Kromog is a massive magnaron found inside the Blackrock Foundry. He serves as one of the raid's many bosses, and the final boss of the Black Forge wing.

Adventure Guide

The magnaron are mysterious in their ways, ancient and inscrutable. Miners excavating an expansion to the Foundry, in support of the Iron Horde's massive production needs, were horrified to unearth a chamber containing a living magnaron. To their astonishment, Kromog began to assist in their endeavors, and now uses his massive stone fists to hammer out the gigantic plates needed for the Iron Horde's dreadnaughts and siege machinery.

Objective of

•  Black Forge

Overview

The massive magnaron Kromog stands immobile overlooking a ledge as he assaults players with his fists and the very stone beneath them. Many of Kromog's mighty attacks create Reverberations, and at 30% remaining health, Kromog gains the effect of Frenzy.
