Infinite dragonflight The Infinite Dragonflight is the meddlesome force behind the attempts to alter history within the Caverns of Time . Description . All castes of this dragonflight , from whelp to dragonspawn to fully grown dragon , have been encountered . Their color range varies from black to dark gray / gunmetal , with an oddly cracked and deteriorating appearance . They are covered with tiny black residual particles and a strange blue light glows through the cracks . Appearing in three of the four Caverns of Time instances , they are attempting to prevent crucial events in Azeroth ' s history from occurring . In Escape from Durnholde Keep , they interrupt Thrall ' s escape by kidnapping Taretha . In Opening the Dark Portal , they attempt to prevent Medivh from opening the portal . In the Culling of Stratholme , they try to hide the evidence Arthas uses to rationalize and support his order to purge Stratholme . The nature and purpose of the Infinite Dragonflight are unknown , but comments made by Epoch Hunter do reveal that they serve a single master . In Burning Crusade . The Infinite Dragonflight under the command of Murozond appear in three of the four Caverns of Time instances and are attempting to prevent crucial events in Azeroth ' s history from occurring . In Escape from Durnholde Keep , they interrupt Thrall ' s escape by kidnapping Taretha . If Thrall had never escaped from Durnholde , Thrall would never have rebuilt the Horde or freed his people from the internment camps . And so Thrall would not have been able to bring aid against the Burning Legion when the demons came . Azeroth could have been destroyed . [ 3 ] In Opening the Dark Portal , they attempt to prevent Medivh from opening the portal . In Wrath of the Lich King . In " Wrath of the Lich King " , Chromie sends players to the Bronze Dragonshrine to divine the true identity of the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight . While there , players can see both the Infinite and Bronze dragons fighting " through time " attempting to gain / maintain control of the shrine . The Infinite Dragonflight also appears during the Culling of Stratholme in an attempt to disrupt the timeline by preventing Arthas Menethil from purging the city . In Cataclysm . Occulus , one of the bronze drakes guarding the entry of the Caverns of Time , has been corrupted and transformed into an infinite drake . In " Thrall : Twilight Of The Aspects " . It is revealed by Nozdormu to Thrall and the other Dragon Aspects , that he is , indeed , the leader of the infinite dragonflight from a possibly altered timeline and that his absence for a considerable amount of time was due to the investigation of his transformation causing him to become lost in the timelines and unable to return to the present moment . In the End Time instance , it is explained that in a future Azeroth , the Old Gods tempted Nozdormu into finding a way to subvert his mortality , corrupting himself into and his dragonflight into the Infinite Dragonflight . In his madness , Murozond attempted to destroy time itself in order to avoid his own death , but was defeated by his past self with the help of a group of adventurers . Even so , Nozdormu warned the adventurers that he was nonetheless destined to fall into madness and become Murozond one day . Speculation . Nozdormu ' s Involvement . With the addition of the " " expansion , a new quest called is available in the Dragonblight . On this mission , Chromie sends the player to the Bronze Dragonshrine to divine the identity of the true leader of the Infinite Dragonflight . At the end of the quest , the player sees the long - missing Nozdormu , leader of the Bronze Dragonflight . Chromie states that this makes no sense , then brushes it off and says that she is glad that Nozdormu is alive and well . She adds that he had left without telling the rest of the flight " where or when " he was going . Considering the fact that Nozdormu seems to have been absent since the trouble with the Infinite Dragonflight began , and also assuming that Chromie ' s divining process worked , then the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight may in fact be Nozdormu . This is further supported by the statements of regret that Nozdormu makes during the War of the Ancients . He apologizes to Korialstrasz for actions he would commit against him in the future and says that not even he can change his ultimate " fate " . At the time , this was assumed to be his death . However , in light of the Mystery of the Infinite quest , it is very likely that the fate he was referring to was his role as the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight . This broaches the possibility that Infinite Dragons are actually former Bronze dragons , perhaps from the future . This is indicated further , by the fact that upon entering the Mount Hyjal instance , Indormi says , " Do you think the rumors about the Infinite Dragonflight are true ? I ' ve sensed it . . . the familiarity . " This suspicion is pushed into the realm of fact in that , during the Caverns of Time : Culling of Stratholme instance , players are afforded the chance to see the Infinite Corruptor transform a Bronze dragonspawn into an Infinite one , by failing to meet the time requirement to save him from this fate . This suggests that the Bronze dragons are actually past versions of their Infinite counterparts . What ' s more , it seems that the bronze dragons are beginning to suspect this relation . It is possible that the members of this dragonflight are Bronze dragons that decided to improve on the future . But this does not explain why they are black , although magic could have mutated them . Furthermore , it is stated that if the Infinite Dragonflight is successful in altering time , the past , present and future will ( would ? ) collapse . If the Infinite Dragonflight are future versions of the Bronze , they should be aware of this as well . Additional circumstantial evidence for this theory : For one , there are no other entities known in Azeroth that have such strong and readily used powers over time , apart from the Bronze and Infinite dragonflights , which suggests that they are connected . For another , if the Bronze Dragonflight , at any point in the thousands of years of its existence , were to become corrupted or enslaved , the effects would be seen throughout time . As nearly every other long - lasting entity or organization in Azeroth has at some point been manipulated by the Burning Legion or the Old Gods , it ' s likely that the Bronze Dragonflight will encounter similar corruption at some point . The Infinite dragons also seem to have motives other than the initial dangerous disruption of the time - stream implied by the Bronze dragons . In the Caverns of Time , the Infinite dragons are involved in three out of four of the instances . In each of the cases of their involvement it can be argued that by changing events that occurred , they are in fact improving the future for the better , such as stopping Medivh from opening the Dark Portal which allowed demons entry to Azeroth , as well as preventing the actions leading up to Prince Arthas becoming the Lich King . Involvement in the case of Thrall ' s Escape from Durnholde Keep are questionable . Some would argue that preventing Thrall from becoming warchief of the Horde would allow the Horde to continue down its old and dark ways , however others would argue that by preventing Thrall from changing the then - broken Old Horde into the stronger New Horde , the renewed conflict between the Horde and the Alliance would not have occurred , or would otherwise be less severe . In the case of the Battle for Mount Hyjal , it is noted that there is no involvement by the Infinite Dragonflight at all , which implies either that they have a hidden role in the conflict or that they consider involvement of the players to have the best possible outcome and do not interfere with their actions . It should however be noted that the battle in WoW is different from that of WCIII in many ways . It is equally possible that Nozdormu is trying to avoid his death , as he knows when and how it will happen , but as it is unavoidable , he inadvertently causes it . Returning to the future theory , perhaps a future form of Nozdormu causes a corruption in the Bronze Dragonflight , that turns current Nozdormu to get corrupted into future Nozdormu , which , as a keeper of time , he is then forced to uphold this infinite loop ( explaining the name ? ) and the infinite dragonflight is then born . As the dragons of this dragonflight are loyal to Current Nozdormu , the infinite dragonflight seen at the Old Hillsbrad , the dark portal , and other COT raids are trying to stop Nozdormu ' s corruption , inadvertently causing more trouble than they wish to avoid . In Cataclysm Patch 4 . 3 . 0 , a dungeon called End Time will be made available . The final boss of this instance appears to be a huge , infinite dragon called Murozond , who is described as having the power to block Nozdormu ' s sight of time and the ability to create a new and infinite dragonflight [ 1 ] . It appears as if this dragon leads the infinite dragonflight , though this hasn ' t been confirmed yet . However , ' Murozond ' is an anagram of ' Nozdormu ' , strongly suggesting that they are two versions of the same being , albeit from different time periods .
