Blood Death Knight: Maw of the Damned

Legion artifact · 20 appearances you can still get · hidden appearance: Touch of Undeath

The Maw's thirst is unquenchable. If it is not fed fresh victims, it will not hesitate to drink from its wielder instead.

In-game item text

The artifact has six appearance sets of four tints. What the game shows as each tint's unlock condition is printed under it, and an unlock counts for every death knight on your account. Ticks save in this browser and show on the Death Knight page and the classes hub.
