Gahz'rilla is a level 46 elite hydra boss summoned in Zul'Farrak.
Lore
Long ago, when trolls used to occupy the land of Tanaris, they built up Zul'Farrak, the Sand Troll city in Tanaris, with a sacred pool. From that pool the trolls summoned the huge hydra Gahz'rilla, so fierce that even his scales crackle with energy. The trolls worshipped him as a deity, but the summoning of Gahz'rilla is a well-kept secret of the trolls.
Large amounts of ornaments have been modeled after the beast Gahz'rilla. These ornaments are called "Gahz'ridian", after the hydra god.
Summoning
It appears that as of the 3.0.8 patch, Gahz'rilla no longer needs to be summoned. He is simply present at the location he used to appear upon being summoned.
Fortunately, the process of summoning Gahz'rilla is written on Ancient Tablets that drop as vendor trash in the instance. The [Sacred Mallet] carried by Qiaga the Keeper in the Hinterlands can be transformed into a [Mallet of Zul'Farrak] at the Altar of Jintha'Alor. Gahz'rilla's gong can then be rung. However, it is wise to clear the area first, as Gahz'rilla can knock back players.

Strategy
All mobs around the pool should be cleared first, as Gahz'rilla will occasionally launch players through the air which may cause them to land in a group of mobs. Gahz'rilla does not automatically aggro to the players when summoned, and knockback damage can be avoided by landing in the pool of water where he is summoned.
Trivia
If the name is closely examined it sounds like "Godzilla". It also bears a close resemblance to Godzilla's opponent Ghidorah.
