Q:
New dragon champion?
Do we know that it’s a dragon champion?
It kinda looks like if Claw of Jormag mutated into a chicken.
All we know is it is a recent addition to the .dat file.
… I was going to say the front half of a reef drake with wings, but I like yours better.
In all seriousness, it could be a dragon minion based on a Wyvern (hands on its wings instead of arms.)
It would be nice to see dragons that aren’t on the world boss level again. I don’t know much about the .dat- is there any scale on the model?
It really reminds to reef drakes, but those 2 tiny legs look weird on it, I guess I will have to see fully animated. Which dragon do you think could be its master? The crest look like sea material.
Going on the details of the model, it looks a little amphibious to me, but highly skeletal (the legs and spine). The shape looks weird as Hell though, even for a wyvrn interpretation which would, by influence, imply Jormag – the skeletal concept would fit him too, given the Dragonspawn and Claw of Jormag bring partially skeletal.
Mayhaps a redesign of Drakkar? The head fits, if I’m looking at it right, scales almost do.
Presuming it’s a dragon. Which it may not be.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
If you read the total of that_shaman’s post, you’ll also read about the upcoming kites. This is most likely a kite design, not a new champion.
