| − | Attacks which interrupt the spellcasting of NPCs such as the rogue's [[Kick]], the shaman's [[Earth Shock]], and the warrior's [[Shield Bash]] are also effective against these lizards. When you see the lightning building up in its mouth, hit it with the counter to casting used by your class and you won't have to worry about getting hit by any lightning bolts... you'll only have to worry about being trampled, gored, or crushed by a huge and irate reptile. |

||
| − | In ''[[Warcraft III]]'', thunder lizards apppeared in a variety of forms, including storm wyrms and lightning lizards. Rather than shooting lightning from their horns, they shot it from their mouths. The salamanders and thunder lizards looked very similar, indicating that they are, perhaps, related somehow, as one or the other was a simple reskin of the first. |

| − | ==Thunder Ridge== |
||
| − | [[Thunder Ridge]] holds a massive amount of thunder lizards, and have already appeared in ''[[The Frozen Throne]]'' bonus campaign (starring [[Rexxar]]). In ''Warcraft III'', Thunder Ridge thunder lizards were green, but in ''World of Warcraft'' they are red-skinned. |

||
| − | Spikes in the back of thunder lizards are similar to [[stegodon]] ones; but where the stegodon spikes probably serve to help regulate the body temperature (in a similar way that those of the real-life Stegosaurus supossedly did), the use of the thunders lizard ones are unknown. They may be used to channel electricity. |

Revision as of 15:09, 7 July 2011
NOTE: This is not an idea for a future expansion, but rather a patch that would be awesome to do in Cataclysm.
When Deathwing returned to Azeroth, the whole world was reforged in molten flame. And Northrend was affected as well. The Destroyer appeared in Northrend's frozen skies and reshaped the land as well. Now his agents zealously patrol the land, seeking to fulfill their master's vision of death and destruction.
