Teratus.2859 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Anyone else noticed that the 3 headed Sea Dragon concept art has been modified and added to our Forum profiles in anticipation for End of Dragons? When did this happen? pretty sure that was blank the last time I checked a profile lol Some of us have long speculated that the Deep Sea Elder Dragon may have a Hydra design based off that concept artwork. But adding it to our forum profiles like that, could this be a hint or confirmation that the in game Dragon will indeed have multiple heads? It's got me curious, what do you guys think?

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I hope not, its a pretty lame way of revealing the most mysterious ED of GW2, plus I've never been a fan of two-(or multi)headed creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zityz.6089 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I don't know if the DSD will be a hydra-like type, as Zhaitan also had multiple heads and each dragon as looked vastly different from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson.5160 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Multi headed dragon, with each elder dragon head on it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhaitan is less of a "multi-headed dragon" and more of a "dragon made out of dragons" though. There are dragon heads on his skin, and all that. I think the DSD being a hydra styled dragon would be significantly different from Zhaitan. Edited May 31, 2021 by Konig Des Todes.2086 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodama.6453 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I hope not, this design is generic and boring. I personally want the deep sea dragon to look very untraditional for a dragon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same - It would be awesome imo if the DsD was some kind of tentacled eldrich horror style monster that lurks deep on the ocean floor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. It'd still need to be primarily draconic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhywolver.8250 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 What if the DSD is not even solid most of the time, but fluid and often invisible. Imagine the waters slowly becoming darker, an eldritch horror that materializes and disappears as he likes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be much different from many of the other EDs abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 DSD will be a turtle dragon. Great big snapping turtle, with a looooonnnngggggg neck that makes you think it's a sea serpent, but then you go to fight it, and think it's coming out of some underwater mountain. Nope. That's its shell. And the tip of the shell is Shing Jea Island. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would make it really fun, is if prior to that reveal we had been fighting around that area, exploring cave systems in said underwater mountain, fighting its minions in the area only for us to have been there around DSD the whole time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It woke up in the deepest depths of the Unending Ocean, where the krait lived. And due to engine limitations, I seriously doubt we'll get an Elder Dragon bigger than Kralkatorrik.

You can have a three-headed draconian beast without the body being primarily traditional european styled dragon body.

Turtle Dragons were a thing in Gw Factions though so I could definitely see the DSD having some elements of Turtle in it's design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsdood.1987 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I doubt they'd reveal it like that and I doubt its any sort of final design of the DSD, remember that they used Zhaitan's old concept art for cinematics even after they already settled on his new look, ANet generally has a track record of being inconsistent when it comes to Elder Dragon concept art, their old look and their new look, ontop of that they also like to stick concept arts everywhere as pretty stuff to look at even if the final product is completely different I wouldn't look too deeply into this forum profile decoration banner, I think its just there to set the mood and not much else and even if it is a foe we'll encounter, could just be a champion and so on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda feels like a hint because of that but it probably isn't.. but maybe it is 😮 lol Fun topic for discussion either way, I always enjoy hearing peoples theories etc about the Sea Dragon and what they think it will looks like. I just hope this Dragon is done exceptionally well, I can't handle another disappointing Dragon lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They barely had time to swap out the model with the original after animating it, and couldn't even create a proper finale with half of Orr bugging out. They didn't have time to swap out all the other concept art which did match the original model for Zhaitan. If ANet had waited an extra three months (or didn't divert some devs to an apparent side project three months before releasing GW2 based on some LinkedIns), then we might've seen a consistency in it all.

Are there any leaks of the original model for Zhaitan? I'd like to see those if possible. Personally I was never a big fan of the in game Zhaitan model, I always preferred the more traditional looking Dragon design that he had in some of the concept art and in game cutscenes.. or better yet the utter abomination design featured in concept art like this.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/8/80/"The_Dragon_Head"_concept_art.jpg Either would have been better than noodle mouth Zhaitan lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
