Cenarius
Official Overview (Blizzard)
The fallen Cenarius periodically creates Nightmare Seeds, which germinate for a short duration and then summon an Ally of Nightmare that must be defeated. Malfurion aids in the battle and cleanses the Nightmare Seed with the largest number of nearby players, purifying that Ally so that it instead helps the raid.
