Hahaha. Unfortunately our site doesn’t currently support icons for blue posters. However, if I were to choose, I’d pick Jani. :3

He’s brutal, too. The first time I played through it I didn’t know the Tarragrue existed and got roflstomped.

I’m here to confirm that vitality is not a resource within Torghast nor is there a mechanic akin to it. Only your deaths will halt your climb!

Please keep in mind that not everything discovered in datamining exists or are feature final as Shadowlands is still in development.

The Tarragrue is only alerted to your presence if you die repeatedly. Otherwise, he will not appear/hunt you down.

Unlike the tendrils of time, you can escape from the Tarragrue.

All the more humiliating when you die to it. :frowning:

The Tarragrue with rabbit ears would be WoW’s version of the Jabberwock; a wildly absurd terror.

Which I’m all here for.

EDITED: The creature is a Jabberwock and the poem’s a Jabberwocky. My dreadful punishment for this typo is to re-read that brilliant piece of literature. Oh nooooes.

When Torghast goes live on alpha you’ll be able to queue for it by speaking with the Flaska-Torghast NPC in either Aspirant’s Rest or Hero’s Rest.

Don’t worry, you can’t miss him–he’s a larger-than-life tauren Death Knight.

…I used to know this and also be that pedantic when people got it wrong.

Joke’s on me this time and I accept your correction. :3

Soon (no tm). Here’s the info I’ve been sharing:
