This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.
Cenarius is an ancient demigod who fought alongside the Night Elves during the first invasion of the Burning Legion in War of the Ancients.
Thousands of years later, Cenarius would become aware of the presence of Clan Warsong when they cut down the trees of Ashenvale and killed many elves. When Cenarius attempted to kill the invaders, Grommash and his warriors drank from the tainted spring that had been corrupted by Mannoroth, which turned Grom and the orcs into fel orcs and succeeded in killing Cenarius and his sentries.
Cenarius had the unique class "Demigod".

- ^ Though the game states that "divine armor only takes damage from chaos attacks", standard attacks do manage to inflict a small amount of damage to Cenarius (damage reduced to 2% before applying reductions from armor). The Bladestorm ability does not have its damage reduced by divine armor, but it is on a somewhat long cooldown. Thus, it is possible to kill Cenarius without drinking from the corrupted Fountain of Life, by hitting him with a tremendous number of standard attacks quickly enough to exceed his high rate of regeneration (one way to do this is by luring him into attacking a massive number of towers). However, killing him this way does not allow you to diverge from the storyline; the level simply ends in victory and the cut scenes go on as if you did in fact drink from the fountain.
