This really wouldn’t have occurred to me until I saw the Mordrem. I was swimming around beneath Dimotiki Waypoint in Frostgorge Sound when I got attacked by a corrupted Quaggan. It was frozen in their freaky death form and I thought, "…you … look like Mordrem… "

What do you think? Are a bunch of our races actually Dragon Spawn?

Asura, Charr, etc?

Puts on tinfoil hat You’ve been listening to the crazy man in the southern part of LA haven’t you? :P

Joking aside, no, because there are Risen quaggan as well. The theme is dragon minions can’t be affected/converted by another dragon.

The corrupted Quaggan in Frostgorge are Icebrood (i.e. minions of Jormag).

I somehow knew this would happen, since it was revealed Sylvari are dragon minions. Now everyone tries to prove that some random other race are dragon minions too, if it makes any sense or not doesn’t matter.
You heard it here first: Centaur are dragon minions because I never saw a corrupted one! They are minions of the Leg Dragon, that’s why they have so many legs! And my human character can still outrun them!

You don’t win friends with salad! Sorry I just got caught up in the rhythm.

Ive always thought it could be possible that quaggan could be deep sea dragonspawn in tadpole form yet to be “activated” but there are risen and icebrood quaggan which kind of contradicts that theory
However, i dont think it has been specifically stated by anet that dragon minions cant be corrupted by other dragons, thats just something people assumed because if the risen/sylvari thing but it is possible that was only a specific case, like perhaps each dragon has a corresponding dragon who is their weakness and counters the other

Why would they have a widespread kingdom both to the north and south seas, and be driven to land BY the deep sea dragon’s awakening and pushing other races out of their natural environments? (Jormag for the north).

It’s like the Norn being jormag minions… who Jormag forced to relocate south instead of just “activating” them. Obviously you aren’t say this (more a reference to the crazy tinfoil hat NPC in LA now), but the theme is the same.

No, they are not. The “enraged form” is a natural part of their biology, and they don’t really look like Mordrem at all.

Quaggans are far too spread out, coming from both the north and south, and dragon minions are generally nigh mindless. The only reason why Mordrem Guard aren’t is because they were sylvari and don’t seem to be corrupted – one of them is far enough away from Mordremoth’s call and regains itself in Act 3 (side achievement). Why sylvari are not mindless is still a question that hasn’t been answered.

There’s also no Elder Dragon who’s minions are fleshy. The closest we got was Mordremoth with plants. Unless the DSD turns out to be an Elder Dragon of Animals, no flesh and blood creature will be Elder Dragon minions.

Further, Dragon minions do not reproduce. Quaggan clearly do.

Quaggan can be corrupted, it seems to be dragon minions cannot naturally corrupt each other, the only multi-corruption that occurs is forced by the inquest, and it doesn’t seem that the artificial minions are even loyal to their respective dragons (They may be, it’s just not shown). It wouldn’t make sense for them to be loyal to a dragon since they’d have to be loyal to many, so being loyal to their inquest controllers would be more logical, and once again, they do appear to be loyal to the inquest, not the dragons.

I wouldn’t call Subject Alpha loyal to the Inquest.

What about Risen though? Super gross rotting flesh, sure, but still flesh.

I think he means a natural/normal race being revealed as a dragon minion race. I agree, we won’t see a flesh and blood race shown as being a dragon minion race all along :P.

There is Risen and Icebrood Quaggan.
Draconic Corruptions can’t mix.
Quaggan aren’t Dragon minions in their natural state.

~Nothing says draconic corruption cannot mix. The sylvari are protected from dragon corruption by the Dream. Even Mordrem Guards aren’t corrupted as seen by the one in the Rata Novus instance (talking to whom is an achievement).~
