Guild Wars 2

Just curious if the dragon form of the Storm Wizard has an official name. I’ve checked the combat log and the large portrait above the health bar, but it’s entirely missing a printed name.

You will now witness his true form!

I’m going with True Form

Cloud Dragon?

Storm Dragon?

I don’t think he has an official name.

On a related note, does anyone know what video game this boss is inspired by?

King toad of the funghus kingdom is an obvious reference to Wart from Super Mario brothers 2 (see attachment) but I have no idea what the Storm Wizard would be. The dragon destroying platforms reminds me of Megaman somewhat…

EDIT: actually, he’s probably inspired by the “Dragonlord” from the original Dragon Warrior (which later became Dragon Quest) who starts off as a weak wizard and turns into his ‘true form’ after taking enough damage.

I call it Shenron…

Actually, it was Dragon Quest first. They changed the name of the first game to Dragon Warrior when it was brought over to North America. By the time game 7 was released here, brand loyalty had instilled enough familiarity with the series’ real name, so they went back to Dragon Quest.
