For being such an expensive minion, it has no direct impact on the game, just like [[Faceless Behemoth]]. Therefore it's considered below average, as you risk wasting a lot of mana if your opponent has a cheap way to remove it ([[Sap]], [[Shadow Word: Death]], [[Deadly Shot]], etc.).

While its stats mean it is still a solid late game body, it runs the risk of being efficiently removed by cards like LegacyShadow Word: Death, LegacyDeadly Shot or LegacyHex.

Lore

The Eldritch Horror appears to be a C'Thrax, or "faceless general".

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
The C'Thraxxi (singular: C'Thrax), commonly referred to as faceless generals, are monstrous warbringers that are larger and more resilient than other n'raqi. Possessing great strength and brutal intellect, their dark powers can drive even titan-forged to madness. C'Thraxxi are easily distinguishable from lesser faceless ones by their enormous size and more arthropod-like features. They usually serve as protectors and commanders within places of great importance to the Old Gods.
