Guild Wars 2

So this was “kinda” brought up in another thread, and I’m sure it’s been discussed at length before, but what if the Great Jungle Wurm is actually one of Mordremoths champions?

According to the wiki, it’s believed that the GJW is part of “something darker” then the nightmare court. Which to me, says “Mordremoth”.

It’s also been suggested that the Husks are tied together with the GJW. And we’ve seen “normal” Husks, Nightmare Husks (Husks that have been taken and used by the Nightmare court), and Mordrem Husks (Which apparently are Husks that have been corrupted by Modremoth.)

What confuses me, is that IF the GJW is a champion/minion of Mordemoth, then by extension the Husks would also be minions. BUT we see Mordrem Husks. Which means that Mordremoths Husk minions have been corrupted by Mordremoth….Yeah doesn’t really fit.

So where does that leave the GJW? It doesn’t seem likely that it is a champion of Mordremoth. Is it tied to the Three Headed Jungle Wurm? Or something else?

So many questions!!!

That one of the mysterys of Tyria.

There are rumors something drove the GJW into the location where it is now but no one knows if this is true or not.

When the 5 champions attack the fortress in Silverwastes we see Jungle Wurms poping out of the ground and we fight the 5 champions inside the Jungle Wurms which is what caught my attention the most during the Silverwate events

Not to mention when we “Kill” the GJW it is not actually dead but when the events reset you can see it wake up and go back underground assuming to put itself back together.

Hopefully there will be more answers than questions in HoT storyline since we are going into the Maguuma Jungle which is assumed to be the origin of the GJW.

What if…

The “Jungle Wurms” are ACTUALLY a part of Mordremoth itself!?
As in they are extensions of it’s actual body….
Similar to the Mouths and Eyes of Zhaitan? But attached, and not as mobile?

But that still doesn’t explain the Husks….

Considering we know each Elder Dragon should be a live but uses their own means to see and eat from far away locations it may not be far from the turth.

We know the Tendrils is how Mordremoth reachs things and tracks down magic as his means to See.

However, we don’t know how does Mordremoth’s eats so the Jungle Wurms may be his means to Eat Magic.

Wychmire stuff is called Blighted (Blighted Husk, Blighted Grub, Avatars if Blight,etc.).

In the new achievements for beta, one of the events mentioned that’s new talks about a Blighting Tree.

Coincidence?

Blighted > Mordrem

Since I have a bit more time than I thought, a bit more in-detail post:

I think you’re misunderstanding something.

Blighted Husks != Summoned Husks != Mordrem Husks

All three differ in allegiance. The Wychmire creatures are tied to that ‘greater darkness’ and roam independent of the Nightmare Court despite them both being in the swamp area. Summoned Husks (rarely called Nightmare Husks) are of a different appearance than the Avatars of Blight (which show a more rotten appearance) which again differ from the Mordrem Husks.

It would appear that Blighted Husks are the offshoots of the Wychmire corruption, while summoned Husks are creations of the Nightmare Court – whom we know are mordrem – and the Mordrem Husks are either created by the Vinewrath or are creations of either/both the Wychmire corruption and/or the NC which have ‘returned’ to Mordremoth’s fold.

Ultimately meaning this: same ‘creature’, different immediate origins/current state of being, shared ultimate origins.

Actually, we see no wurms. What we see are mouths which look more like GW1 wurm mouths (that is, very similar to Dune’s wurms or that one pit the name of which I cannot recall atm from Star Wars Ep 6 – circular rows of teeth).

The inside does seem to use the Triple Trouble wurm-inside texture, but it’s not certain that they’re intended to be the same. It very easily could be shared textures and what we’re inside is not a wurm but the vines (from the outside, I believe if you break the map, we see vines covering these ‘insides’).

Jungle Wurms are stated to be born from eggs in one of the Metrica Province heart – no different than ice wurms or plain wurms.

So I doubt they’re a physical part of Mordremoth.

Now, minions of mordremoth seems likely given that they’ve only been around in the past 250 years. But there’s one caveat to that idea: This ghostly Root Behemoth uses a jungle wurm model (warning: no image on wiki).

False. Taimi’s line is only referring to the tendrils that were attacking the waypoints – no longer visible in-game. The other vines/tendrils are minions and corruption.

And they aren’t his means to see, but eat magic.
