You're a Mean One... (Alliance)

Recover the Stolen Treats and free Metzen the Reindeer after defeating the Abominable Greench, who is hiding out near Growless Cave in the Hillsbrad Foothills.

• Stolen Treats
• Free Metzen the Reindeer

A creature called "The Abominable Greench" stole our shipment of treats,. Be careful though! He's vicious and a bunch of those little green gnomes do his bidding!

You're gonna need some help in facing him. Rumor has it he's holding our treats and our beloved Metzen the Reindeer at Growless Cave in the Hillsbrad Foothills! Find the treats and bring them back before the celebration is ruined and all the children of Stormwind are disappointed!

<Name> - our Feast of Winter Veil will be ruined without those treats to restock! Graccu himself will miss out on sharing his delicious meat pies with all the good boys and girls this season...

You found it! You've saved Smokywood Pasture's Feast of Winter Veil!

You're a true hero to everyone here at Smokywood Pastures and to all the children, of course!

• Stolen Present (level 60)
• Stolen Gift (level 30-59)

Get to the Growless Cave in the Hillsbrad Foothills to find Metzen the Reindeer and a cave full of Stolen Treats. If the Abominable Greench is up, help kill it (it will take a group!):

The Greench is a boss-level yeti with the following abilities:

Let the tanks charge in first. Move away from thrown trees and snowmen, and keep moving when debuffed with Shrink Heart. Otherwise, just whittle its health down.

Once the yeti dies, the Rotten Little Helpers spook, dropping the Stolen Treats by the mouth of the cave:

• yell
• yell

Speak with Metzen the Reindeer:

• Around this reindeer's neck is a tack with the Smokeywood Pastures logo on it and a name - "Metzen".
• Metzen looks at you with sad, forlorn eyes. It is almost as if the reindeer has been immobilized by some unseen force.
• Metzen's eyes light up with reindeer joy.

The name of this quest is a line in the theme to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The enemy that is to be defeated, is indeed, a parody of the name "Grinch."

"You're a mean one, Mister Grinch."
