Claws of Ursoc

The Claws of Ursoc,  [Claws of Ursoc] (main hand) and  [Claws of Ursoc] (off-hand), are the artifacts used by Guardian Druids in World of Warcraft: Legion.

Description

Forged from titansteel by the titanic watcher Keeper Freya, these claws were her gift to the great bear Ursoc, one of the Wild Gods. He wielded the claws in countless battles until his death during the War of the Ancients. Although his body faded away, the claws remained, and legends say a fragment of his spirit lingered within them. After wrestling the claws away from Ursoc's furbolg followers, a band of druids took the claws to the Emerald Dream, sought out Ursoc's spirit, and returned the claws to him for safekeeping.^[1]

Notes and trivia

• Rather than changing the weapon's model, changing the artifact appearance will instead change the model for your [Bear Form].
  • Based on race there are different colors of the default artifact druid form appearance. These colorations aren't available for all races unlike all other appearances.
• Encountering Archdruid Glaidalis with the claws triggers a special conversation.
• Aranelle comments on the weapon.
• The timewalking Mage Tower, added in patch 9.1.5, rewards Guardian druids with a recolor of the Might of the Grizzlemaw appearance. The recolor is black with fel-green eyes and tattoos. This is the only version of Might of the Grizzlemaw that can be unlocked without having completed the Mage Tower challenge during its original run in Legion.
• Among wild bears in Dragonflight there are those whose appearance is an unarmored version of the Guardian of the Glade appearance.
