Fel Reavers are level 70 elite fel reavers that can be found patrolling around Hellfire Peninsula.
While questing in Hellfire Peninsula, it's quite common to have one of these giant engines of destruction sneak up behind you. If your screen starts shaking and you hear a noise somewhere between a steam engine and a roaring beast, find shelter! These towering behemoths, luckily, have a small aggro radius for a Lv. 70 elite.

Tactics
A Fel Reaver can be downed by a three man level 70 party composed of a tank, a healer, and a DPSer - however with proper gear and/or a pet, it's soloable and has been soloed without NPC help as far as at least January 2008 [1].
While it does take a while, the damage output of a Fel Reaver is comparable to that of any random 70 elite and completely focused on the tank (in other words, surprisingly low for something of this size). As of version 2.1.0, stealthed rogues and druids within the ground-shaking range of the Reaver, even if outside aggro range, lose stealth, seemingly with each shake/roar.
To obtain the Key for Shattered Halls, you must kill a Fel Reaver and forge the key in its fiery carcass. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOOT ANY QUEST ITEM FROM ITS CORPSE. Just use the quest item [Unfired Key Mold] at its corpse[(no matter who killed it).
A Fel Reaver may also be pulled while just northeast of Thrallmar. If kited to the wrecked caravan just outside of Thrallmar, after which the player drops aggro through a skill such as Ice Block or Feign Death, the guards will pick up aggro on the Fel Reaver, and eventually kill it, allowing you to solo this quest with relative ease.
The Bear Reaver
In the patch applied to the beta server on the 3rd of November 2006 the model used by the Fel Reaver which patrols Hellfire Peninsula (others seem unaffected) was accidentally replaced with a black bear. The hilarity which ensued until the next patch was epic in proportions. The screen still rumbled as it approached, and it still sounded like a giant train, as well as retaining the power to annihilate anyone in 1-2 swings, but... it just looked so cuddly! Bear puns ran rampant and Hellfire Peninsula's general channel verged on total collapse!
Even before the change the Reaver was a menace to unwary players, but this has added a new level of terror to an already overwhelming foe. Formerly, the Fel Reaver, being a good five stories tall, was visible from a fair distance away and easily avoidable to anyone aware of the danger. Now, however, the first warning of its presence is the terrible rumbling of its footsteps and the tortured metallic scream which precedes it. Many heroes have fallen to this new menace, frozen in panic as they try to determine which way to flee. Truly, our greatest enemy is upon us.
Notes
- Fel Reaver used to be controllable via Gnomish Universal Remote, but was made immune to it in a later patch.
