Since Patch 3.2.2, during Wrath of the Lich King and WoW's 5th Anniversary, Onyxia's Lair got revamped and turned into a level 80 raid. The quests below, as well as the Amulette drakefeu are no longer obtainable, and thus no longer required to enter the raid.

The level 80 version of Onyxia's Lair is what we have ingame nowadays, and you can check out all about the revamp on this post!

started the quest Célébrer le triomphe/Pour que tous voient. These quests had a selection of dragon-themed loot as rewards: Talisman de sang d'Onyxia, Chevalière du tueur de dragon, Pendentif en dent d'Onyxia.
Those quests also have a really cool RP event, with the head of Onyxia herself being chained to Stormwind's gates, or put on a spike near Orgrimmar's entrance. After the RP event, players in the city will be blessed by the Cri de ralliement du tueur de dragon.

Taunt Immunity: Onyxia is immune to all taunt abilities such as Provocation, Coup railleur and Grondement. Abilities that have increased threat generation like Fracasser armure do work, though.

Fire Immunity: Onyxia is also immune to all Fire spells and effects. This includes wands with Fire damage and weapons with Fire damage procs, such Ench. d'arme (Arme flamboyante).

Whelp Nests: To the east and west side of the room you fight her in, there are two entrances to a tunnel full of whelp eggs. Running too close to these nests will make the eggs crack, and spawn Dragonnet onyxiens.

Onyxian Wardens: Unlike many bosses, Onyxia does not close off her room once engaged. However, Gardien onyxiens will respawn as soon as she is in combat, and will disappear once your raid wipes/Onyxia dies. This stops players from wanting to use the corridor leading to the Onyxia room for a possible advantage.

Teleport: Onyxia can teleport characters to herself if they're too far away from her or her mechanics. This usually happens to characters near the start of her room, but there's been multiple occurrences of this happening to characters anywhere within her arena.

Souffle de flammes: Onyxia unleashes a blast of fire that hits everyone in front of her, dealing considerable damage, enough to one-shot a non-tank without the proper preparation.

Repousser au loin: Knocks her main target back a short distance, and reduces their total threat by 25%.

Frappe des ailes: Knocks all targets in front of her away. Unlike most dragons with this ability, this does not cause a threat drop.

: Inflicts normal damage to her main target and up to 10 additional targets in front of her.

: Sweeps her tail, dealing little damage but knocking away enemies behind her a fair distance.

Flight: At the beginning of Phase Two, Onyxia will take flight. Normal melee attacks won't reach her, but abilities such as Attaque pernicieuse and Frappe héroïque can still hit her while she's flying.

Boule de feu: Onyxia breathes Fireballs at random targets. Those will deal a main hit on the target, and splash on a short area around the target.

Dragonnet onyxien: Onyxian Whelps will spawn through all of Phase Two, even if there's no players near the nests. The spawns include a huge wave after Onyxia takes flight, then small waves through Phase Two.

: Onyxia signals she's gonna use this ability by using the emote, "Onyxia takes in a deep breath...". A few seconds later, she flies across the room, unleashing a massive wall of fire as she passes to the other side of the room.

Phase One Abilities: Onyxia lands back at the beginning of Phase Three, and continues using all her Phase One abilities till she dies or the raid wipes.

Rugissement puissant/Lava Eruptions: After a few seconds, Onyxia unleashes a zone-wide fear, causing everyone to run away randomly for a few seconds. The fear is usually accompanied by a wave of lava eruptions, with the cracks of the room's floor spewing lava.

Dragonnet onyxien: Onyxian Whelps will continue spawning through Phase Three, although not as many times or as numerous as Phase Two.

Together with Cœur du Magma, Onyxia's Lair was one of the first raids in WoW, available right at the game's launch.

Onyxia became famous outside of WoW thanks to the Onyxia Wipe Animation meme (WARNING! Loud yelling and lots and lots of swearing), which shows a raid leader rigorously set up a strategy for Onyxia only to have someone from his raid feared into the whelps. Originally only available in soundboard version, an animation was made later in true Newgrounds fashion.

Another meme born from Onyxia is how random her Deep Breathes are. Theorycrafters back in Vanilla attempted to pinpoint how often she does breath, never reaching a satisfying answer. WoWWiki has a good list of reasons as to why she could be Deep Breathing more.

As Dame Katrana Prestor, Onyxia had a huge influence over the House of Nobles of Stormwind, and was directly responsible for the disbanding of the Stonemasons, and the creation of the Defias Brotherhood.
If you really like Lady Katrana Prestor, you can look just like her with Robe du pouvoir volatil and Bâton guide de sagesse. Check it out in our Dressing Room!
