It'd be kinda cool if it was a NM that dropped rare/ex items that you could trade in for the ability to summon it.
The new NM system will be for ToAU mobs only I believe, and the story with Ix specifically mentions him showing up at the end of battles with lots of dead, just like the Sandworm. This tells me we should expect him to be a zone hoping HNM in the past and my guess is a third isn't too far off. Personally, this is the kind of HNM I want to see, something that can spawn any where, any time and kick your ass because you're not sitting there for 3 hours with your claim-bots on standby.

I sincerely doubt he's an Avatar at all, they would have specifically said he was like they've done with all the other Avatars.
