Zekvir is a nerubian hulk boss found in Zekvir's Lair. He also has a chance to ambush adventurers during a normal delve. While in an encounter with other mobs in a delve, a message Zekvir has breached the Delve! will appear with Zekvir joining in on the fight. During this time, getting Zekvir to 50% health or lower will cause him to burrow and leave behind a Hulking Raptorial Claw otherwise, killing all adventurers will promptly have him leave the delve with no reward left behind.
