Kommentar von Cyonisper

A level 5 dragon, asleep in a cave off the coast of Ahn'Qiraj.

Many folk seem to think this dragon is a homage too someone, sort of a memorial to "Andres"
Others have speculated that it might be part of a future quest; or a reference to something to come...

My money is on something put in place to confuse Data-miners.

Whatever it is, I feel it's safe to say that He is red, and roughly the same size as your average dragon or drake.

Update 2-2-2023:

Andrestrasz's original purpose has been lost to time, but that doesn't mean they'll never do something with him.

The following methods of attempting to elicit a response from Andrestrasz have had no effect.

My feeling is that this dragon is key to something big

Kommentar von 1051501

a Dragon sleeping is probably a hint for the emrald dream

the level 5 is maby for the 5th expansion

Kommentar von WynnPendragon

So, since we're all posting conspiracy theories...
-Strasz is, of course, the ending of male red dragon names, so we know this gent's gender. That leaves us with Andre, which, as someone posted above, could be a memorial. However, it is also an anagram of Ra-den...

Aufdeckung Did not show any results, I used it in every section of the cave.

Kommentar von 1126966

Just curious, was the cave always there or is the cave also new? I ask because adding an NPC to a cave is a lot easier than adding a cave to the known world, especially a cave that is unique (I do not recall ever seeing this kind of cave before - although it seems similar to the Sporeggar cave in Zangramarsh.) I am not saying they would not add a new cave system just to pay homage to someone, because it is possible.

Kommentar von 250173

The cave Andrestrasz is in was once part of the Tauren encampment, or at least very close to it, the encampment was removed awhile ago.

Kommentar von Whoisthiscook

@ choolip & sforzie: The whelp that hatched from "Rhea's" Egg IS Wrathion. EDIT: Yeah, I meant the BLACK egg that SURVIVED, not the RED egg that was destroyed by Deathwing..

Kommentar von Daviddicks

I think the reason why blizzard is addin things like this is to confuse players and it seems to work ...

Kommentar von tygrey

i opened a ticket about this, the response i got was similar to the ticket i opened about the crypt behind karazhan, talking about how they cannot reveal all the information to me but i was told it could be used in a future xpac

Kommentar von Marilana

We might have got an answer about this at Blizzcon 2013 if the attendees asked interesting questions to the devs instead of QQing over Mythic raids or asking lore questions with painfully obvious answers.

Kommentar von Andrestraz

Leave my wifu alone you human monsters! Blizzard add her because I have no gf.

Kommentar von Wulfrick

Interesting. I've never even known that cave existed today and lo and behold a dragon that seems to be a fairly recent addition to said cave.

There seems to be talk of either a memorial addition or a possible heads up to a quest makeover of Silithus which was rumored in the Cata time frame but abandoned (or shelved).

Kommentar von Corveroth

While not yet totally confirmed, word from the Blues is that this fella is likely a tribute to someone's kid.

Dave Maldonado

I'd bet $20 it's a homage to someone's 5 yr old named Andre but would have to dig into data to find out for sure.

Kommentar von Bagheera

I took a trip back to this cave today for a bit of nostalgia. I was surprised to find this little addition sleeping comfortably inside. Tried poking him and even sleeping next to him but no reaction. I then entered the cave as a ghost to which when I jumped down to andresztraz he phased out/disappeared.

Took a walk round and found nothing else. Ran back out and back in to which I saw him sleeping and then phase out once more. When I res'ed there was no such phasing issue.
Why I couldn't see him whilst dead could raise some interesting ideas varying from;
Why can't I see this aspect of life while dead? Is it because he would no longer be able to help me? I can see other mobs but not this one. Is it lore? Or... is it just a phasing issue?

I've read some suggestions about him being a possible Emerald Dream Easter egg and whilst it would be nice, we have to remember he is an aspect of the red dragon flight. However whose son he is, who knows!

Maybe he will be apart of a scenario or something to do with an Ahn'Qiraj/Silithus make-over. Biding his time waiting for something that will happen in silithus with regards maybe to what happened in the War of the Shifting Sands. (And/or obviously a group of heroes to awaken/help him :p)

Or it could just be homage to someones kid, but sometimes it's nice to guess otherwise! :D

Kommentar von Kitsunekami

Hello everyone=)

when i was bored i was sitting once again in that Cave with Andrestraz and wondert why he is there...so ...i thought well...can not hurt anyone to ask a GM again about that Dragon and i got this response:

Hey there!

I've just received your ticket concerning Andrestrasz. I'm really sorry I wasn't able to chat with you in person about this, but since you provided enough information about the issue in your ticket, I was still able to check into this for you! :)

We don't actually have any specific details about why the NPC is there, but this isn't a major lore figure at all. It appears to have been added to fill up space in a pretty dead area. ^.^

If you have any further questions or concerns about this, please let us know and we'll be happy to investigate further!

i guess they really jjust filled that up for fun-.- maybde they did the same with that Goofy Fairy Dragon Circle in Tirisfal Glades ...
sigh

Kommentar von 1366696

The cave was definitely empty before. I discovered this cave back when Uldum first opened . There was nothing there then. I have checked several times and the entire cave has been empty every time, so this was a surprise to see it in use by a lvl 5 sleeping baby drake . Not sure what relevance this dragon has in game. But it peaks interest for sure. Its nice to see that blizzard adds things to the game for people to explore. You get no discovery for finding this little guy and no quests but the reward is in finding it for your self. He can't be attacked and will not attack . Who knows what this npc will have in store for us in the future.
I think the point Blizzard is trying to make is, To explore every area in the game and you will find cool things. It makes the developers feel useful.

Kommentar von fixiie

this is very interesting..

Kommentar von polyrhythm

Just want to point out that, although Andrestrasz is still "sleeping," he is now standing up, since patch 7.2.5 was implemented. At least, that's how he is appearing to me.

EDIT: 1 week later... Well, now he's laying back down. But at least we've seen some change in him now.

Kommentar von quixui

using the toy yellow conservatory scroll makes him stand up. there are 2 more color conservatory scrolls i dont have, if any1 has all 3 test ?

Kommentar von Alisaunder

There are skeletons scattered throughout the lower cave area, humanlike but with very long incisors, too many teeth and only one nasal passage. All the skulls have a strange, dark mark on their forehead to the top of the skull.

Also today, November 11, 2017, the dragonet is not asleep. His eye is open but he doesn't react to stimuli. ]

I submitted a screenshot of the inhuman skulls.

Kommentar von Blunttman

No change from current patch, thought he might have awoken from the commotion but nope.

Kommentar von SlammaJamma

I was able to get Andrestrasz to stand up, although he does keep snoozing away

The screenshots are on Imgur as Wowhead didn't approve them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Darkmoon Whistle seems to make him shake his head for a moment, but that's about it for me thus far.

Kommentar von TabiiKat

Has anyone tried going here at level 5? Also, I keep seeing a slight purple glow...is that the ground or part of him?

Kommentar von Daviddicks

wait why is every comment on here suddendly on zero rating? is this some bored people disliking comments to 0 or will there be some bigger role now for the dragon, with the possibility of dragon islands in the future and they reset the ratings , is this the old gods work ?

Kommentar von Nealio

This dragon is now level 30 and still sleeping. Wish I could level in my sleep.

Kommentar von Belazriel

Was taken to this dragon by Portal to the Unknown drop from an Anima Hoard in Torghast on the 9.1 PTR. Ended the run, no soul ash, no soul cinders. Dumped me in a cave. 0/10 Would not recommend.

Kommentar von dadstiac

The cave this NPC is in now has a use in Shadowlands.. an in game toy now gives you an anima cell called Portal To The Unknown. when used it portal you to this NPC's Cave. I do not know if there are multiple random destination or not, as i have only encounter the tow once.I do not remember the name of the Toy.

Kommentar von Faux1919

If this is in classic wow. Which I believe it is. Then has anyone tried corrupted ashbringer?

Kommentar von DaemoniKira

Has anyone tried using Irrwisch in der Flasche and/or Gelbe Konservatoriumsschriftrolle (two toys that apparently cause him to stand up, however still with "zzz" animation) on him directly after taking the Portal ins Unbekannte offered by Experimentelle Animazelle, if the portal dumps them there? (This seems too RNG for my taste, though, seeing as Portal ins Unbekannte has quite a few different places it can dump a curious/bored player.)

I like this possibility more, and got the idea from user Narniis's reply to a down-rated comment: Perhaps he can be killed if the player is able to turn themselves hostile?

1) Rudely emoting Königin Azshara in The Eternal Palace grants a debuff Abscheu der Königin that turns you hostile to everything, but it only lasts 60 seconds, if I'm not mistaken. If someone were to get a Portal ins Unbekannte from Experimentelle Animazelle, get debuffed & immediately port to this cave, I wonder if he could he be killed? (More info about the Azshara /emote Easter Eggs; she has different reactions/punishments to different emotes!)

2) Alternatively, removing the possibility of Experimentelle Animazelle being involved entirely: A Vulpera could Lager aufschlagen next to Andrestrasz, go heckle Königin Azshara, and then immediately Zurück zum Lager and see if Andrestrasz is attackable. This Vulpera could also even try testing Irrwisch in der Flasche and/or Gelbe Konservatoriumsschriftrolle while hostile.

3) N'lyeth, Splitter von N'Zoth turns players Shath'Yar --breaking factions to serve only N'Zoth-- and hostile to absolutely everyone. Can someone who has this item try using it near Andrestrasz and see if they can attack/kill him? I wish I could test this one; I want this toy so much! Argh!

Just a few ideas. It's certainly possible that this NPC is just there as a tribute to an IRL person. But this gives us ~~stubborn~~ insistent lot something to do! :D

Kommentar von Moonfaxx

From Wowpedia:

Andrestrasz is a sleeping red dragon found in a cave on the southern coast of Ahn'Qiraj: The Fallen Kingdom.

After the Fourth War, Rexxar tracked him and with Zekhan passed by the empty Oceanmane Village and entered Andrestrasz's lair, as the mok'nathal wanted to follow up on rumors of the dragon. Perhaps bored and lonely, Andrestrasz let them live, and Rexxar asked him why he stayed in the village. The dragon insisted they call him Andre, and responded that he couldn't rejoin the red dragonflight until his old Oceanmane friend returned from his hunt, even though it was clear that the tauren brave wouldn't return. Zekhan promised Andre to visit him soon, and the dragon promised he won't roast him the next time.

Kommentar von EliTheArcher

Wondering a bit about this little guy with what we now know about the new expansion… maybe as dragonflight gets closer he’ll become more than an easter egg.

Kommentar von Nexom

9.2.5, stopped by hoping something would be happening now we know the next expansion is Dragonflight.

I'm hoping if we call back by 10.0 he'll of got the call to return to the dragon isle and be an easter egg there or be awake and have some dialogue. Time will tell :)

Kommentar von 910590

I waked him up with Meerah's Jukebox Meerahs Jukebox

Kommentar von DespairOfStars

i came here after watching seeing a video with him in it. I'm thinking that he could possibly come back in Dragonflight but i am not sure

Kommentar von Jeolene

Can confirm Meerahs Jukebox "wakes him up". He doesn't actually wake up, he just stands there with ZZZ's floating above him. Must be a form of sleepwalking... standing.

He doesn't do anything, you can't talk to him, he doesn't say anything, he just stands there with ZZZZ's still floating above his head. Must have something to do with the radio's ability to agro mobs.

Update - 11/21/22 - First week of DF pre-patch and he's still there, still sleeping. Kinda figured he would be since we're not officially IN the new expansion yet, but blizz does sometimes like to do things off schedule. I am highly doubtful they will do something with him.

Kommentar von Zeratul37

This little guy is all grown up now! He is the one who teaches you Dragonriding :)

Kommentar von Corveroth

Andrestrasz's original purpose has been lost to time, but that doesn't mean they'll never do something with him.

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Had the thought to check to see if he was still there tonight, and yup. He is. Sleeping through yet another expansion, especially one so important to dragons as Dragonflight...

Kommentar von Guntuan

Lord Andestraz, the one who narrates the Dragon Racing World Quests, is most likely an easter egg referencing this NPC. Maybe his father? Maybe the Missing R in Lord Andestraz's name is a clue to a long hidden secret in WoW? Who knows! I really hope Blizz touches on this at the end of Dragonflight in SOME way. Even as a secret quest. Its quite possible with Kalimdor and The Eastern Kingdoms getting a facelift that we may get some funny update where we wake him up and he realizes he's late to the call summoning his return to The Dragon Isles. Maybe we will fins him sleeping in the Emerald Dream? Until then, we will all just have to wonder why this dragon has been asleep with no context for 20 years, only to be awoken slightly for a short period of time after playing a BFA toy Meerah's Jukebox. Why? What does it mean? You be the judge.

Kommentar von Kilrathi3

got a yawn out of it

Stands up for
