the mogu were the armies of the titans that fought against the old gods when they turned into flesh the leader of the mogu basically said "im teh boss nao rawr" and went and took out ra dens heart and ate it gaining his powers. they then carried out the titans wishes in the way they thought would be best

there is a loa-infused compy in the files but it is just a plain vanilla red raptor but with much higher res textures.
Wonder if it's a Titan or a Watcher; it could be the Titan that fell fighting C'thun / Y'rsaarj (it's not really clear whether Blizz retconned this) - in either case it's very interesting to see a model named 'captured titan.'
Whatever it is, it kinda looks like it might have a case of 'Curse of Flesh.'
If you consider that according to lore a Titan fell fighting one of these beings: why haven't we seen this titan, or at the very least his remains while scouting modern Azeroth. Would actually bet on it being him.

Pretty sure the Titan isn't Tyr, as it was mentioned that he was probably General Vezax.
He could be Golganneth, though that would be insanely powerful for a boss in this tier. Could be Ra'den, but eh, dubious.
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.
It looks like the flesh was removed in certain areas of the Titans body, which explains how the bell was made from the flesh of the Titans.
Wait, Tyr was supposed to be Vezax? Errr, wat? Can you explain this? I'm pretty new to lore and really digging learning more about this, but I'd never heard this before.
Also, agree with the "missing flesh was used to make the bell" sentiments going around. Really doubt this is a true titan, but rather what the Mogu viewed as "god" (and which Lei Shin apparently owned), simply because they did not/could not comprehend there being MORE powerful beings.
It was a theory made when Ulduar was launched, that Tyr had somehow mutated into General Vezax due to Yogg-Sarons influence.
I believe Blizzard themselves later disproved it by saying Tyr was not in Ulduar then Yogg was defeated, so Vezax couldnt have been him.
And yeah I highly doubt this "Captured Titan"/Ra-Den is Tyr. What happened to Tyr's hand if thats the case? According to wowpedia he "sacrificed his right hand in the fight against an unimagineable evil" (which I assume means the Old Gods). Tyr should have a silver right hand, the model doesnt.
Its not The titan Tyr, because Tyr is missing his right hand.
So far it's Ra-den. Whatever more he can be, we don't know. Also straight from the PTR: http://imgur.com/GgIKJ
He's not actually missing his right hand, he has a silver hand with a closed fist in it's place, which indeed this model has not.
However, back in Cata, when they released the Queen Azshara model, she also had a lot of mistakes that were fixed after, it is also possible that he is indeed Tyr but whoever was in charge of the model is not up to date with lore and will fix after.
However he is, nice to see a nice lore discussion on an expansion that many said made no sense and whose bosses were irrelevant.
I'm not so certain Lei Shen defeated him in battle. Any kind of strange deal could have been struck.
Makes no sense for the HEROIC ONLY endboss to be weaker, lore-wise, than the standard boss. Though lore-wise I suppose the same was true for Algalon/Yogg-Saron. Though we only fought a minute fraction of Yogg-Saron's true power.
I think his model is ridiculously underwhelming coming from some of the other models (Lei Shen's, notably) but I guess their hands were tied somewhat given previous representations of watchers.
A cookpot Pet!
Allways wanted one!
