This roster comes from the current game client's data files, so it is not a complete list of every NPC in the game - older world NPCs that are no longer in the modern client are absent.

Boss Encounter

Cho'gall appears as a raid or dungeon boss. See the encounter page for its instance.

Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for the Cho'gall encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Corrupted Blood

Exposure to several of Cho'gall's abilities increases a player's Corruption level. For each point of Corruption they have, players suffer 2% additional damage from Cho'gall's Corruption of the Old God ability.

Corruption: Accelerated

When Corrupted Blood reaches 25%, a player gains Corruption: Accelerated, which rapidly increases their Corruption level.

Corruption: Sickness

When Corrupted Blood reaches 50%, players periodically become violently ill. They vomit and inflict Shadow damage to players within a 5 yard long 20 degree cone in front of them. Players hit by this vile spew suffer increased Corruption.

Corruption: Malformation

When Corrupted Blood reaches 75%, the corruption is so thorough that a tentacle Malformation erupts from a player's back. The tentacle periodically casts Shadow Bolts at the player's allies, inflicting Shadow damage.

Corruption: Absolute

When Corrupted Blood reaches 100%, players fully transform into faceless horrors. While in this state players cannot be healed, but inflict 100% additional damage and cast spells instantly.

Stage One: Chaos Comes!

Conversion

Cho'gall beckons to the weak of mind, causing random players to abandon their loyalties and begin to Worship Cho'gall. Worshipping Cho'gall grants him one application of Twisted Devotion every 3 sec.

Twisted Devotion

Cho'gall gains strength from his converted followers, increasing his damage dealt by 10% for 15 sec. This effect stacks.

Fury of Cho'gall

Cho'gall blasts his current target, inflicting Shadow and Physical damage, and increasing Physical and Shadow damage taken by 20% for 1 min.

Flame's Orders

Cho'gall calls forth a Fire elemental and absorbs the elemental into his Twilight Hammer, empowering it with Flaming Destruction. On Heroic difficulty Cho'gall gains one additional stack of Flaming Destruction for each 10% health remaining on the elemental when it is absorbed.

Flaming Destruction

While Flame's Orders empowers Cho'gall's hammer, his melee attacks inflict additional Fire damage to his current target and splashes molten fire that creates a burning Blaze nearby.

Shadow's Orders

Cho'gall calls forth a Shadow elemental and absorbs the elemental into his Twilight Hammer, imbuing it with Empowered Shadows. On Heroic Difficulty Cho'gall gains one stack of Empowered Shadows for each 10% health remaining on the elemental when it is absorbed.

Empowered Shadows

While Shadow's Orders empowers Cho'gall's hammer, it emits bursts of nether power every 3 sec.

Summon Corrupting Adherent

Cho'gall summons a Corrupting Adherent from one of twilight portals at the sides of the room. On 25-player Heroic difficulty, Cho'gall activates both portals, summoning two Corrupting Adherents simultaneously.

Corrupting Adherent

Cho'gall summons these faceless minions of the Old Gods to hasten the doom of his foes.

Fester Blood

Cho'gall festers the blood of all Corrupting Adherents, causing pools of Spilled Blood of the Old God to form into animated oozes. Fester Blood also causes the dark blood of any living Corrupting Adherents to boil, causing the Festering Blood effect.

Festering Blood

Players damaged by this ability will gain Corruption.

Blood of the Old God

The Corrupting Adherents' blood congeals into numerous vile oozes, each of which fixates on a random player and moves towards them. The animated Blood of the Old God raises the Corruption level of any target they melee.

Stage Two: Come, Infinite Night!

When Cho'gall reaches 25% health, he calls upon the full powers of the Old Gods. He absorbs the dark energies of any remaining Corrupting Adherents and pools of Spilled Blood of the Old God, then transforms himself into a twisted creature.

Fury of Cho'gall

Cho'gall blasts his current target, inflicting Shadow and Physical damage, and increasing Physical and Shadow damage taken by 20% for 1 min.

Corruption of the Old God

Cho'gall fills the room with tendrils of shadowy corruption, inflicting Shadow damage every 2 sec to all players and gradually increasing their Corruption level. Players suffer 2% additional damage from Corruption of the Old God for each point of their Corruption.

Darkened Creations

Cho'gall causes tentacles to erupt from inky clouds on the ground.

Darkened Creation

Darkened Creations continually try to channel Debilitating Beam on a random player.
