Forum Post of the Day: Your favorite boss quote
Unlike boring trash mobs, bosses in World of Warcraft all have their interesting catchphrases, some more memorable than others. And over on the EU forums, poster Lindey is looking to figure out what other players think is the best boss quote in the game. At the top, so far? Molten Core's Ragnaros and Blackwing Lair's Vaelazstraz with their classic introductions:
Ragnaros: Too soon, you have awakened me to soon Executus! What is the meaning of this intrusion?
Vaelastraz: Too late... friends. Nefarius' corruption has taken hold. I cannot... control myself. I beg you Mortals, flee! Flee before I lose all sense of control. The Black Fire rages within my heart. I must release it! FLAME! DEATH! DESTRUCTION! COWER MORTALS BEFORE THE WRATH OF LORD....NO! I MUST FIGHT THIS!
But beyond Lindey's list of player favorites, the thread itself is a collection of some of the most entertaining dialog tidbits Blizzard's thrown into the game. Take a look for yourself!

My fav by far is Big Bad Wolf : "The better to Own you with"
Ryan Jun 12th 2007 2:35PM
Oh geez, there are a few clever ones...
In ZG:
Bloodlord: "Ding!"
Jin'do: "Grats!"
The SM torturer: "Naughty secrets!"
Of course, Live strat: "TIMMY!!!"
My favorite though would have to be the C'thun whispers in AQ40. I had NO idea they were coming, and the first time I heard "You...will... die" over my speakers I was seriously freaked.

I will never forget Ragnaros when he said "BY FIRE BE PURGE".

"Naughty Secrets!" -- Interrogater Vishas :D

Illidans: "You are not prepared!"
Pretty cool boss overall.
Steven Jun 12th 2007 2:41PM
"Go and hide in the emerald dream..and hope we never find you!"
General from AQ20 i think.

Meh,
Not that impressed with Ragnaros.
The kara bosses have some very memorable lines tho.
Yes @1, Big Bad Wolf is ownage.
"Run away little girl, run away!"
'The better to own you with."
Shade of Aran, is great. How he acts so offended and shocked that you enter his room, and before he AoEs, the way he says "Come Cloooser." (sp intentially incorrect) is pretty awesome.
Also love the way curator is done, with his friendly security system voice, coming from this giant supercharged being beating the crap out of the tank and his electric lights shocking the hell out of everything. Well done blizzard. Great Juxtapose.

So I am supposed to get money from a guy and I find a ghost. I talk to ghost and ask him for the money.
"He's already killed me, what more does he want?" I had to chuckle.
I also like how the Epoch Hunter talks smack in Old Hillsbrad.

Moroes: 'Oh dear, i've gone and made a mess'
That guy is classic, i love facing him just for the quotes. All others pale in comparison, although i agree Bug Bad Wolf is pretty good.

I love the two-headed ogre boss in the Shattered Halls, his lines are priceless.
"I'm Hungry!"
"You're always hungry, that's why we so fat!"
Dereck Jun 12th 2007 3:34PM
The one i love the most, and i constantly use with my group of friends wowers is the one that says the las boss of Sethek Halls:
"Triiiiinketsss"
His/Her voice is so funny...
Cort Jun 12th 2007 3:53PM
The Leper Gnome in Steamvaults...
"Mommy!"

Thermaplugg in Gnomeregan is great. The voice work is perfect.
"USURPERS! GNOMEREGAN IS MINE!!!"
Also, Anub'rekhan in Naxx has such a great, deep, creepy voice that it's a pity that so few people have heard it.
"Ahh... welcome to my parlor."
"I hear little hearts beating. Yesss... beating faster now. Soon the beating will stop."
"Where to go? What to do? So many choices that all end in pain, end in death."
"Which one shall I eat first? So difficult to choose... they all smell so delicious."
"Closer now... tasty morsels. I've been too long without food. Without blood to drink."
"Yes, run! It makes the blood pump faster!"

It isn't a boss, but the Wanton Hostess on the way to the Maiden of Virtue in Karazan has a fantastic monologue.
She talks about a "customer" who asked her to have a three-way with her imp, and according to her, "it wasn't half bad."
Brilliantly hysterical!

Grand Warlock Nethekurse...
"You want him??...Oh go ahead...I was gonna kill him anyway"

For a long while now, whenever we get a new player to the game that joins our guild, I rush at the chance to help them through their first instance.
In most cases, that's Dead Mines/Van Cleef.
It's not just because I'm a nice guy helping with guild relations. Oh, no. I love Mr. Smite.
"Now you're making me angry!"
"You landlubbers are tougher than i thought. I'll have to improvise!"
His distorted voice and Tauren good looks don't exactly fill me with fear, but he's clearly dedicated to his job.

@#12
You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO right.
By far the best boss lines belong to Anub'rekhan in Naxx.
I think you forgot one of my favorites though.
In that same creepy voice…
“Don’t worry… It will all be over soon..”
It is a shame all these guys have heard are MC and Kara quotes, there are some goodies out there.

I was chatting at work to a few people just last week about a few jobs we had to work on.
Person 1: "How about we get that stuff in next week?"
Person 2: "Too soon"
Me: "You have awakened me too soon, Executus."
*odd looks from the rest*
Me: *finally realises what I just said*

And the message that has traumatised many a seasoned player on the second boss of Shadow Labs:
"Time for Fun!"
CvijaFaQ Jun 12th 2007 6:13PM
Timmy! Definately
