'''Blackrock Caverns''' is the first of two new wings in [[Blackrock Spire]] introduced in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. It is designed as a 5-man instance for players level 80 to 83. It is a series of tunnels created by [[Twilight's Hammer clan]] in order to gather the remaining Ragnaros' minions and transport them back and forth to Mount Hyjal, as well as to perform horrific experiments conducted by the nihilistic cult in order to use the essence of the dragon in order to transform the worthy into dragonspawn. [[Finkle Einhorn]] and [[Raz the Crazed]] were enlisted by the [[Guardians of Hyjal]] to investigate the activity within the caverns. The forces here are led by the [[Ascendant Lord Obsidius]].

Players will need to be level 80, and have an average item level of 226 to use the [[Dungeon Finder]] for the instance. The entrance is just off of the main ring in [[Blackrock Mountain]] on the non-jumping path to Blackrock Spire. Head to the eastern side of the ring to see the summoning stone for Blackrock Spire and follow the path in toward that instance. As it turns north there is a blockade blocking the way. Just past the blockade, look right to see the instance entrance.
The '''mo'arg''' are a demonic race within the ranks of the [[Burning Legion]]. Tall and broad in stature, they are particularly proficient in hand-to-hand combat. Many mo'arg are tinkerers, scientists, blacksmiths and engineers among the ranks of the Legion and have 'improved' their own bodies with bionic parts. Some have gone so far with their enhancements that they resemble the [[abomination]]s of the [[Scourge]], with the only difference of their undead counterparts being that they are actually very clever (as well as very alive...). Nevertheless, other mo'arg are far less intelligent and used as front line soldiers. These grunts are commonly termed '[[felguard]]'.
 
   
  +
==Geography==
The [[gan'arg]] subrace bears little resemblance to the mo'arg mother race, being stunted and weak to the point that they seem far more similar to [[kobold]]s than they do the gargantuan demons of the Burning Legion. However, they are often just as intelligent and cunning as their mo'arg masters and should not be underestimated.

Location: Blackrock Mountain, Searing Gorge/Burning Steppes. Head towards the Blackrock Spire entrance portal, and take a right. Follow the hallway and take the first left. Follow this path until there’s a fork going left down a walkway, and straight upwards. Take a right down the path (or jump, for those daredevils out there) and take another right, and, Voila. Alternatively, take the Mole Machine from Finkle.

Some mo'arg seem to serve their own agenda, and are not hostile to players.

Nobody has ever seen Mo´arg with out armors or bionic parts. So its very likely that they are thin and weak (but intelligent) because they always use armors and robot-parts.
