Stumbled across this in the Grawl cave. Any thoughts on species?

I’m pretty sure those are remains of a Giganticus Lupicus (of one or more), though it’s not confirmed I believe.

Slighty bigger than usual Lupicus if you ask me.

Slighty bigger than usual Lupicus if you ask me.

Let’s see:

  1. There are at least two known species of Giganticus Lupicus (we know from GW1 times), and their mature size is not really known; size could also change from one species to another.
  2. The only real and alive (well, technically it was an undead, but still… it was fleshy) representation of a True Giant was said to have been scaled down for gameplay reasons (like what happened with Zhaitan).
  3. In that pic you linked there’s no frame of reference, so it’s hard to tell their actual size. Also that pic is from GW1, designs can change when porting to GW2.
  4. The skull actually resembles that of a canidae (again, similar to the undead Lupicus found in Arah).

Just saying…

Would have to say that is a Giganticus Lupicus. Pic for reference of one up close. Slightly smaller than GW1. But then again it could easily be an adolescents skull. Or humans could have grown a couple extra feet in the past 250 years.

The skull in the OP can also be found in the SW pylon in AB and a few other places.

It reminded me of the GW1 giant skulls, but they’re all much smaller than those.

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

Nice catch, I totally forgot about those.
