LoreEdit

The Dragonmaws on Azeroth are now led by Chieftain Nek'rosh, son of Nekros Skullcrusher,^[2] former second-in-command to the chieftain Zuluhed the Whacked of the Dragonmaw clan years ago. Nekros used powerful magic to control the red dragons, but when that magic failed him, Nekros was eaten by the dragonqueen^[3][4] and his son has vowed revenge against the dragons who killed his father.^[2] The Dragonmaws were fiercely hunted for this; what few remained fled from Grim Batol and into the mountains east of Whelgar's Excavation Site.^[2]

Now they've regained strength, and have an encampment northeast of Menethil Harbor. Nek'rosh has built catapults and aims to lay siege to Menethil. And with the fighting in Dun Algaz, they would be effectively blocked from reinforcements.^[5]

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

With the Dragonmaw joining the Horde, it is possible that he survives and still leads the clan. However it is more likely that he is dead ending the hold Nekros and Zuluhed have held over the clan and allowing it to return to the old ways.
