Curse

In Rhea's Crater, just north of seafarer's rest, there is an enemy called Focus of Hanaku. It is level 24, and looks like a kraken spawn. I killed this enemy with my Mo/Me the other day (going for legendary survivor title, and hence looking to cap elites), and was unable to use signet of capture (There is no dead boss in range).

This is confusing.

The enemy had no aura that I could see.
It did double damage with attacks. (Power Surge for 160)
It seemed to take longer to kill than a normal kraken spawn would have.
It dropped a green when it died. (Hanaku's Focus, 20/20 domination)
Killing it did not give me morale.
I was unable to use a signet of capture (no dead boss nearby)

I contacted support, and they said:

"...Unfortunately, we can not offer support for this issue. We encourage you in having a look at the various web sites, forums and articles on the net, where you should be able to quickly find an answer/solution to your query."

So, I guess I'm supposed to post it here. Has this happened to other people?

It seems pretty clear that the monster is supposed to be a boss (green), and is not implemented as such.

Is energy surge a tyria-only elite by any chance? (mursaat mesmers use it) That might explain it - they might not want people capping tyrian elites in cantha.

That would be my guess as well. Might have been planned as a boss and then removed for some reason, or it's a bug that'll be fixed later.

This is from GuildWiki:

Focus of Hanaku is a unique Kraken mesmer who always spawns at the same location in Rhea's Crater. While it does drop a unique item, it isnt a boss.
