Atop Mount Mugamba overlooking Atal’Dazar lies the massive remains of a long dead wind serpent. Coordinates are 39, 50 for TomTom users. It’s bones are impaled by two large Zandalari styled spears along the spine. I claim it to be a wind serpent because of the extra bones on the skull, and what would be a misplaced or extra digit on the wing of a Pterrodax.
We know the Zandalari put a stop to the summoning of Hakkar in the past, but could his avatar have manifested? At the very least its bone structure lines up closely to that of creatures such as Tharon’ja, the Prophet of Quetz’lun, and the Avatar of Hakkar.
I think two options remain:
- This is the corpse of the Avatar of Hakkar the Soulflayer
- The remains of some unknown/unidentified wind serpent Loa.
Because of the history Hakkar has with the region, I think the answer is the former.

Looks like I gotta take a field trip and investigate.

That’d be a cool easter egg, i’ve seen it, and it may be Hakkar’s corpse.
Some Zandalari once summoned Hakkar into Zandalar, creating the blood plague that Zul mentions within Kings’ Rest.
It could be possible they put the corpse up there so that people wouldn’t see it, it’s also close to Kings’ Rest, which would also make sense. It could also just be the corpse of a large wind serpent. If they truly wanted to hide the body they could’ve just buried it, but maybe it is Hakkar.

This is what makes it a tinfoil hat theory. The Zandalari put a stop to the summoning before Hakkar could fully manifest in the physical world. I contend that his avatar was summoned and eventually defeated atop Mount Mugamba.
As to why they would leave his body there? Well given that it was too risky to handle the remains of those afflicted with the blood plague, It’s possible Hakkar’s remains would entail a much greater risk.

Wasn’t that Plague caused by G’huun? I thought it was also mentioned in Vectis’s journal entry.

Hakkar is the ultimate source of the Blood Trolls.
As for G’huun and Vectis:
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Vectis#Adventure_Guide
Vectis is the result of Hakkar’s Corrupted Blood mixing with G’huun’s Blood. The Blood Trolls of Zul may claim to be children of G’huun but unless they are using Vectis’s Blood Magic it is unlikely.
G’huun uses the Void Magic-variant known Underrot as his primary Magic not Blood Magic AKA Tortured Life Magic.
The Titan Keepers first:
- created the Underrot abomination known as G’huun by studying Old God Corruption then…
- they experimented on Loa and created the Fetid Abomination then…
- they tried to study the Corrupted Blood of Hakkar which combined with a sample of G’huun’s Blood and created Vectis then…
- when trying to keep the facility under containment with Taloc he became corrupted and then…
- Zek’voz invaded Zandalar in the name of N’Zoth and got captured.
Oh damn, you’re right… oh my god, they actually canonized the corrupted blood incident.
Yeah, unless we find out at some point that Hakkar was himself some kind of G’huun-corrupted loa, it would seem that G’huun basically co-opted the blood trolls as his own worshipers in the absence of Hakkar.

He even got Zul to try to enslave Hakkar in Zul’Gurub. That may have been G’huun’s only contribution to Zul’s plans since in the Beta at the least the plans(including the infiltration of the Zanchuli Council) for the most part came from Azshara(https://wow.gamepedia.com/Report_from_Zuldazar).
How did Azshara and G’huun get into an alliance? Probably due to N’Zoth’s servant Zek’voz being interred in Uldir. Azshara helps G’huun get out and she gets every Empire restored to their former glory.
It’s interesting how Azshara wants Dazar ruling Zandalar, Lei Shen ruling Pandaria, the Gurubashi ruling Zul’Gurub, the Amani ruling Zul’Aman, Lord Stormsong ruling Kul’Tiras and Korthek ruling the Sethrak Empire. Is this the Black Empire that Azshara wants?
The Report from Zuldazar in the Beta indicates she wants equal rulership too… This is very different from the Azshara from the War of the Ancients who wanted to wash away the unworthy at the very least and to name everything in her Empire after herself.
If both depictions of her are reconcilable then she probably expects every Emperor and King to slap their names all over their Empires and remove the unworthy from their Empires. Is there a name for this attitude?
