These guys have an INSANE aggro range, and if you have more than two on you, you are a dead man. I pulled three with charge once and couldn't get away because they had me locked with Knockdown.

Long have the Trogg been a thorn in the side of the Gnomes and Dwarves.

While the Rockjaw Skullthumper have taken over the above ground area at Gol'Bolar Quarry, the Rockjaw Bonesnapper have taken over most of the mine itself. It has been many a year since the Dwarves have worked this mine without the Trogg interfering. Those Blasted Troggs! requires you to kill 8 Rockjaw Bonesnapper.

There are 3 above ground, of which 2 guard the ramp into the quarry. There are another 19-20 spots in the cave that are shared with Rockjaw Skullthumper. Only the 2 spots at the ramp are guaranteed to spawn Rockjaw Bonesnapper. I think the one at the cave entrance always spawns Rockjaw Bonesnapper but every adventurer seems to kill him before I verify.

The Those Blasted Troggs! quest has been in the game since 2006 (or earlier), so in game time that would be about 40 years (or more). The Public Servant makes seem that this is more recent happening. My in-game guess is that, over the years, the Trogg have been driven out, the Dwarves get the mine running again, dig into another cave area, and the Trogg return in force.

Before Cataclysm, the Troggs were a lot more dangerous. With a hard hitting attack, wickedly large aggro range, and the ability to call for help, any adventurer venturing into the pit had to be aware and prepared. I personally remember the days that you would form a quick group to do this quest. Today, you can aggro several and easily survive as long as you are the right level.

Every so often, a non aggressive pack of Troggs will spawn near the cave entrance, walk up the ramp, and engage the Dwarves at the top. There were 2 Rockjaw Bonesnapper in this group. I never got to fight them, so they are not included in this run.
