TheWoWDBThis guy literally looks like someone just hit the randomizer at character creation. His scales and armor clash, and the huge horns look silly with his snub little snout. No wonder he's pissy.

Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Scalecommander Sarkareth begins the fight with Oppressing Howl and attempts to obliterate players with Glittering Surge. When weakened, he draws upon the power of the Void to enhance his draconic powers, using Abyssal Breath and Ebon Might to summon and strengthen images of himself. When severely wounded, Sarkareth destroys the room to fully draw in powers of the Void and convert his abilities to their most powerful forms.
