Goblins steer the fates of the world in World of Warcraft. But do you even know the most powerful goblins of Azeroth?
Goblins are a race in World of Warcraft that mostly plays a minor role – at least in quests and stories. However, this hardly does the race justice, as the goblins have strong leaders and clever minds that often significantly shape the fate of Azeroth. Today, we take a look at the most powerful goblins that ever existed in the history of Warcraft.
When it comes to goblins, “most powerful” is a broad term and doesn’t necessarily refer to pure combat strength. Ingenuity or political skill can also define power.
Marin Noggenfogger
Okay, that’s enough. I’m putting a bounty on you. ‘Clicky McClicker’ sleeps with the fishes tonight.
Most people probably know Marin Noggenfogger – whether they play Classic or the modern World of Warcraft. Because Marin Noggenfogger is the inventor of the famous Noggenfogger Elixir.
Actually, Blizzard turned him into a bit of a “meme”. Because the Noggenfogger Elixir can reduce fall damage or turn the character into a skeleton, granting underwater breathing.
The story is that Noggenfogger became incredibly rich because all players bought the elixir like crazy.
That it is more than just a meme became clear at the latest with the expansion “Legion”. Because Marin Noggenfogger appears again there and plays an important part of the “Uncrowned” – that’s the secret organization of rogues (whose order hall) that jointly steer the fate of the world and attempt to eliminate outside influences across faction lines – such as agents of the Burning Legion.
Even though Marin has not appeared much lately, he is still the leader of Gadgetzan and a notorious goblin, who will surely intervene in the fate of Azeroth again sooner or later.
