.
