Cenarius (tactics)

Cenarius is the sixth and penultimate boss of the Emerald Nightmare.

Adventure Guide
''The demigod Cenarius is the father of druidism in Azeroth, and one of Azeroth's oldest and most powerful protectors. His disturbing slumber within the groves of Val'sharah was the first sign of the depth of the growing threat from within the Nightmare. That dark power now has complete hold over him, and he may lie beyond hope of redemption.''

Overview
The fallen Cenarius periodically creates Nightmare Seeds, which germinate for a short duration and then summon an Ally of Nightmare that must be defeated. Malfurion aids in the battle and cleanses the Nightmare Seed with the largest number of nearby players, purifying that Ally so that it instead helps the raid.
