Heh, I noticed pictures of these dolphins a few months ago and showed them to my boyfriend saying the same thing. They really do look identical if you only see their heads. Makes me wonder if quaggans were modeled after them. ._.

Yeah, they were (partly) designed after Irrawaddy Dolphins.

They kind of were.

“The quaggans originally showed up as more roly-poly, almost cartoony creatures, and they were quickly adopted as a cute aquatic race. Their original round appearance proved challenging to rig for animation, so they went through a number of iterations, at one point slimming down and becoming more like dolphins. Later they regained some of their weight but retained a beaver-shaped tail from earlier designs.”

That’s actually pretty interesting. Before I saw pictures of that species, I’d never have thought Quaggans were modeled after any kind of dolphins.

Just noticed that on the Quaggan wiki page, it also mentions in the Trivia section that their faces are very similar to the Irrawaddy dolphins. It’s so entertaining knowing a real species has that same dopey Quaggan smile.

A few months back, a dev mentioned that Quaggans were modelled after the Manatee

I think actually alot of sea mammals influenced the apperance of quaggans, orcas for the black quaggan for example.

Kill it with fire!
