I say the Worgen are the best starting zone mob. The whole thing feels like a horror movie, you kill them, go into a last stand and then... YOU REALISE YOU HAVE BECOME A MONSTER! Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
I was in middle school. Didn’t realize it was that long ago... playing on my dk. Got the minizep. Christmas in ironforge. ... but... then I realized just now how long ago that was... now I’m depressed.
The lore reason behind quillboar always hanging around those thorns is because the Boar Ancient, Agamaggan, the biggest and one of the oldest Wild Gods, was covered in huge thorny brambles. He fought the Burning Legion in the War of the Ancients, finally falling in battle near present day Durotar. The quillboar originated from his life force and they believe those massive thorns to have grown from where the mighty Ancient's blood was spilled.
The "twitch" that the raptors do is a Jurassic Park reference. The Velociraptors in the movie do this and in the kitchen scene their talons clicking on the floor are used to create tension. In WoW, you can't hear that, but the Devs probably thought people would remember the scene and provide their own thrills, through their memories :)

Those familiars were little bastards before the revamp. They had a large agro range, very close spawn points in the cave and those fireballs hurt a lot. It was almost a guarantee that you would die if you tried to solo the totally unskippable cave quests.
It wasn't that hard, it was all positioning and patience, recklessness got you killed in any zone. But i get your point, those (B)oneles goblins were really dangerous for their level.
I believe the Quilboar cultivate the spiky plants/craul because they live in and around them, use them for protection, etc. They also see it as a manifestation or inheritance after their dead Wildgod, Agamaggan, who died during the War of the Ancients, and spawned the craul as well as the quilboar race. NOW YOU KNOW!
Enthused Norseman their Enchanted Thorn seeds that their Shaman bring with them whenever they come into new lands it's actually given in one of the quests that you can read in the tauren starting zone
I like the Kul Tiras Marine. (lvl 6-7) it has a charge attack that does 500% normal damage so it opens for 40% of your health. If you aggro 2 of them, you can't even run away from full health.
Or MAYBE...... pointless Skeletons. (the game playing ones previously mentioned, Skeleton couple laying in a bed is some Inn, and other random skeletons in dungeons, cities, ocean, odd places, etc. you get the idea. Okay? okay.....
My number one is grells in the night elf starting zone. I first made a druid and I was fascinated with them. Other honorable mentions are of course trogs, trolls and boars and also wolfs the defiace and mana wyrms. Oh and those blob things the dreanai fight.
Idk if someone commented this before, but the quilboars brambles were originally from the blood of the ancient boar God. After that, I'm not sure, but I think they have special shaman/Druid guys to help grow them.
Originally those spiky plants grew from where agamaggan's blood had been spilled during the war of the ancients (hence why theres so many in RFK/RFD because thats where he was killed) altho in mulgore those are new, so i assume they also grow them.
The thorns grow where Agamaggan's blood dropped in the War of the Ancients! Agamaggan was slain in the land currently known as the Barrens, near the Field of Giants. The Quilboar believe that wherever Agamaggan’s blood fell, the land grew the thick thorn vines that characterized him. The blood spilled also created red gems called Blood Shards.
You should do another one of these! like Pointless top ten retextures to look forward to in BFA or Pointless top ten things vanilla players complain about!
Lore says the thorns grew from where Agammand's blood pooled on the ground after he was killed during the War of the Ancients when the Legion first invaded.
Those Thorns are the blood of a wild god named Agamaggan, Who died during the War of the ancients. When he died, his blood was spilled across Kalimdor, and from his blood, those thorns started growing. And there ya go, a little lore lesson
I haven't played this game in so many years! Think I only played a bit after Burning Crusade came out, but all of Crendors WoW videos make me want to play a bit!
I read the title as "Pointless Top 10: STARING Mobs in World of Warcraft." Needless to say, I was confused for the first 2 minutes of the video before I realized it said "Starting Mobs."
*back then in a Blizz design team meeting* ''- ...so they're like small trolls but uglier and retarded. - Yep. - So how should we call them? - I dunno, troggs?. *everyone laughs hysterically* - Troggs it is.''
The shaman quilboar bring the thorn seeds with them in order to grow the Thorns wherever they go. The Thorns of course strangle the land and turn it into a more desolate and habitable environment for the quilboar. It's in one of these Quest texts for the tauren starting zone
For me it was furbolgs. The first character I really started leveling was a night elf rogue and I would get lost in those damn furbolg tunnels. I mean actually lost, at one point I was going to give up and create a new character.
Sometimes youtube findsu a video from 8 yo. And u realize u havent seen this one back when u were actively watching the channel. Sometimes i appreciate youtube more than i usually do.
your first charcter is a dwarf hunter but you said you had a raptor as a first pet. wich means you either didn't get the poor dwarf to level 10 or you were poor as i was. btw those ice troll (cool trolls xD... I HAD TO SAY IT!!) were the reason you propably mained horde. you should thank them.
1. i said pointless not useless 2. yes you are in desolace and lets say wow has currently 10million active accounts which is a fairly low estimate. of those 10 million lets say there are 5million ppl who level alts regularly and although that might be a bit high i still go with it because alot of ppl check out the new leveling currently. of those 5 millions lets say there is are 2 million ppl leveling right now and id say from those 2 million ppl leveling right now there are around 1 million ppl at a level where they could go to desolace to level. from those 1 million ppl there are maybe 100 ppl in desolace and that is a huge estimate while 999,900 are not in silithus... id say thats pretty pointless :D
I know I'm late but the reason RFK and RFD have thorns is because that's where Agamaggan fell in the War of the Ancients and they sprouted from his resting place. He is like a god to the Quilboar, and the Thornweaver's spread that shit
The quilboars don't plant the thorns, they just live where they grow because they consider them sacred, as the thorns are rumoured to grow where an ancient world god who was a board died.

If you read the Tauren starting zone quest text, one of them explains how the shamans of the tribes will grow new brambles where ever they go.
I say the Worgen are the best starting zone mob. The whole thing feels like a horror movie, you kill them, go into a last stand and then... YOU REALISE YOU HAVE BECOME A MONSTER!
Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
Yeah I really love the Worgen Starting zone since funny thing I know everything about it
"They are new, they appeared in Cataclysm" Cata was released almost 8 years ago, feel old yet?
Ignacio Solís ......yes...
I miss Pre-Cata WOW.
I was in middle school. Didn’t realize it was that long ago... playing on my dk. Got the minizep. Christmas in ironforge. ... but... then I realized just now how long ago that was... now I’m depressed.
Ignacio Solís wtf I thought it was like 3.....
hello darness my old friend..
There is actually a rare kobold now who spawns by the mine in the human starting area
apparently he didnt get the cata memo
HarperHex Gug Fatcandle. I memorized his name, I got him so much.
Sorry 5 years later but, I read this as ''rare kodo'' and I was so excited to try and find the Kodo rare. Dyslexia makes me look a fool yet again.

What are some other pointless things you want me to cover? I'm thinking Roads next.
wowcrendor seems legit
wowcrendor Roads is an excellent idea. You may also be able to do chairs, useable or otherwise? Just throwin things out there.
Top 10 useless Innkeepers.
Why not skyboxes? I'm sure there are enough all over the place.
Top 10 reasons why WoW is pointless
I am a simple man; I see a new wowcrendor pointless top 10, I leave a like.
You're doing God's work.
The "twitch" that the raptors do is a Jurassic Park reference. The Velociraptors in the movie do this and in the kitchen scene their talons clicking on the floor are used to create tension.
In WoW, you can't hear that, but the Devs probably thought people would remember the scene and provide their own thrills, through their memories :)
You No Take Candle! (Repost)
Kobold dig through earth and clay
Little light to show the way
Kobold hope that some day
Kobold have his own dark place
Kobold know he look like rat
But Kobold show he more than that
Kobold, he is more like man
Kobold think...so Kobold am
Kobold work for shiny things
Metal that shines and jewels that gleam
Kobold hope that soon he will
Have Kobold smile like Goldtooth's grill
Kobold want to have a life
With Kobold kids and Kobold wife
So Kobold dig and scratch and pick
Below the dirt where air is thick
Beware you heroes who venture in
To take our gold and take our tin
Kobold throw pick, Kobold say:
"You no take candle!"
Not today.
calvin allemand I was reading this like the luckydo rap. I still like his.
Oh my Goodness I love it!
That was beautiful
I have not played WoW for long time but as a Blood Elf I'm happy to know my mana wyrm are not Pointless
Those familiars were little bastards before the revamp. They had a large agro range, very close spawn points in the cave and those fireballs hurt a lot. It was almost a guarantee that you would die if you tried to solo the totally unskippable cave quests.
No it wasn't.
It wasn't that hard, it was all positioning and patience, recklessness got you killed in any zone. But i get your point, those (B)oneles goblins were really dangerous for their level.
I think you're remembering the burning medalion cave between ogrimmar and the ocean. Almost identical layout, same spells, and it's warlocks/demons.
I believe the Quilboar cultivate the spiky plants/craul because they live in and around them, use them for protection, etc. They also see it as a manifestation or inheritance after their dead Wildgod, Agamaggan, who died during the War of the Ancients, and spawned the craul as well as the quilboar race.
NOW YOU KNOW!
I think it´s stated somewhere that those thorny plants grew where Agamaggan´s blood dropped when he fought in the War of the Ancients.
Yup, that's right, forgot that detail. :)
Enthused Norseman their Enchanted Thorn seeds that their Shaman bring with them whenever they come into new lands it's actually given in one of the quests that you can read in the tauren starting zone
We must call upon our lord Nobbel for further information
FOR AGAMMAGAN!!
"Thanks for invading our homeland." Said the Ice Trolls who were starting to get tired of people invading their homeland.
in about 48 hours, you might have top comment.
Trolls always get shit on. Drakkari, Amani, frost ones...
"You could make a religion out of this"
Refugees welcome!
How in the name of all things Wow, Did you NOT Include Murlocs?!
DerpDaDerp cause they are not in a starting zone?
DerpDaDerp those aren’t directly in any starter zones I think
sblade777 there are actually in undead starting zone, well at least pre cata they were, don't know if they are still now.
They are indeed in Tristfall Glade still. They are also in Elwynn too...so
Just outside of the draenai starting zone is a fishing quest in wich murlocs pop up
Mankrik's wife is dead!?
"Anyone seen Mankrik's wife?"
Always figured the raptor toe thing was a nod to Jurassic Park, specifically the kitchen scene.
I love the scaling changes
I like the Kul Tiras Marine. (lvl 6-7) it has a charge attack that does 500% normal damage so it opens for 40% of your health. If you aggro 2 of them, you can't even run away from full health.
I was dying of laughter when you showed a close up of the orc holding the telescope to their forehead! lol
I'm tearing up that you missed the feral worgen mob in the Worgen starting zone.
How I still get excited by Pointless Top Tens is beyond me but I love it
The mana addicts from The Blood Elf starting zone deserve a mention I think.
They're called Wretched, which are like the Nightborne's Nightfallen.
Or MAYBE...... pointless Skeletons. (the game playing ones previously mentioned, Skeleton couple laying in a bed is some Inn, and other random skeletons in dungeons, cities, ocean, odd places, etc. you get the idea. Okay? okay.....
I come from four years in the future to tell you he just released it
My number one is grells in the night elf starting zone. I first made a druid and I was fascinated with them. Other honorable mentions are of course trogs, trolls and boars and also wolfs the defiace and mana wyrms. Oh and those blob things the dreanai fight.
I can never unsee those tapping raptor feet...
The familiar are not actually imps. They are what is called Grells. My theory is imps might be corrupted grells.
Crazy Owl That or Blizzard was just reusing Models to save money.
lol
"Little blue shit kids"
Thank you, Crendor for making me laugh this morning. XD
Idk if someone commented this before, but the quilboars brambles were originally from the blood of the ancient boar God. After that, I'm not sure, but I think they have special shaman/Druid guys to help grow them.
In Camp Narache (the tauren starting zone) you are tasked to kill a few of the thorncallers which is likely where all the thorns came from
Quilboar are more like Horde Gnolls, but the Starting Zone versions are so small they practically are Kobolds.
Boars number 1!? What a boar-ing pick!
Just kidding crendawg, I’m on boar-d with it.
wilkic2 please stop
sblade777 How boar-ish of you! And I’ll never stop. I’m too pigheaded
Holy guacamole!!
This comment and reply section has cleared me of my boar-dom
The pun is strong with this one
I’m finding it very enjoyable to go back and watch all these youtubers I used to love as I roam around in WoW transgmog farming
Originally those spiky plants grew from where agamaggan's blood had been spilled during the war of the ancients (hence why theres so many in RFK/RFD because thats where he was killed)
altho in mulgore those are new, so i assume they also grow them.
The thorns grow where Agamaggan's blood dropped in the War of the Ancients!
Agamaggan was slain in the land currently known as the Barrens, near the Field of Giants. The Quilboar believe that wherever Agamaggan’s blood fell, the land grew the thick thorn vines that characterized him. The blood spilled also created red gems called Blood Shards.
Pointless top tens are back!!! It was worth the wait.
Don't forget that boars are also the most thrilling of starting zone mobs.
You should do another one of these! like Pointless top ten retextures to look forward to in BFA or Pointless top ten things vanilla players complain about!
I always loved Ravagers and Lashers (Draenei starting zone)
And no Gnolls? Hogger's badge of disaproval.
You have a pleasant voice. That combined with the randomness makes it an instant like for me.
Lore says the thorns grew from where Agammand's blood pooled on the ground after he was killed during the War of the Ancients when the Legion first invaded.
Those Thorns are the blood of a wild god named Agamaggan, Who died during the War of the ancients. When he died, his blood was spilled across Kalimdor, and from his blood, those thorns started growing.
And there ya go, a little lore lesson
Way to find the most derpy looking NPC's Crendor. haha
Pointless top 10: Spikes on orc buildings
i never played wow but crendor seems like the chillest dude ive stumpled upon on youtube
Dont play wow anymore but still watch crendor
There’s Thorncaller quillboars that are summoning the spiky rose thorns in the Tauren starting area
Seeing Argus in the background really dates this video. Good times.
5:58 That gnome got herself a FarSight XR-20. ;)
gotta forever love the irony of the goblin statue treasure not being pointless
Glad to see another Pointless Top 10 there Crendor. I've missed these.
I used to manually talk to the ice trolls when I first got the game because I thought they were players
WOO, CRENDOR! Keep up the work, love your stuff!
I haven't played this game in so many years! Think I only played a bit after Burning Crusade came out, but all of Crendors WoW videos make me want to play a bit!
the blackrock spyes had me in tears xD
I read the title as "Pointless Top 10: STARING Mobs in World of Warcraft." Needless to say, I was confused for the first 2 minutes of the video before I realized it said "Starting Mobs."
The Blackrock assassin one killed me. XD
Crendor you should bring back this series!!
Shit, I remember when Troggs were new mobs and I got annoyed at the stupid name. Phwoah... been a while.
*back then in a Blizz design team meeting*
''- ...so they're like small trolls but uglier and retarded.
- Yep.
- So how should we call them?
- I dunno, troggs?.
*everyone laughs hysterically*
- Troggs it is.''
It's actually a shortening of troglodytes.
I was joking m8
soz m8
i could be wrong but i believe the raptor talon tapping thing is a reference to jurassic park.
still gold in 2020, thank you Crendor
Please never stop being crendor crendor
Look at their toes? My god, they wear pearls!
this list was more crendor saying random stuff then a actual top 10. this is 10/10 non content material.
Crendor: "Cause inside pointless things are treasure."
Me: *loots the intestines of one of these mobs*
*TREASURE COLLECTION STARTED*
2:19 the thorns were created from the blood of a boar wild god that died in the war of the ancients
The shaman quilboar bring the thorn seeds with them in order to grow the Thorns wherever they go. The Thorns of course strangle the land and turn it into a more desolate and habitable environment for the quilboar. It's in one of these Quest texts for the tauren starting zone
Before Cata I calculated that you could level all the way to Dragonblight only killing boars, sadly from that point on they go they way of Agamaggan.
I always wonder how stoned you are when you make these
Pointless top 10 series is the best
BTW, I miss Mana Wyrm from the list
aw man, happy thursday everyone!
Murlocs...what about the Mulocs? I used to get mobbed by them in Elwyn Forest mrglmrglmrglmrgl !!
I have to laugh everytime I read mrglmrglmrglmrgl
Same. So much mrglmrglmrglmrgl...MRGL....
Tbf, Kobolds you love, Murlocs you love and hate, Quillboars you just hate. They just mean.
For me it was furbolgs. The first character I really started leveling was a night elf rogue and I would get lost in those damn furbolg tunnels. I mean actually lost, at one point I was going to give up and create a new character.
That raptor thing is for the jurasic park movie reference
I actually learned some things, so I deem this to be actually content. But regardless, this video deserves a like.
Goblin first starter zone mob is an empty wallet
Sometimes youtube findsu a video from 8 yo. And u realize u havent seen this one back when u were actively watching the channel. Sometimes i appreciate youtube more than i usually do.
You come for Class Stereotypes, you stay for the Pointless Top 10's and the Leveling Series.
Blue shitkids is my new favourite thing so far this year
Oh how i have missed Pointless Top 10! And yeah you've always said that. Mostly i put this at #_ because i like it and nostalgia. Lol
The giant thorns are from the spilled blood of Agammagan from the war of the ancients.
My cat watched this whole video with me.
your first charcter is a dwarf hunter but you said you had a raptor as a first pet. wich means you either didn't get the poor dwarf to level 10 or you were poor as i was. btw those ice troll (cool trolls xD... I HAD TO SAY IT!!) were the reason you propably mained horde. you should thank them.
heres an idea: top 10 pointless zones. zones that are pointless because no one goes there like desolace. hinterlands. feralas etc
Silithus, it was pointless even before Cataclysm changed every zone.
I am in desolace rn whatchu talking about desolace being useless :( :)
1. i said pointless not useless
2. yes you are in desolace and lets say wow has currently 10million active accounts which is a fairly low estimate. of those 10 million lets say there are 5million ppl who level alts regularly and although that might be a bit high i still go with it because alot of ppl check out the new leveling currently. of those 5 millions lets say there is are 2 million ppl leveling right now and id say from those 2 million ppl leveling right now there are around 1 million ppl at a level where they could go to desolace to level. from those 1 million ppl there are maybe 100 ppl in desolace and that is a huge estimate while 999,900 are not in silithus... id say thats pretty pointless :D
Silithus now has a major plot sword in it so it is slightly less useless now then desolace
well... silithus has two raid instances which already makes it less pointless then desolace regardless of the sword of plotness :D
Pretty sure theres a series of quests that explain how the quilboars are able to get those thorns to grow with magic or some shit
PLEASE do more pointless top 10 please!
Please make a top 10 pointless doors/gates and top 10 zombie dragons
the guy at 9:51 looks like he was interrupted by you and looks at you angrily because of that ^^
7 - My main's pet for my entire wow life.
all of the raptors have that toe thing, even the non-combat pets :p
No murlocks??? Not technically in the starting zone, but those little bastards are everywhere. I have many memories of getting mobbed by them
"save that guy that is in the background poisoned or whatever" Shows a lazy peon sleeping with ZzzzZZzz. Classic!
Ice trolls, in fact, did not stick it out. Theres a plaque to their memory in Dazal'alor, rip Drakkari empire 😢
3:10
Weren't the imps like a yellowish orange color back in traditional wow?
Also, Troggs didn't look that way in early WOW.
They're not really imps anyway, they're called grells.
The telescopes makes them the spys you think they look into the ground but they watch you
top 10 pointless mob death sound effects
also that fire elemental in an ice cave really ruined my immersion at 7:25
WoW!!!!!! This is so awesome, how long has it been since one of these?
I know I'm late but the reason RFK and RFD have thorns is because that's where Agamaggan fell in the War of the Ancients and they sprouted from his resting place. He is like a god to the Quilboar, and the Thornweaver's spread that shit
I would have expected Murlocs to be number one.
The quilboars don't plant the thorns, they just live where they grow because they consider them sacred, as the thorns are rumoured to grow where an ancient world god who was a board died.
