All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsBreakfast Topic: Favorite Boss quotes
by Amanda Dean 
May 2nd 2008 at 8:00AM
Many times we find ourselves too busy as rush through dungeons and raids to truly appreciate the creativity that goes into them. I get a kick out of the amusing, over dramatic, and downright egotistical things that bosses say when facing their demise. Balthazaar of Etrigg began a thread in the official forums on favorite boss quotes.
The original poster mentioned that simply the word, "Die," as articulated by Gruul [in Gruul's Lair] as being a chilling statement. Nobor of Kel'Thuzad added "Anything Prince Malchezaar [in Karazhan] says. Because he's got the smoothest, sexiest voice in the game." There were several other notables.
- Winghong of Scarlet Crusade, [James Vishas inScarlet Monastery], "Naughty Secrets."
- Crits of Magtheridon, Lady Blaumeux (3rd Rider of the Apocalypse) [In Naxxramas], "The first kill goes to me! Anyone care to wager?"
- Anubie of Eonar, Selin Fireheart in Magister's Terrace, "Yes! I am a god!"
- Donvito of Gorgonnash, Shade of Aran [in Karazhan], "Where did you get that?! Did HE send you?"
- Kainas of Stormreaver, [Bill Lumbergh in Office Space] "So, Peter, what's happening? Aahh, now, are you going to go ahead and have those TPS reports for us this afternoon?"

@ Ragnaros
I heard that line quite a bit in my pre TBC days.

Emperor Vekni'lash: Your fate is sealed!
Ragnaros: BY FIRE BE PURGED
Anub'Rekhan: Shhh... it will all be over soon.
My favorite three on top of my head :)

Big Bad Wolf's Starting Dialogue, ending with "What phat lewts you have grandmother?"
"All the better to own you with!"
Aran is also great.
I also like the last boss in Mana Tombs, that starts talking as soon as you start clearng his room.

Nexus-Prince Shaffar. I love running that instance just to hear that cultured, elegant voice say that he will tend to me...personally. *rawrs*

Another vote for the Maiden of Virtue
"Impure thoughts lead to profane actions!"
"Nuh-uh-uhhh!"

-"Interrogator Vishas"
"Your friends will abandon you."
-C'Thun
"I've gone and made a mess"
"Time, never enough time."

i find aran incredibly tragic... every time i fight him it gives me a little twinge.
Fyxie May 2nd 2008 9:37AM
My personal fave is Van Cleef and his sexy SEXY voice... "lapdogs, all of you!"

My vote for the most annoying quote is from Selin Fireheart, in Magister's Terrace:
"Yes! I am a GOD!"
Being a warlock, I make it a point to cast Drain Soul at every kill, just so that I can reply:
"No. You are a soul shard."
Hugh "Nomad" Hancock May 2nd 2008 10:19AM
I am completely incapable of not replying (out loud, at the screen)
"No, you're a very naughty boy."
at that point.

I love Nexus-Prince Shaffar's dialogue, "What is this? You must forgive me, but I was not expecting company. As you can see, we are somewhat preoccupied right now. But no matter. As I am a gracious host, I will tend to you... personally." Refined, cultured, maybe a little bit camp, and absolutely willing to tear you to ribbons for having the gall to intrude on him.
Cynra May 2nd 2008 9:54AM
I love that man's voice. Cultured, refined, and just oozing with unadulterated sensuality. My old guild once confirmed that I start purring every time we step foot into that final room.
Silverrealm May 2nd 2008 10:32AM
lols... purring.... rawr
Lin May 2nd 2008 6:02PM
He can tend to me personally any time. :D

Every time Kazzak yells "All mortals shall perish" I want to yell back, "Uh, duh, that's the very nature of mortality, one day, we will die."

There are tons and tons of cool emotes/quotes in WoW, but based on theatricality, this would be my top 5:
1. "Perhaps I underestimated you. It would be unfair to make you fight all four Advisors at once, but...fair treatment was never shown to my people. I'm just returning the favor."
- Kael'thas Sunstrider
2. "FLAME! DEATH! DESTRUCTION! COWER MORTALS BEFORE THE WRATH OF LORD...."
- Vaelastrasz the Corrupted
3.
"Ah, lambs to the slaughter.
Look brother, fresh blood.
Join me brother, there is blood to be shed.
Oblivion will engulf you!
Like a fly in a web.
Your brash arrogance...
Vek'lor, I feel your pain!
My brother... NO!
Your fate is sealed!"
- Twin Emperors
4. "Yes... you stay with us now"
- Essence of Souls
5. "Prepare for the return of the ancient ones"
- Prophet Skeram
