What the Item Costs
Where It Drops
The Writhing Brood drops from Zul'jan, an encounter in the dungeon Altar of Fangs (Midnight). The Adventure Guide lists it only on Mythic and Mythic Keystone. It is one of 12 items in that encounter's loot table. The game files carry no drop chance, so none is shown here.
With the Fang of Ula'tek, Zul'jan performs the final ritual to gain the power to release the monstrous weapon his ancestors sealed away thousands of years ago. Still held in the sway of the spirit of Malacrass, Zul'jan is unaware that the Fang is also the only hope for his sister Zul'jarra's survival.
What It Looks Like
Its model measures about 5.6 yards long, 2.6 wide and 4.0 tall, the rider sits 1.7 yards up and the display draws the model at 1.6x scale. Figures come from the CreatureModelData bounding box.
Same body, other looks (3)
These mounts are drawn on the same CreatureModelData record as The Writhing Brood: one skeleton, different skins.
