Guild Wars 2

It’s been established that there is one Deep Sea Elder Dragon that has yet to be named. The community nicknamed it Bubbles (I think). Now that we know that his name starts with an “s”, what do you think his name is? My money is on Selbbub because Bubbles spelled backwards. :P

Stubbles.

I second Selbbub. It is only logical if its name starts with an S.

Scubastevus.

That’s more like a dinosaur name than a dragon name, Gnat. :/

Simurgh (I don’t even care if the DSD can’t fly, Simurgh is a cool name)

Isn’t the Simurgh a legendary bird though? (Similar to the Garuda or Phoenix.)

A bit more serious, I’m going to go with Scleritethin that I made as a joke until we get something better and not silly sounding like Bubbles or Steve.

Reasoning:

1. Sclerite weapons (and the Consortium Harvesting Tool) have a design that would, to me, indicate some form of corruption; the Sclerite Karka Shell has tentacles (the one and only attribute given to DSD’s minions). Though Sclerite is effectively the shells of crustaceans, I don’t think this outright discounts the potential as minion name, given that all dragon minions are named after “what they are” or “what they look like” (icebrood – a brood made of ice; branded – named after the Dragonbrand; Mordrem – comes from Mordremoth; Risen – corpses that have risen; Destroyers – creatures who destroy relentlessly). So dragon minions that look like hardened shells would no doubt be called something to represent that.
2. Scleritethin itself was a joke off of Mordrem/Mordremoth, but I could see something similar to it happening, in all honesty. Most dragon names are names or words taken from elsewhere, and altered minutely (Zhaitan – Shaitan, aka Satan in Islam; Primordus – Prime, first; Jormag – Jormagundr; Kralkatorrik – some argue Krakatoa, a volcano, and Kralky was thought to be a mountain range while in hibernation by charr, though I would argue one of a onomatopoeia for the sound of thunder: krak-a-thoom). So the DSD’s name being an alteration of Sclerite makes perfect sense.

A counter argument, however, would be in this:

GuildMag: In The Secret of Southsun and Last Stand at Southsun, some strange tentacles were added to the Karka Hive. On top of that, there was the Sclerite Backpack featuring similar tentacles. The only bit about the deep sea dragon is that it twists water into tentacle minions; are these tentacles tied to the deep sea dragon, or to the karka? Neither? Both?

Short answer: neither. Long answer: only to the karka, and only kind of. The tentacles on the karka hive and the Sclerite Backpack are meant to be evocative of the effect Canach’s Fervid Censer toxin had on the island’s inhabitants, especially the karka.

Though that doesn’t refer to the weapons, just the tentacles of the karka hive and karka backpack.

Yes but I don’t care
Also mythology isn’t so clear cut with animal species. Mythologies from around the world quite often have some kind of large flying beast – some places have dragons, some places have ‘birds’. Maybe they’re they same things (except that they aren’t real but whatever).

Shiny is a saltspray dragon though.

Squirtle

(not my proposal, I don’t remember who to attribute to, but was hilarious nonetheless).

Smaug? Is that you buddy? Got lootz?

Who’s that Elder Dragon?!

Some variation of Shesha

Couldn’t resist :P

“……”

Its minions speak in extremely high frequencies so we can never hear its true name, but we know it must be pure evil because whenever a minion speaks it, it drives the nearby ranger pets insane…. especially the dogs.

How about “Skreeeeeeeonk”!?

wow… nobody said Scarlet. The forum is doomed.

Because the Elder Dragon Scleritethin existed long before Scarlet. And she be dead. Deader than dead.

Sally as an abbreviation.

I think dragon’s name will have something to do with a word “serpent”.

The people who name things in this game seem to like the word “Leviathan” a lot

Scylla, Ceto, Cetus

These are greek sea monsters[Ceto is Greek Goddess of Sea Monsters] which could work. The C’s in Ceto and Cetus could be altered to versions with an S.

Super Bubbles

Scally the Silly Singing Sea Serpent!

Serpentera

for old times’ sake…

Fun fact:

in the final instance of E5’s story steps, where the diagram on the ceiling is, there is a Priory Historian that states he thinks that the translators got it wrong – because the name was only in portion, and in an ancient form of old Krytan – which used a hard-to-translate format where the symbol’s meaning changes based on what comes before and after it.

So the DSD’s name actually may not start with an S.

Scylla

Named from a seas monster in Greek mythology.

God of War had a cool rendition of it.

Making the baseless assumption that the Deap Sea Dragon looks like an Asian type of dragon and that Kuunavang is related to him somehow……

Seiryu – Azure Dragon?

Shiryu – Dragon King?

This is if it starts with an S…if not, its going to be like a 1 in 100,000 guess unless we get more information

I thought some of the references to this dragon was going to be pulled out of the Lovecraft Mythos. A word play on the name of Shoggoth would be my first guess.
