In Dragonstand where we fight Mordremoth, we can see the body is like a long snake thing without big wings.

So is this Mordremoth’s real form? Which somehow looks like those Chinese dragons? Or it is like those Western dragon with big body and huge wings?

Mouth of Mordremoth is Mordremoth’s physical, reptilian body. Yes it is more of an Asian styled dragon, though I think their inspiration was Quetzalcoatl – a mesoamerican god often depicted as a snake-dragon with feathered wings.

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

Ow, thanks for the reply.
That’s interesting. But too bad we don’t have a full clear image of how Mordrem looks like haha

Oh now you are agreeing with me, hu? To quote myself from 9 months ago:

But the MoM doesn’t just look like a chinese dragon, he also looks very much like a planty version of Quetzalcoatl.

It seems my argument was convincing in the long run! :P

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

If you want to think that, sure go ahead. But I’m still going to point out that you said it looks like Quetzalcoatl. I said it looks like an Asian styled dragon, but the inspiration may have been more from Quetzalcoatl. Important difference. :P Though concept art we see is far more European styled, arguably.

Would like to see if there was any concept art for the current body…
