Notes:

• One of the possible bosses for Einherjar - Wing I chambers.
• Can Draw In its current target.
• Uses standard manticore TP moves as well as Mighty Strikes.
• Monster seems to have random hate; switches targets often and with no apparent pattern.
• Highly resistant to many earth based Enfeebling Magic spells, additionally has shown great resistance to Diabolos's Ultimate Terror. Recommend the use of Paralyze II seems to stick rather well.
• For a BLU, Poison Breath worked extremely well. Nearly 200 damage each cast.
• Keeping DoTs up for duration of the fight will shorten the time required to kill this.

Historical Background

In Norse mythology, Hraesvelg (more properly spelled Hræsvelgr) was a giant eagle who created strong winds whenever it flapped its wings. It nested high up in a mountain at the edge of the world where it can overlook Helheim. Hraesvelg means “corpse-eater”.
