Description:
Blood red with scales angled for speed and brutality. A creature built on the thrill of the hunt so much so that its spirit has been known to hunt the very Anglers that reel it from the waters of Zul'Aman. A gloriously dangerous reminder to keep your wits about you.

Sadly, they fixed that sitting would prevent it from spawning with the 6/16/26 patch. Found out trying to fish in Voidstorm today. Both me and another player managed to spawn one each while sitting.
