The real name of Golemagg the Incinerator!

Hello everyone!

I want to tell you a real secret!
For many years, you thought the boss in the Molten Core dungeon had a real name - Golemagg the incinerator.

In fact, it is now absolutely clear that this is not true. I play on a Russian server with Russian localization. And only in the Russian translation does this boss have his real name - Gordok Mage-Lord ( Маг-лорд из клана Гордок). https://ru.classic.wowhead.com/npc=11988/маг-лорд-из-клана-гордок
Why am I sure that this is his real name? It is very simple. Almost every week, when I see him in the raid, I send a report to Blizzard about this, as I thought, error. And so many months have already passed, but nothing is being corrected. Of course, I cannot suggest that Blizzard is simply ignoring this. It’s impossible. Therefore, the only correct conclusion is that this is not a mistake. And this means that it has the wrong name on English-language servers. Therefore, you must send reports so that you correct his name. Sorry if I shocked you too much, but I think you should know the truth!

A similar situation with the boss in Stratholme - Timmy the Cruel. In fact, his name is just Tyler. https://ru.classic.wowhead.com/npc=10808/тайлер

That is funny,
What are the ogre mages in dm called then on russian client?

They have the same name - Gordok Mage-Lord. https://ru.classic.wowhead.com/npc=11444/маг-лорд-из-клана-гордок

Sounds to me like mc being a last minute project where kaplan just picked some already translated names from other mobs because they didnt have time or want to pay a translator to translate one name.

Interesting fact. The same post on Reddit has been deleted. :smiley:

They actually had extreme time pressure while designing MC. You really notice the difference when you compare it with other raids. Players still like it because of its unique design tho.

And he drops a MAGEblade so it makes sense now
