Tatselwurm

Tatselwurm is an environmental cave boss at the Briar Sloughs / Maragir Wealds border. It is a set-piece in the cave rather than a structured duel — short, contained, and defined by the loot it guards. The cave is on the world map, the Moult of a Large Lizard it guards is in the equipment database, and its full profile is in the creature wiki.
