Scattered throughout World of Warcraft are unique, difficult-to-find enemies called rares. They come in all shapes and sizes, and defeating them all can be quite a challenge. In Wrath of the Lich King Classic defeating all of Northrend's rares will grant you the Frostbitten achievement, and is a popular challenge many players will undertake during their time in WotLK.

Due to the scarcity of their spawns, you may need some help in finding and killing these special enemies. This guide will show you where to locate every Northrend rare, as well as what add-ons you can use to make your search easier.
