Gajau can be encountered in bodies of water in the Ancient Forest and Wildspire Waste. Their materials can be used to craft the Gajau Boots.

Gajau have greenish scales with orange dorsal fins. They resemble catfish in appearance. In their original appearance in the third generation, they were classified as Fish. In World, Gajau were initially classified as Piscine Wyverns prior to being changed back into Fish with the April 19, 2018 patch.[2]

Behavior and Abilities

Gajau are vicious predatory fish; being one of the few fish species to attack hunters in the third generation. In the fifth generation, Gajau will even jump out of the water to capture prey.
