Leviathan (As described in the Bible, Book of Job):

1 Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?3 Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words?4 Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?5 Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?6 Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!9 Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering.10 No-one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.12 I will not fail to speak of his limbs, his strength and his graceful form.13 Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle?14 Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?15 His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;16 Each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.17 They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.18 His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.20 Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.22 Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.24 His chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.25 When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing.26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.27 Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.28 Arrows do not make him flee, sling stones are like chaff to him.29 A club seems to him but a piece of straw, he laughs at the rattling of the lance.30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing-sledge.31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair.33 Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature without fear.34 He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.

A gigantic two headed serpent could simply be named Set or Seti.
The “et” supports ettin, two headed).
The Jungle Wurm and the Evolved Wurm (3 headed) fit as spawn too.

A Cthulhu derivative might be copyright protected. I think also it is expected to begin with “S” based on clues in LS2/ Also the Sclerite weapons might be a clue

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure that the Sclerite weapons are named as such because they have those creepy blinky eyes on them. The Sclera is the medical term for the white part of the eye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclera

More likely they’re named Sclerite weapons because sclerite is a term for hard body parts, such as the shells of crustaceans.

And aside from the blinking eye and oozing ink, the Sclerite weapons appear to be hardened shells of sorts.

That said, Zhaitan is named after Shaitan, and Jormag seems to come from Jormangundr, etc. So having an Elder Dragon take inspiration from a real life term is far from unique.

Trepzacoatl, inspired in the winged serpent from the mesoamerican civilizations Quetzalcoatl.

It’s time to have a bit more diversity in dragon’s design and morphology, all dragons in GW2 seem to come from the western fantasy concept and nordic mythology (or at least they’re inspired by them). I think a great serpent will fit the underwater role perfectly.

You haven’t seen Mordremoth yet, have you?

Spoilers: The Mouth of Mordremoth is Mordremoth’s actual physical body. It’s a giant half-plant half-reptilian snake.

The only dragons in GW2 that are inspired by European mythology are the dragon champions like Tequatl, The Shatterer, etc. Zhaitan roughly resembles this but he’s far more like a patchwork of dragons both serpentine and western, but Mordremoth far more resembles the Asian dragon concept (especially his head).

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
