One of the factions that will be introduced in World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion is the Explorer's League. Bent on finding the truth behind the lineage of the Dwarven race and if they do have connections with the all-powerful titans, the faction has scoured the whole of Azeroth for information. Although they've gathered important facts and documents that would link Dwarves to the Titans, it was not until they reached Northrend that they struck gold. There, they found a race of long lost dwarves known as Iron Dwarves. It would seem that they would get the answer they need from their own ilk, but unfortunately, each Iron Dwarf was against the advances of the League. The reason for this is still unknown. However, if in case you meet this vicious and violent race, you should know everything you can about them. Below are some facts about the Iron Dwarves.

Where Are They Found?

The Iron Dwarves can be found in the Grizzly Hills. There, they have a capital city known as Thor Modan. They also are found in several other locations, listed below:

* At Baelgun's Excavation Site and the Giant's Run in the Howling Fjord
* In Dun Argol and Thor Modan in the Grizzly Hills
* In the Halls of Lightning, Halls of Stone, and Narvir's Cradle at the Storm Peaks

Be cautious once you see an Iron Dwarf. If they are violent against the good intentions of their own kind, what more of strangers?

How Do They Look Like?

From afar, you'll know it's an Iron Dwarf approaching you because of the blue lightning that courses under their metallic skin. Once you get near one, you'll notice that aside from the metallic skin and the blue lightning, they look similar to most dwarves. They range from three to almost five feet for males and around four feet for females. Like some dwarves, they too have runes of power etched on their metal skin. They wear thick, heavy armors of metal, as well as battleaxes and hammers of meta for weapons.

What Can They Do?

Aside from their dwarven strength (which we all know is formidable), an Iron Dwarf also has skills in making iron golems and even construct cities out of metal. Of course, their own armors and weapons are self-made. So add brutal strength with exceptional armor and possibly golem assitants, the Iron Dwarves are definitely enemies to watch out for.

Tips and Tactics:

As of now, I don't have enough knowledge about this race and their fighting technique to give you the customary tips and tactics. But what I can tell you though is that you should come into the battle ready. Make sure you are always in top form, may it be your gear or weapons. There's no telling what other trickes these dwarves have up their sleeves, but it's best to be ready for it.

Needless to say, in the myriad of creatures that are present in the World of Warcraft universe, there would always be some whose appearances are deceptive. Consider Exhibit A known as a Shoveltusk. This magnificent and noble creature will make its first appearance in the latest expansion of the hit MMORPG game. The expansion, known as Wrath of the Lich King, will not only showcase Shoveltusks as background creatures, but would actually be killable mobs. You might be wondering why, when if you look at the creatures, they seem harmless enough. Yes, they do have gigantic tusks and antlers protruding from their heads, but they don't seem pretty fierce, you seem to be thinking. Well, you're all sorts of wrong. Read on to know more about these creatures and why you should avoid them if you're not at top form.

Appearance:

As I mentioned above, a Shoveltusk is immediately recognizable by the huge, curving, and pronged antlers that seem to cover the top of its face and springs up above it, like a crown. From their jaw, two long, sharp tusks exude, reminiscent of this world's mammoths. The massive antlers are used to fight with the males over females or territory, while the husks are generally used to get food from the ground. A mane of fur covers their necks and they have a sleek, lean body covered in fine hair. Their sizes are not exactly huge, but there have been rumors that they could actually be used as mounts, especially by the Taunka and Iron Dwarf races. But overall, not really scary, right? If you compare Shoveltusks with creatures like the Murlocs, who are downright frightening in appearance, the Shoveltusks seem almost lovable. But wait, you don't know the best part yet!

Nature:

This is where the danger comes in when encountering a Shoveltusk. The creatures are fiercely territorial. If they are fond of using their antlers and their tusks against other males who invade on their territory, they are as eager to use it on adventurers, travelers, or just anyone unlucky enough to venture into their feeding grounds. They attack without hesitation and usually in groups. Imagine yourself the target of dozens of those huge antlers and you'll realize how dangerous these creatures actually are.

How to Fight Them:

If you really WANT to try your luck in facing these formidable creatures, then make sure that your armor and gear are all in top form. Never allow yourself to get cornered by them, as well as being in the center of an attack. Consider yourself a goner if that happens. Constant movement is the key here. By moving around, you will get to avoid the majority of the creature's attacks. You can then focus your own attacks one Shoveltusk at a time. Good luck!

Even the most experienced gamer would never underestimate the powers of the Lich King and his Scourge. If the Alliance and the Horde are teaming up to bring him down, the Lich King is definitely going to pull out all his cards and make sure that he stops attackers way before they even touch the Icecrown Citadel. Thus, the Lich King created monstrosities of such immense power that they are considered the Scourge's most destructive and most feared army. Known as a Plague Eruptor, it is capable of causing not only physical destruction, but plague contagion as well. If you happen to see on coming your way, you better have a good gameplan on how to attack them because it's not going to be easy to bring them down! Below are some details about this Undead monstrosity.

Why Are They Dangerous?

A Plague Eruptor is basically like a zombie. It is a reanimated corpse. The difference, however, is that unlike zombies who are weaker and a lot slower, Plague Eruptors are brutally strong and surprisingly fast, given their size and bulk. Not only that, they are violent in nature. Zombies might not attack right away, but don't expect the same treatment from these monsters. They would automatically treat anyone they meet or who impinges on their territory as enemies. So caution is much needed. As if strength and speed wasn't enough, there's one more weapon in this creature's arsenal that will definitely have you skirting them or trying to get far away from them. If you look at these creatures, you'll see that their bodies are covered in perhaps hundreds of oozing, throbbing pustules filled with greenish liquid. These are right on their skin and can explode at any time. Anyone near a Plague Eruptor would immediately be struck with the Lich King's plague if this happens.

Where are They Found?

Most of these monstrosities are found in the Court of Skulls in Dragonblight. Those of harder temperaments and even stronger resolve can kill the mobs of these creatures there. Some can be seen lurching around other areas in Northrend, but their highest concentration is in Dragonblight.

How Do I Fight Them?

I'm not much of a battle tactician and I don't have any experience with these creatures. However, by the looks of it, it would seem that the best tactic for this would be the spank and tank tactic. Attack with all your team's strength, then have your team's tanks take on the most damage, while ranged attackers still plow the monster with spells and arrows (if you have them). This way, a Plague Eruptor can only harm those nearest him (the Tank) and the rest of the team can concentrate on getting the creature down. However, if you factor in the fact that these creatures are of considerable speed, it's going to be a lot harder. Just make sure that you have a battle plan going on and that your gears and armors are all top-notch. Hopefully, you'll be fine.
