They're pretty iconic, right? Immortalized on Hellfire Peninsula, brought back for the Legion invasions, and cast in a starring role for the Wrynn cinematic. I think a lot of us have fond memories about the first time we were surprised by one back in BC. Maybe we jumped out of our seats a little bit, mashed some random highly ineffectual buttons, and got stomped into that red clay. After we recovered, we had a good laugh about it.
I've seen a couple people argue recently that only idiots were ever surprised by the Fel Reaver. Have to admit, they don't seem very sneaky with all the noise they make and ground they shake. Hard to explain how it happened (more than once, for some of us) I've also seen some argue that dangerous mobs like this have no place in WoW.
So let's have a show of hands. For those of you who ever ventured there as a 58-60 first timer (overgeared and heirloomed alts don't really count), how many of you had at least one memorable encounter?
