Ghamoo-Ra (Classic)

Ghamoo-Ra is an elite turtle mini-boss found in the Pool of Ask'ar of Blackfathom Deeps.

''When the Twilight's Hammer cult arrived, its followers roused and imprisoned one of the last peaceful creatures living in Elune's temple. The cult delighted in tormenting the giant turtle for years, flaying its mind and body until it succumbed to madness. Naming the beast Ghamoo-Ra, the cultists trained it to attack outsiders and defend the Old Gods' shrine.''

Ghamoo-Ra lives on the small island in the second cavern of the instance. He roams around the center of the landmass and is surrounded by several other turtles. The additional turtles are, and Ghamoo-Ra can be engaged without disturbing these other beasts.

The fight with Ghamoo-Ra is fairly straightforward, although due to Ghamoo-Ra's high armor value the encounter can last a fair amount of time if your group is melee heavy or generally low on DPS. He only casts Trample, which is an AoE physical damage spell. It can be blocked.

• Deep in the Deeps

Hunters will find that it is possible to tame Ghamoo-Ra. Prior to patch 3.0.2, he was one of two low level instance turtles who knew the turtle-specific skill Shell Shield (Level 1) and the general skill Bite (Level 4).

• Ghamoo-Ra may be named after the film turtle-monster,.
