Ashkarath the Nightmare Dragon
Tier 10 · Dragonspine Peaks, Titanfall Ruins – catalog level 100, met at level 100. Regenerates 0.15% of its health every second while it lives. A stun interrupts a boss's cast, even while it is unyielding. Bosses take half of every stun, root and slow; a stun or a root makes a boss unyielding for 8 s, and until then it shrugs off further stuns, roots and slows. A slow never makes it unyielding.
