You're a Mean One...

Locate and return the Stolen Treats to Kaymard Copperpinch in Orgrimmar. It was last thought to be in the possession of the Abominable Greench, found somewhere in the snowy regions of the Alterac Mountains.
Stolen Treats

Description

A c-c-creature called "The Abominable Greench" is the one w-w-who stole our shipment of t-t-treats, <name>. Be c-c-careful though! He is t-t-the one who turned me into this s-s-snowy mess!

You're g-g-gonna need some help in f-f-facing him. I've seen him w-w-wander all around where the y-y-yeti are; he's s-s-surely here s-s-somewhere! F-f-find the treats <name>, take them b-b-back to Smokywood Pastures in Orgrimmar, and t-t-tell them I n-n-need to be unfrozen!

Progress

<name> - our Feast of Winter Veil will be ruined without those treats to restock! Graccu himself will miss out on sharing his delicious meat pies with all the good boys and girls this season...

Completion

You found it! You've saved Smokywood Pasture's Feast of Winter Veil!

Poor Sacks... we'll be sure to send a team out there and figure out a way to unfreeze him. Hopefully, he'll be back in time for the day of the Feast; he'll need to make up missed time working though. Still, this wouldn't even be possible if it weren't for you!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 330 experience (19 80 at max. level)

The new event goes like this:
  • You fight https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=54499"">(NPC #54499) and he now has over 3 million health! (Note that he looks nothing like his former self ""https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=13602"">(NPC #13602)"".)
  • You do not need to be in the same group as the one that tagged him, simply fight the boss and when he dies you can loot sacks of the stolen goods in the cave (the one right behind him, stuffed with those Christmas trees, presents and what not.) The reindeer will automatically be credited to you, you can always talk to it too if it makes you feel better.
  • You do not need a tank, a plate DPS can take his hits but I wouldn't solo him because of his large health pool. Still if few in numbers be nice and throw some heal or two on the one taking damage.
It's a daily, each day you do it you have a chance to loot https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73797"">(Item #73797) from the rewarded https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792) -good luck and Marry Christmas!<div class=""quote"">Old post said: <div class=""pad"">He usually spawns at 30,60. Sometimes 30,55 then a bit south and closer to the quest giver (Snowman).
It's a random spawn between the 3 locations, but I've seen him spawning mostly at 30,60.

<pre class=""code"">/tar The Abominable Greench
/run local n,t,c=""The Abominable Greench"",""target"",""YELL""if UnitName(t)==n and(not UnitIsDead(t))then if GetNumPartyMembers()&gt;0 then c=""PARTY""end SendChatMessage(""-&gt; ""..n.."" is here! &lt;-"",c)Minimap:PingLocation(0,0)end</pre>Make that advanced macro and spam it, once he is up you will make sure you and your
party knows he is up at your location! Just tag him with a low ranked spell and let him hit you until your
party members arrive at your location, as a 70 you can stand there for ages. ;)

He is camped by a lot of 70 so if you are lower level ask a pal for help.. try to group up with 5 others
and camp each spot, tag and tell party he is at your spot. If I am you don't help killing because it might
result you getting killed by a angry alliance party that only half got the loot and the other half didn't
because they were too far away. :P

(Updated, same deal only a bit better.)

They Abominable Greench yells ""Raaaaaar!"" when he spawns, and will sometimes turn you into a snowman, stunning you for a few seconds.

The name ""Greench"", by the way, is a reference to ""http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinch The Grinch"", a character featured in a series of children's poems by Dr. Seuss. There even is a song, ""You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch"", to which the quest name is a direct reference.

This quest has been changed as of 4.3. It now appears to be a Daily Group quest, requiring lvl 80 to pick it up. Also, it rewards https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792). Perhaps Blizzard made the Greench into an Un-Instanced Holiday Boss rather than have a LFD thing like previous Holidays.

Edit: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73792"">(Item #73792) will have a chance to contain https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=73797"">(Item #73797), some Justice Points if you are not capped, as well as other assorted holiday pets and toys.

Facts:
In Cataclysm Patch it has 3,4 million health.

In the new Cataclysm Patch it has a new look.
Old one looked like this: https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=13959"">(NPC #13959) but with grey colour.
New one looks like this: https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=29875"">(NPC #29875) but with green colour and with santa gnomes standing on its horns.

When killed, Stolen Threats will spawn outside the cave and Metzen will be free.

Location:
He spawns outside the Growless Cave in Hillsbrad Foothills, east of Dalaran Crater.

Tactics:
He does NOT hit that hard on people with tank gear and may be soloable as tank.

Anyhow; it will throw snowmen to the ground and if you stand too close to it you'll get frozen for 4 seconds. Just run away from it when it spawns behind you.
it will also throw random christmas trees around with a shiny star on the top. Dont stand close to it because he'll charge to it and use a very painful Tauren Stomp-looking attack called ""Abominable Crush"" which hits around ~95k.
Sometimes he'll use a snare-looking spell called ""Shrink Heart"" that snares you for around 1 second.

If the Greench is already dead (by your group or another), all you need to do is talk to the reindeer, and loot the stolen treats.

This quest is available to at least on lv 82, so I assume the Required Level is still at 80. (Winter's Veil 2012)

As an FYI- There are usually mobs of players, both Horde and Alliance there, to kill the Greench. All you have to do is be in the area and wait until he is dead, and go grab a treat from the sacks. Don't go into the cave itself, this is all outside of the cave. If you go in you might become stuck :/

Handy Tip: Standing in the area for awhile is a great way to complete ?achievement=1687"">(Achievement #1687).
