Overview
The Sha are malevolent physical manifestations of negative emotion in Pandaria, born from the lingering essence of the Old God Y’Shaarj. Long dormant beneath the land, they rose again when war and conflict returned to Pandaria, feeding upon emotions such as doubt, fear, hatred, despair, violence, and anger.
