TheWoWDBThis World Boss would make one INCREDIBLE mount!
This is one of the World Bosses coming in Legion. They've really gone all out on launch, with 11 different World Bosses!
Each week a different World Boss is active, and will have an associated Epic World Quest on the map.Once killed, any drops will appear directly in your bags - you do not loot the boss for drops. After the kill, you also get the opportunity to bonus roll with a [currency=1273], if you have any. You can only obtain loot from a World Boss once per week.
Note that each boss drops gear from a specific slot, and each drops a distinct type of relic (except [npc=112350], who doesn't drop a relic). This makes it easy to figure out which bosses you want to farm to fill out a particular slot.There is an achievement for killing 8 out of 10 World Bosses - Unleashed Monstrosities. This achievement will unlock a colour variation for your Valorous artifact appearance.
Below is a chart with a list of all bosses, and the loot dropped by each. Mousing over a loot item will reveal the tooltip for the item in question.

As of today 11/8/2016, the world quest completion and possibly loot credit for this boss appears to have a bug of some sort. I submitted a bug report to Blizzard after experiencing the following along with another guild friend:
.
1st kill -
I did not get world quest credit and received no loot.
Guild friend did not get world quest credit either, but did receive loot.2nd kill -
Neither of us received world quest credit or received any loot.3rd kill - NOTE: We were the ones to tag the boss to start the fight this time
I received world quest credit and loot.
Guild friend finally received world quest credit but did not receive loot.I can confirm that all my add-ons were updated before I logged in today and I did not have to disable them to finish the world quest. Nothing changed between our attempts except that we initiated the fight on the last attempt when we received world quest credit. I'm not sure if tagging the boss had anything to do with it, just included that note here in case others experience similar or can debunk it as a possibility.
Drops the Skull of Shar'thos, which is one of the three pieces used to unlock the hidden weapon skin for Fury Warrior's Warswords of the Valajar: The Dragonslayers. The other pieces are Haft of the God-King from God-King Skovald, in the Halls of Valor, and Skull of Nithogg from Nithogg in Stormheim. It is required to be exalted with the Valarjar to receive these drops.
