When It Entered the Game Data
This title is not in the oldest game build we hold. It first appears in build 12.1.0.69027, which we mined on 5 August 2026, so it was added to the client while we were watching rather than shipping with the expansion.
The same build brought 8 other titles into the data: Venomous Gladiator, Venomous Legend, Venomous Marshal, Venomous Warlord, Snake Eater, Fabled Vanquisher of Azta'rec, the Cursebreaker, Hash'ura of Zul'jarra.
