Since the employees of Smokywood Pastures make use of the mountain routes to transport their goods, they are often hindered by the Greench's annual awakening and lose some amount of their rations to his voracious appetite. As of , he is now the objective of the Feast of Winter Veil daily quest below. He currently stays in front of his cave instead of roaming. Most the time he will die quickly due to masses of players of both factions swarming him each time he spawns.

Gathering Production Secondary. Comment by Allakhazam there were rumors the spawn was broken. Comment by Allakhazam For those without coords: from the snowman and Growless Cave, follow the rocky trail west and north around the mountains. He spawns around the flat snowy area where you see the walls of the Ruins of Alterac. Bonus: there's also 3 "Holiday Snow" snowball spawn points in the area, so if you're there with friends, you can pelt each other while you wait!
Comment by Allakhazam i arrived there and there were around 9 allience there searching for him. I spoted the Greench by some miracle but i still had to speack to the snowman. The allies could only cry sniff sniff. First, the spawn timer is random. The other yetis are placeholders, as suggested earlier, so just kill everything in sight. It helps kill time too. It's random, but I think there's four or five definite places.
Again, the yetis look like placeholders, so he can probably spawn anywhere other yetis do. Group up for better chance of getting it, and to be nice to others, instead of being greedy and taking one kill for yourself. You're trying to kill the Greench, not be one! That, and you can spread people out over an area to tag him when he does spawn. I imagine that this is freaking hillarious on a PVP server, as someone else mentioned.
It's worth making a char on one just to bring along some popcorn and watch the camping fireworks! I haven't checked since my wireless mouse needs batteries and I'm running off to go get some more. Oh well, my tailor friend will love me for it. Comment by Allakhazam From what I can tell he respawns instead of Yeti's, which are kinda acting as a placeholder, I saw him spawn in 4 different areas all close to me while we were hunting for him Comment by Allakhazam What a easy quest. I was the only person in Alterac Mountains and i could easily and calmfully kill him.

Once again, strafe away this time from a snowman and you can completely avoid taking any damage. The more distance you have between the tree and the boss, the more time you will have to cast a heal or use a bandage when its called for.
Judging by the fact the I had a passive self heal along with small cooldowns, I would say this is also easily solo-able by a Death Knight tank and Paladin tank.
I'm not too sure how well Warrior passive healing is or if they only receive self healing from Enraged Regeneration, so I would not bet on their survival. Comment by A quick tankadin guide to solo the greench if you can't find a party or you want to prove your skills: Disclaimer: it takes long around 10 mins and it's quite boring. The Consecration will keep damaging him in the entire movement, while you'll be far away.
PS: this can be useful also as a general tactic for your party: just beware that the Greench's abilities will be cast against a random target! Comment by typomouse Just finished this fight with him. The trees and snowmen are easily dodge if you look for their shadows on the snow.
Most disappointed that there are no achievements or loot from him, but it was still an amusing fight; and I had fun thanking all the hordies who helped the lone alliance NE kill the thing. Comment by Quelandoris lot of health, only a incredibly well geared druid or maybe a pally can solo. Comment by Horven I love his Christmas themed attacks. I also love how he can make the Alliance and Horde forget their differences for a moment while they focus their attacks on him to save one of Great Father Winter's reindeer and and a sack full of presents.
Comment by Can this guy be lured to ironforge? Comment by if you wait around and see people in another group you can help and it counts for everyone. Comment by nobones Easily soloable with a BM hunter and a Turtle or other tenacity pet.
Keep mend pet ticking on your pet because he does take quite a bit of damage. Keep moving away from trees and snowmen.
Keep up the pew pew. It takes a little while, but not as long as most because you are a tank, healer and dps all rolled into one. Hunters ROCK! Added trick I've started doing is to move all my toons to the immediate vicinity.
Solo him with the hunter, then log out and in with a different toon, loot, rinse and repeat till all your toons have finished the requirement. Then go turn all of them back in.
I had plenty of time to get the quest requirements on my hunter and 5 additional toons. Good luck and happy hunting! MD tank pet, avoid the trees and keep Mend Pet up.
Comment by I can also confirm he can be solo'd. I use the extreme solo spec from The Hunters Union and the lowest my turtle got down to was 89k due to not staying on it constantly. For you hunters out there heres my tips on this solo. Never stay in a certain spot more than 3 - 5 secs if necessary.
If he spawns the snowman move to the other side of him. Rinse and repeat. Drakyn Ghostlands. Comment by he's a mean one, mr. Comment by Solo'd this guy on my blood DK with nearly no difficulty. So long as you avoid the snowmen and make sure to get away from the Christmas tree marking where he's going to do his big AoE, your blood shield should absorb I just went through my usual rotation of cooldowns and I'm barely tickled.
Only downside is it takes a long time to do it, but useful when no one else is around. Comment by Kurasu Shrink Heart is, indeed, applied to everyone within range, and 'everyone' includes pets and demons as well as players, unlike some damaging auras.
This is especially dangerous if you are using a pet to tank the boss, but can also come into it if the tank isn't moving much, but rather jumping in place to keep it from ticking.
On the other hand, pets are immune to Abominable Crush , so don't worry too much about pulling them out when he charges. Just let them keep the heat on and worry about yourself! Comment by tkoivuma Quest can still be completed if another faction kills, stolen treats can be looted and you can talk to reindeer still.
