World
The Burning Crusade
will introduce a
whole new world and
many new dungeons to
the game. A
multitude of
strange, wondrous
and terrifying
creatures inhabit
these wild, untamed
lands. This page
contains a few of
the many new
monsters that make
up the vast and
varied bestiary of
the Burning Crusade.
From arcane thieves
to savage demigods,
from nightmares of
an ancient past to
magnificent beasts
never seen before,
they all can be
discovered in
Outland and the
still unexplored
lands of Azeroth.
When Sargeras
descended upon the
eredar's homeworld,
a race of sentient
energy beings – the
naaru – helped a
small band of eredar
to escape the dark
titan's corruption.
Soon the eredar
refugees began
calling themselves
the draenei, or
"exiled ones". Moved
by the draenei's
courage, the naaru
blessed them with
Light-given
knowledge and power.
Ultimately the
benevolent naaru
hoped to unite all
who opposed the
Burning Legion and
forge these heroes
into a single
unstoppable army of
the Light. In
pursuit of that
goal, the naaru have
recently traveled to
Outland in a
dimensional fortress
known as Tempest
Keep. Most of the
naaru disembarked to
reconnoiter the
ravaged land. In
their absence, an
army of blood elves
led by Prince
Kael'thas Sunstrider
overran the keep and
took its sole
remaining guardian
hostage. With
Tempest Keep in
blood elf hands, the
naaru find
themselves stranded
in Outland, facing a
precarious future.
