Title. What is the lore reason behind that? It kinda doesnt make sense.

He had aspirations greater than trade prince and thought it sounded cool, who knows

I feel the same. Chrome King feels weird and out of place.

Like trade baron or something would’ve made far more sense.

Yeah, but I mean like. Thats it? I mean its fine but its kinda lame. I think there is a plethora of other better titles.

I do know though, as youre clearing Rik Reverbs trash, he is playing some kind of music to make everyone trip out about ‘chrome.’ If anyone can elaborate on that better.

I honestly don’t know about Gallywix’s lore, but I do know that goblins seem to be motorheads who are into jerry-rigged hotrods and the like. It doesn’t seem out of place to me.

Maybe because he always looks cheap like chrome? Beats me :man_shrugging:

I thought we were going to get some story on why he had that title but seems not

This basically sums up my thought process on it.

I guess he just though it sounded cool, plus, with how ridiculous his inflated ego is, he probably wanted to go for the “King” title to put himself above the “Princes”

11

Cars or mad max thing? Idk.

Edit: per the fight description

“Gallywix gains energy over time, activating The House of Chrome’s Giga Coils at max capacity”

He’s called his place The House of Chrome.

He also drops a tank trinket https://www.wowhead.com/item=230029/chromebustible-bomb-suit

So I guess he just loves Chrome and named himself the king of his house of Chrome.

Why is Gallywix called the “Chrome King”

The answer from CoPilot:

“Trade Prince Jastor Gallywix, a character from the World of Warcraft universe, earns the title “Chrome King” for his intense obsession with wealth and extravagance, which is symbolized by shiny and luxurious materials like chrome. Gallywix is the epitome of greed and excess—surrounding himself with chrome-clad machinery, glitzy inventions, and anything that screams opulence. The nickname reflects not just his fascination with glimmering riches but also his cunning and ruthlessness in achieving them.”

Bobby Gallywix is not bald!

14

because he gave himselft hat title and no one told him he couldn’t

15

He was going to go with Copper King, but it didn’t have a nice ring to it.

Chrome is usually used to decorate surfaces and make them look “smooth” or “sleek”. Chrome is also typically used to denote futuristic or high tech environments.

So I think it could be a reference to the fact that he is in a futuristic mech-head-suit-thing. With that being said, I think it could also be eluding to the idea that he is hiding his rotten core under layers of decorative chrome.

Well there was already someone infamous for copper. Wouldn’t want the association.

I mean, it’s Gallywix. He wouldn’t have hesitated to steal that title if it was to his benefit. It was clearly all about personal preference for him.

He was just a big fan of the browser.
