Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Gortok Palehoof encounter in Utgarde Pinnacle.

The vrykul keep many trophies at Utgarde Keep, and Gortok is among the most impressive. King Ymiron displays the frozen magnataur's cruel countenance as a reminder that even the most savage beasts are mere decorations for vrykul halls. This living statue will sow destruction if liberated, unleashing his wrath indiscriminately.
