RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
Heh. I saw him pop up when I turned a quest in, and missed the Deadliest Catch quest, so as a hunter, I went and shot him. This went on for a while, then I got bored and went to see what I'd missed, picked up the quest and did the 'shoot down the night spooge' part... then went back and shot him again. Cannon? Ha! I've shot Deathwing in the face, I don't need your cannon!
I did kill him, but it took over half an hour. He sank into the water, the popup dialog talking head for the quest completion came up, I got a screenshot of him underwater (Looked the same, just sticking out of the ground), then he came back up and the quest went back to the bit where I was supposed to get on the gryphon and take off, so I did.
That is every comment on this page.
