Shoveltusk

From WoWWiki

For the mob, see Shoveltusk (mob).

Shoveltusk have so far been found in the Howling Fjord and the Grizzly Hills in Northrend.

The powerful and ferocious shoveltusk are easily identified by the massive curved antler which protrudes from their heads and the twin sloping tusks that extend from their jaw. The moose-like beasts use their tusks primarily to dig for food, whereas the antler makes for a fearsome ramming weapon in contests to establish dominance over other males.

The shoveltusk are territorial and will protect their feeding grounds with deadly force. Adventurers traveling in Northrend would be wise to avoid these cantankerous and unpredictable beasts.

They have been compared to the talbuks and the elekks of Nagrand, a region found in the shattered realm of Outland.
