Rothos is a large green dragon that was corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare.
History
Rothos first appeared as a hostile elite green drake patrolling Seradane in the Hinterlands. He was aided by various dragonkin and another drake, Dreamtracker. After the Cataclysm, Rothos disappeared from the area.
When the dragons from all dragonflights ventured to liberate the Wyrmrest Temple during the war against Deathwing, Rothos made brief appearance being nervous when Nozdormu and his bronze dragons were not present among them. Alexstrasza then sent Rothos to gather the dragons as the dragonqueen wanted to tell them something courageous.[1]
During the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, Rothos was corrupted by Xavius and left for the Emerald Nightmare guarding the Dragons of Nightmare. He was killed by the adventurers of the Horde and Alliance.
