Archmage Arugal is the final boss of Shadowfang Keep, the mad necromancer who created the worgen. He teleports around the room, hits the whole group with Shadow Bolt Volley, and uses Thundershock with a knockback.

Strategy
- Arugal teleports around the room — the healer keeps line-of-sight to the tank and follows the boss.
- Shadow Bolt Volley hits the whole group: stack up for efficient AoE healing, don't scatter far.
- Thundershock knocks back and can interrupt casts — casters be ready to resume.
- On x5 wipe bodies are near the entrance — fast recovery; save mana for a longer fight.
