Gor'groth is an ogre necromancer and the leader of the Darkmaul ogres on Exile's Reach. He plans to conduct a ritual to resurrect the dragon Ravnyr; for this purpose, the Darkmaul and their allies abduct victims for sacrifice. They captured most of the first Alliance or Horde expedition to the island, which prompted a rescue expedition to be sent, led by Captain Garrick or Warlord Breka Grimaxe.
Gor'groth and Ravnyr are the final encounter in the Darkmaul Citadel dungeon.

Strategy overview
Gor'groth's fight is split into two phases: One where you face Gor'groth and another where you face Ravnyr. Gor'groth goes first, before sacrificing himself to raise Ravnyr. Once the dragon is downed, the encounter is over.
Phase One
Gor'groth begins by sending a few shadow bolts onto you. Stay close to Henry Garrick to get healed. At some point, Gor'groth will unleash Unstable Shadows, where the ground will be covered with circular purple shadows. Simply get out of the circle to avoid talking damage. DPS him down as quickly as possible.
Phase Two
At 40% health, Gor'groth sacrifices him in order to raise Ravnyr. His first ability is Necrotic Breath; simply avoid standing in the front cone of the caster. Wing Buffet is his other ability; to counter it, stand close to the boss and Henry so you don't get thrown a long-distance away. DPS him down as quickly as possible and you won.

Gor'groth drops several appropriate-level rare items.

Trivia
- During the early alpha, he went through three different models: Cho'gall's Cataclysm model, Imperator Mar'gok's model, and Mar'gok's model with the purple gems and shoulder tusks recolored orange.
- Gor'groth's live model is still heavily based on Mar'gok's, but with some textures altered and clothing elements simplified.
Patch changes
- Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Added.
