[Blocki.4931]

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.

Reminds me of some depictions of Cernnunos. The focus skin from the new weapon set also happens to be a torc

the green/dark minions is probably the hybrids variants from the "jormag absorved zaithan magic" introduced in ls3

[Eddbopkins.2630]

Why would it be bad if it's of grenth origin minion or w.e?

[Jimbru.6014]

For some reason I'm thinking it's similar to a mythological monster from...darn it, can't recall which mythology. Norse or maybe First Nations? Whoever mentioned the Wendigo may be close...

Mostly the tribes around the Great Lakes area talk about Wendigos. 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). Supposedly you are almost guaranteed to run into one at Skinwalker Ranch, if anyone wants to plan a road trip.

[Randulf.7614]

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

Wendigos are a thing in the Guild Wars, though they're classified as a type of minotaur and are said to be corrupted humans twisted into evil spirits. 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.

but jormag had her champion or legendary "claw of jormag" plus this creature is green colour. either grenth or Zhaitan or mordremoth . but Zhaitan is yellowly green. and mordremoth's army doesnt have deer head. maybe hybrid.

LOL... or maybe it's a ...BuildStealer. It sneaks up on you and steals your extra build slots so you have to buy more from the gem store. ;)

[nosleepdemon.1368]

As mentioned earlier, its theme seems to be heavily borrowed from the Wendigo.

Well I would think any God would want to get the power of a dragon if it could. A god with a dragons power would surely stand above all the other gods right?Maybe Dwayne will come in and stop grenth since he's the son of her. That be cool.

There won't be much information about it yet because it's a brand new creature being introduced in Whisper in the Dark. In-game we've never encountered it before, so no one knows anything about it and we'll probably find out during the episode.

All the dragons have more than one champion. 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.

Skinwalkers are certainly evil, but also fundamentally human, so I don't think that fits the Boneskinner.

The "pop culture" version of the Wendigo seems a close fit. The tribal version (which is arguably more terrifying) not so much.

i agree all dragon will have more than one of champion. but is it their colour will be the close to the dragon? like "claw" is blue , "lupi" is green, shatterer is purple etc.i think the boneskinner is either belongs to zhaitan or grenth. zhaitan's army is risen, well most of case is grenth's pet.

on the other hand necro is represent grenth that's why is green. like the warrior is orange yellow (Balthazar) . Mesmer is purple (Lyssa).

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.
