The Call of Octothulu

The Call of Octothulu is a quest with a boss known as Octothulu. It was released on June 10, 2014. Defeating this boss will unlock the Octopus Quest Pet. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Market for 4 gems.

This quest is one of the harder quests to undertake. The boss has enough health (1200 HP) to take a sustained amount of time to defeat for small parties without Mages and Warriors; a party of 4 that only does an average of 10 damage per party member will take a month to complete this quest. Your party would benefit from having a Healer if party members are prone to missing more than a few Dailies, since each missed Daily causes more damage to the entire party.

Description
@Urse, a wild-eyed young scribe, has asked for your help exploring a mysterious cave by the sea shore. Among the twilight tidepools stands a massive gate of stalactites and stalagmites. As you near the gate, a dark whirlpool begins to spin at its base. You stare in awe as a squid-like dragon rises through the maw. "The sticky spawn of the stars has awakened," roars @Urse madly. "After vigintillions of years, the great Octothulu is loose again, and ravening for delight!"

Objective(s)
Defeat Octothulu.

On Completion
With a final blow, the creature slips away into the whirlpool from which it came. You cannot tell if @Urse is happy with your victory or saddened to see the beast go. Wordlessly, your companion points to three slimy, gargantuan eggs in a nearby tidepool, set in a nest of gold coins. "Probably just octopus eggs," you say nervously. As you return home, @Urse frantically scribbles in a journal and you suspect this is not the last time you will hear of the great Octothulu.

Trivia
Urse's quote is an almost-direct quote from The Call of Cthulhu, a story about a more famous tentacled beast who slumbers for vigintillions of years, and awakes ravening for delight. A vigintillion years is 10^63, or a million million million million million million million million million million millennia.
