WoTLK Bestiary: Shovel Tusk

The Wrath Of the Lich King Bestiary was updated once more!

Shovel Tusk

The powerful and ferocious shovel tusks are easily identified by the massive curved antler which protrudes from their heads and the twin sloping tusks that extend from their jaw. The moose-like beasts use their tusks primarily to dig for food, whereas the antler makes for a fearsome ramming weapon in contests to establish dominance over other males.

The shovel tusks are territorial and will protect their feeding grounds with deadly force. Adventurers traveling in Northrend would be wise to avoid these cantankerous and unpredictable beasts. source

Based on the other screen shots of the Shovel Tusk, it seems like they belong to a zone similar to Nagrand. From what we’ve seen from the game so far, I think it’s safe to predict that the Shovel Tusk could be another one of those “Mastery” quests. I mean it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see Hemet Nesingwary and his expedition again, would it? Maybe he has another son to take over the expedition in Nagrand once the Wrath of the Lich King expansion comes out haha!

Check out the Neribian Vizier and the Plague Eruptor in the same bestiary.
