Blocki.4931 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 That's the "Boneskinner", a monster that will "haunt" us. It's been talked about on streams (and their big announcement in the theater) and we've seen concept art of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendigos basically hate everything and are supposed to represent greed as cannibalism is one of the triggers into becoming one (from what I've found). Skinwalker would be another close-ish one that is from the tribes of the American Southwest. That one is basically a shaman or person gone evil by performing a murder of a family member or necrophilia (from what I've found).

Randulf.7614 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Given it doesn't really fit the setting, a corrupted Wendigo type creature or a corrupted Spirit of the Wild have both been mooted as possibilities. I imagine Jormag might still have some remnants of Zhaitans magic after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An NPC in GW2 also makes mention of wendigos while telling a joke, but given that we haven't seen any in the game and that she's casually joking about it, it'd be a good guess that between GW1 and GW2, wendigos stopped showing up as frequently (or may even be considered extinct like gargoyles).If I had to guess, I'd say the Boneskinner is some type of champion belonging to Jormag, maybe made from a Norn shaman twisted into an antlerbeast for the glory of aesthetic evil.

As well as the Claws ones we've seen for Jormag include Drakkar, the Nornbear (Svanir) in GW1, and the Icebrood Ogre at the end of A Crack in the Ice, which also had some plant abilities absorbed from Mordremoth, and others I can't remember right now.Incidentally Dhumm and player necromancers also have black and green colour schemes. I think it's just the colours associated with death magic and not from any specific creature which uses death magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "pop culture" version of the Wendigo seems a close fit. The tribal version (which is arguably more terrifying) not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually kept up with the story all of the gods LEFT Tyria. They legit have no reason to absorb dragon magic because Kormir and the other gods agreed to the fact that they themselves are too dangerous.The only one that EVER had interest in the dragons was Balthazar because he is a literal god of conquest. The same god that led the humans to go and conquer the charr lands. Of COURSE a war god would want that power ?Grenth would have no reason on wanting to expand the underworld because he specifically dethroned and took Dhuum's place who wanted the whole world to experience death and he become chief god. And obviously we have the Dhuum raid to explain the outcome of Dhuum so....Your assumption literally has no grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
