Onyxia Gets A Makeover For WoW's 5th Anniversary

Once the most-feared name in Azeroth, the Onyxia is making a comeback for World of Warcraft’s 5th anniversary, transforming into a bigger and badder brood mother than ever before. Once a level 60 40-man raid, Onyxia has become a bit of a joke over the years. Now that the level cap is 80, her head is showing up on giant pikes outside the capital cities four or five times a day. Hell, I’ve even turned her head in, and I am such a casual player that my mage wears khaki shorts. Patch 3.2.2 will change all of that, restoring the brood mother to her former glory in the form of a new 10-man model encounter and a [[link]] 25-man heroic raid. Long-time players will be thrilled to know that the new Onyxia will drop equipment that looks [[link]] the same as the loot from before, only with updated statistics to reflect the current level cap. On top of the revamped loot, there’s a small chance that a 310% speed flying mount will drop, modeled after [[link]] Onyxia herself. Further honoring our forgotten foe, players logging in during November’s 5th anniversary celebrations will score a mini Onyxia whelpling pet of their very own. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take any deep breaths. The Brood Mother Returns [World of Warcraft]
