His first heroic ability unleashes a Locust Swarm which deals damage to nearby foes and heals Anub'arak based on damage dealt. His basic abilities include Impale, a row of spikes that stuns all enemies in a line, Harden Carapace, which grants a small shield and a large amount of Spell Armor on a short cooldown, and Burrow Charge, tunneling in a direction before emerging to stun enemies nearby. His trait, Scarab Host, has him summon an attacking scarab every time he uses an ability. He did not serve out of loyalty however, and Anub'arak was quite happy to be rid of the Lich King's influence when adventurers slayed him during the events of Wrath of the Lich King.Īnub'arak is a melee Tank with strong disables and diving capability who especially excels at countering mages. Anub'arak served as Arthas' guide through the hostile lands of Northrend while the Lich King Ner'zhul was losing strength. Despite the powerful army he commanded, Anub'arak and many of his people were slain and resurrected as minions of the Scourge. This was until the War of the Spider, a conflict between the Nerubians and newly-born forces of the Lich King. Once the ruler of Azjol-Nerub, Anub'arak stood as the helm of one of the most ancient and indomitable kingdoms on Azeroth.
