== Background ==
According to the artist, Gwathnor is some type of lesser Balrog, similar to a [[Regmyl|Rogmul]].

Gwathnor drops either the [[Item:Singed Cloak|Singed Cloak]] or the [[Item:Cloak of Shadow and Flame|Cloak of Shadow and Flame]], of which the second has better stats, but is also very rare. It was once rumoured that killing the boss while he is switching from shadow form to flame form would increase the drop chance. After many years of speculation, in September 2010 a developer finally revealed that it is really just a random drop and special tactics won't increase it.
