The Grootslang Wyrmling, The Restless Devourer, is the main boss of the Nest of the Grootslangs raid. It is presumably in its juvenile stage of life as it hatched earlier than its peers. Despite the natural state of a Grootslang being relatively peaceful, it and its brood have became frenzied by Dernmites growing alongside them inside their bodies. They need to be stopped or else they will escalate the problem into a provincial emergency.

Combat

The Grootslang Wyrmling's fight is started as it emerges from the center of the arena and roars in the sky before approaching the players on the ground.

The Grootslang Wyrmling is weak to
Fire, deals damage in and resists
Earth, and is also resistant to
Thunder and
Water. It and its segments are also immune to all forms of crowd control. The main attack of the wyrmling is a standard melee AI, dealing more damage if it chains successful attacks, but the key feature that distinguishes it from other melee AI mobs are its segments. Segments each have their own amount of HP and if left alive will buff the abilities of the wyrmling. Killing a segment will also damage the head of it. The wyrmling always has at least 3 segments for the entire duration of the fight, and can have no more than 21 segments. There are also several abilities it can use throughout its fight:

• Maw Rush: The Grootslang Wyrmling will open its maw before rushing towards a spot in the arena, indicated by a line of fire particles.
• Surfshock: The Grootslang Wyrmling will jump out of the ground and burrow directly into another spot. The spot where it emerged from will have a shockwave spread out from it. The spot where the wyrmling will emerge is telegraphed by a large green ring. The shockwaves can trigger dormant stalagmites (appearing as small green circles) that burst out of the ground when triggered.
• Slime Puddles: A green glob will fall from the ceiling onto the ground, creating a toxic spot for a couple of seconds. Players that walk into the slime puddles will be poisoned.
• Loop-de-Loop: The Grootslang Wyrmling will start to ascend before descending in a loop-de-loop-like fashion. It will then enter a "soft rage" state to move more quickly and have stronger attacks for a short period of time.
• Tunnel: The Grootslang Wyrmling will burrow under the ground before reemerging sometime later. Unlike Burrowing Leaps, this attack does not produce a shockwave.
• Death Spiral: The Grootslang Wyrmling will coil around in the sky until it reaches the ceiling, dropping dirt blocks and dormant stalagmites. It will then dive straight into the ground as a massive shockwave spreads out from the spot.
• Cannibalize: The Grootslang Wyrmling will spiral up into the air as explosions appear around its mouth before it rushes towards a Grootslang Whelp. The whelp is consumed to heal some HP and regain 2 segments.
• Devour Prey: The Grootslang Wyrmling will rush towards a player and deal an immense amount of damage to them.

Alongside the Grootslang Wyrmling itself, several other Grootslang Whelps appear in the arena alongside it. They act as smaller versions of the wyrmling but do not coil up into the air. However, Grootslang Whelps can be cannibalized by the Grootslang Wyrmling in order to regain segments. Some Carnivorous Plants can also appear in the arena sporadically, firing ranged projectiles at players.

Once the Grootslang Wyrmling is killed, it will burrow into the ground before spiraling up into the sky with its mouth wide open before freezing in place and exploding into several different segments.

Trivia

• The Grootslang Wyrmling's fight was revamped in 2.1 Rekindled World. Prior to that, it was a 5-stage boss fight involving much smaller Grootslang Wyrmlings that would get progressively stronger. Each wyrmling would get its own phase as the arena got smaller. Holes could also appear in the arena that would deal a large amount of damage if landed in.
• The Grootslang Wyrmling has some unique death messages:
  • "<playername> made a fatal mistake!"
