Guild Wars 2

What is this supposed to be? I thought it was a charr at first, but it has 4 arms. It isn’t a krait because it has legs

A charr wearing another critter. Those other 2 arms don’t belong to it.

Edit: On second thought, maybe it’s just corrupted.

I’m not exactly sure where that one’s from (Kekai Kotaki’s website?), but another version was an unused piece of concept art for the canceled GW1 campaign Utopia.

I just found it on the “Concept Art” page of Guildwars2.com

Ah, I see. My best guess would be that the piece was reworked to portray a risen charr.

Speaking of concept art. That one loading screen with the b-iconics is great.

In my opinion, I think it’s actually a Krait. Its reptilian looks and lack of horns make me think it’s not a Charr and it doesn’t look decayed enough to even be an undead Charr.

In addition, the Krait’s concept art for GW(linked bellow) has some similar features like it’s neck skin and the tattoos.

As for it’s legs and extra set of arms, Krait in GW1 had the ability “Metamorphosis” to change their bodies. One such form was the Krait Necross, which was coincidentally bipedal and had two extra arms.(linked bellow)
