TheWoWDBAzurethos is BfA World boss and part of the Unbound Monstrosities
Active only with The Winged Typhoon world quest.
He is located in Tiragarde Sound in Splinterbark Roost subzone.
It is north-west of Boralus on a huge hill. Entrance to the hill is from the west side.This world boss was actually fun. He doesn't hit hard and i was able to tank him as a retri without healer.
But, he has some fun mechanics, like throw away 30-50 yards and if you stand not far from the cliff... haha
He also has this ability to summon circles that will throw you up far in the sky and you will get fall damageThe worst part is that graveyard is way too far, so don't die.
I actually died just to check it in the video and you will get back in 2 mins if you die.For TomTom users:

Incredibly irritating boss. Has a "blowback" ability powerful enough to send you flying off the mountain...way, way off the mountain. I wound up in Boralus, personally. If you die from this, you will be out of range for the kill to count, so you need to release. Problem is, the nearest graveyard is so far, you'll NEVER make it back in time to get credit if you release because of the long, winding path to get back up. Extremely poor design on this encounter. Also, if you die on the mountaintop and wait until it is defeated, you will not make it back in time to loot the corpse if no one in the raid is decent enough to rez you.
Absolutely in-*!@#ing-furiating to lose credit for this boss because you die or get thrown far away and can't get back fast enough. Horrible design. Just horrible.
