I know this happened a long time ago but is it possible that te quark is turning into Zhaitan to replace him? This has been really hugging me ever since I beat teq again last week.

That was one of the more common theories present during Tequatl Rising. Another common theory was that Zhaitan’s power was simply seeping to all his minions (thus explaining the Orrian Risen’s size increase update and the Temple metas’ increased difficulty in lore-terms too).

We simply don’t know and have no real indication to argue one way or another though.

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

I hope it was just a game balance thing, but I guess you have a point. Technically, Tequatl should have been dead chronologically speaking…

We never kill the beast – it retreats. So no, chronologically speaking it’d still be alive.

Well, it’s not entirely clear whether it simply retreats or if it is killed and a new one takes its place like the Shatterer. In the latter scenario though, the whole “it gets stronger with every defeat” wouldn’t work unless it’s getting stronger not because it’s learning like the NPCs claim, but because whatever’s making them stronger is being divided less than less (thus each individual is gaining more and more of whatever “it” would be – think of the movie The One ).

Also, worth to mention that upon a successful run, it loses the tip of the tail. But on the next one, it is fully grown again. Either it is regenerated, or another one is taking the place of the previous dragon.

And no one is taking the chance to make a BBQ of all those tails.

That’s still ongoing? Thought it ended with the LW ending. Anyways, I wouldn’t recommend barbequing those tails…

That Tequatl tail is stinkier than Braham after a battle.

Rytlock Brimstone: Soldier! Report! Where’s my Tequatl tail?
Rox: Back where I’m bunking, sir! I’ll go get it immediately.
Rytlock Brimstone: Wait. You took down Tequatl.
Rox: As reported, sir. I sent you a missive requesting an audience.
Rytlock Brimstone: Hm. Been busy. But I’m here now.
Rox: Should I go get the tail and bring it to you, Tribune?
Rytlock Brimstone: No. I don’t need a slab of decaying meat.
Rox: But I…I’ve been hauling it around for weeks.
Rytlock Brimstone: Ooh. I bet that smell sticks to your gear.

Decaying meat can’t be healthy. Or tasty.

Well, of course! She didn’t refrigerate it. You have to cook it right there and then or take it to the Shiverpeaks for more proper keeping.

And what’s ongoing?

Yeah but eating Risen mean makes you one.

The opposite of traditional zombies!

Huh, and in my mind came this:

“Serve Zhaitan today! Eat the tail of the dragon you just killed!”
