Type: Dragonkin

Respawn: Several days (exact timer unknown)
Added in: Patch 1.8.0

Overview

Ysera set the mightiest of her green dragons to guard the four portals between Azeroth and the Emerald Dream. The Nightmare has corrupted them, and Ysondre now emerges at one of the groves, attacking anyone nearby.

Abilities

Only Ysondre

Lightning Wave
A lightning bolt that jumps between up to 10 players, dealing more damage with each jump.
Summon Demented Druid Spirit
At 75%, 50% and 25% health: summons Demented Druid Spirits that cast Moonfire, Curse of Thorns and Silence. They have little health.

All four dragons

Noxious Breath
Nature damage in front of the dragon and a 30-second poison that stacks, dealing damage and adding 10 seconds to the victim's ability cooldowns.
Seeping Fog
Clouds of Dream Fog drift after random players and put anyone they touch to sleep.
Tail Sweep
Damages and knocks back everyone in a cone behind the dragon.
Mark of Nature
Players who die to the dragon are marked for 15 minutes. Rejoining the fight while marked puts them to sleep for two minutes.

Tactics

Spread out so Lightning Wave can't jump from player to player.
Kill the Demented Druid Spirits as soon as they appear.
Tank the dragon facing away from the raid, and keep everyone away from its tail.
Ranged players and healers spread out at range so one Dream Fog cloud can't catch several of them.
Bring a second tank: Noxious Breath slows the main tank's cooldowns, and a sleeping tank needs cover. Only the tanks should take the breath.
The dragons are immune to Nature damage.
