Crawling Claw

Crawling Claw is a rare archaeology artifact that requires 450 skill to find and 150 Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments to solve. Up to three Tol'vir Hieroglyphic keystones may be used to complete it.

''This appears to be nothing more than the paw of a small primate. A closer inspection shows that the hand has been dried by centuries of exposure to the sands of Uldum.''

Djinns, being air elementals, can only be permanently killed while in the Elemental Plane (in this case Skywall). Death in the mortal plane only sends them to the Elemental Plane. If it actually was a djinn as the legend says, perhaps he had some sort of time constraint that he could not afford the delay in returning to Azeroth, and thus trying a transfer was worth the effort. Of course, this is dependent on whether an elemental could actually do such a thing, or that it would really work.

This is most likely a reference to W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw. It is also described by the character Sergent-Major as, "an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy." This description is similar to that of the description given when unsolved.
