Around Azeroth: Dragons in odd places...

Reader Dave sends this shot our way -- a nice look at everyone's favorite dragon, Onyxia, sitting peacefully in the heart of Stormwind Keep. If you've done the quest line to attune yourself for the Onyxia raid, you're familiar with this sight, since one of the last steps of the chain involves a battle with Onyxia's minions in the keep. And occasionally the encounter bugs, leaving Onyxia hanging around far after the event is over, offering a perfect time to sit down and have a peaceful chat with the dragon.
Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world? Tell us about it by e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com! You can attach a picture file or send us a link to one -- and don't worry about formatting, we'll take care of that part.

"If you've done the quest line to attune yourself for the Onyxia raid"
Or, indeed, have ever signed up to play a battleground in Stormwind.
"Mornin', Bob."
"Mornin' Frank. Arathi Basin?"
"Naah, we'll get owned. WSG."
"Ayup".
"So, nice weather."
"Yup."
"And there's a huge dragon in the hall again."
"Yup."

"Think we're in for rain?"

Am I just missing the times when she turns into a full on Dragon? Every time I've done the event or seen it, she just kinda turns into a dragonkin.

Hugh, you are what they call on the series of tubes "teh winz"
Matt, I'm a n00b (playing for less than a year) but my understanding is that at some point they changed the encounter so she actually became a dragon. Whatever it was was before my time as I've never seen her dragonkin form.

Thank you! :)
My understanding is that she still becomes a dragon - just rather briefly, before buggering off and summoning a bunch of elite Dragonkin for Bolvar to beat into tiny pieces.
(Seriously - if you still have to do this quest, I recommend doing it solo. Turn up, see her turn into a dragon, stand back and watch why it's a Very Bad Idea to try to raid Stormwind. Hardcore lvl f*** pwnage from the man they call "Fordragon? Is that some kind of ... clue?")
