N'Zoth the Corruptor

N'Zoth the Corruptor is the last boss of Ny'alotha, the Waking City.

''From his titanforged prison deep beneath the waves, N'Zoth spent eons subtly spreading his influence across Azeroth. Now free from captivity, the Corruptor reveals his true form as he enacts his ultimate plan to make his vision of the Black Empire our new reality. If he is not stopped, all we have ever known will be remade in the image of his eternal madness.'' <!--
