The Eye was named in honor of Kilrogg Deadeye, chieftain of the Bleeding Hollow clan.

Eye of Kilrogg is a warlock ability, learned at level 22 for 42.

It summons a green, disembodied, floating eye that can move around while floating a yard or so from the ground that gives the caster a view from the "eye". While the "eye" is active, the caster is effectively in a channeling trance, so any interruption will cancel the "eye". The eye only has a single point of health,^{[citation needed]}  so any attack will easily destroy it. The eye has a slow fall effect so it will not take any type of fall damage.

Most mobs will not attack the eye unless it's used to attack them first. Due to its low health, any mob will one shot the eye. If you use it to attack an instance boss, the boss may do some of their custom emotes used when you start a boss encounter, but the eye getting killed does not seem to aggro the boss onto the players.

The Eye can be used for tricky pulls.

Notes

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

• Strangely enough, the Eye of Kilrogg is immune to damage caused by lava, and can be used somewhat effectively to help find players who may have died while submerged in lava.
• Eye of Kilrogg has a less chance to aggro mobs, making it even more useful in instances.
• The eye also has a slow fall effect on it (since 2.0) allowing the warlock to view farther than before.
• The  [Glyph of Eye of Kilrogg] increases the movement speed of the eye by 50% and allows it to fly in outdoor areas where flying mounts are enabled. You can also fly with the Eye after activating this glyph, without ever buying a [Flight Master's License]
• If you are using the Scrolling Combat Text feature and are being damaged while in vision of the Eye of Kilrogg, you will see the damage scroll from the eye. This is a useful way to know to cancel the Eye and take care of the nuisance.

History

This spell was first seen in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. It was used by an ogre mage pretty much the same as it is now in WoW, except that it had a much greater speed, and the ability to fly (only ranged units could attack it). It was also possible to use it to have enemy computer controlled vessels destroy each other with friendly fire.

Trivia

While previously the Eye was stealthy, this feature has been removed. Previously the spell description read, "The eye is stealthy and quick, but very fragile." Now, it simply reads, "The eye moves quickly but is very fragile."
