Avatar of Hakkar Guide
Avatar of Hakkar in The Temple of Atal'hakkar: a journal-derived encounter reference quoted from the Adventure Guide, not a strategy guide. Database holds the raw abilities and the full loot table.
Background
Adventure Guide says
Hakkar was notorious for demanding sacrifices from his followers. Many millennia ago, he instructed the Atal'ai to bring forth his avatar, using blood ritually drained from living victims to feed him. The Atal'ai priests now seek to raise Hakkar's avatar with a modified version of this ritual, one that involves sacrificing green dragons. If the Atal'ai succeed, the re-emergence of Hakkar's avatar could spell doom for Azeroth.
