world boss Echidna down!

Unread post by Fangz »

After many deaths, this bloodthirsty hydra was brought down! Took about 100 level 90-92's to take this thing down but we did it! Not sure if it was world first but it was sure exciting to see so many people fight off this hydra.

I was there! Got some video of the take-down, which I'll have to render and upload - I'll post a link here when I get that done.

Third screenshot, top of General chat. "Gnomegnome" : "I killed Echidna and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" Couldn't help but crack up there.

Also, glad to see so many hunters with thunder hydras! they really do stick out as pets.

Here's the very short video I took of the kill. I arrived right at the end, just in time to get off a couple of shots and send my pets.

Where does this thing spawn? Ran all over Shadowmoon and never saw it.

Edit: nevermind, found him off the southwest coast around where Shadowmoon and Spires meet.

I've noticed something. I don't think Echidna is a world boss, I think its a new class of very large creatures. There are a lot of them in various zones that are big like Echidna. And the Dungeon Journal as 3 World Boss entries that none of these big mobs are a part of.

I know it could all change, but I have a feeling theres just going to be big world creatures, and then 3 World Bosses as well.

I wondered that too - I'm a retired wildlife biologist and was looking for a spiny anteater and all I found was a hydra. Granted this is a different world than ours, but really? Maybe they eat really big ants. (shudders at the thought of giant ants all over Draenor)

I suspect that's the reference they are going for, what with the "mother of all monsters" thing.
