Talk:Deep Sea Dragon

So let's get started on crazy speculation already
A direct quote from "The movement of the world" says: "In the deepest waters of the sea, another dragon breathed, twisting the waters themselves into tentacled horrors that rose from every lake and river of the land."

So, the deepest water of the sea, you would expect to be pretty far away from the shore. This thing has to involve teticles. Well how about this? If you open your prophecies manual up to page 23 you'll find a map of tyria along with some text below it. You may notice a creature, located here. Can't quite make it out? Here it is close up. That sea seems pretty deep to me. Plus it's not like the devourer you can see in the top right of the map in Ascalon, because we know what that is and we've seen it in the game. However this thing we haven't, nothing has been mentioned about it. The pictures must have come from somewhere, no? - 07:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The picture makes me think of a 1980s RPG.
 * Oh right, argument time. I've noticed 1980 looks like a deep sea _octopus_, while the article says Deep Sea _Dragon_
 * I dunno how that's gonna work, but 1980 is now the coolest octopus alive. - Yikey 09:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not sure exactly if the tenticles are made of water or are actually a part of it. If you look closely it looks fatter than it actually is, and that may just be his head anyway. All I know is it has tenticles and it's in sea that could well be the deepest in tyria. -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 16:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

You never know-"Drakkar" looks more like a plesiosaur than a dragon but he still is one (unless Anet pull a fast one on us and tell us that the "dragon" in ice cliff chasms is the true far shiverpeaks dragon...lol). I was thinking that each dragon will reflect their enviroment in terms of appearance (e.g. desert dragon having sand coming out of his joints,undead dragon of orr having rotting flesh and bones etc.), seeing as the enviroment has grown around them. That said, i think the deep sea dragon will have clams and barncales embedded in his skin, part of a ships mast and gills on him. People of tyria, you better bloody well get ready.
 * Well, i think that kraken thingy is there because the map is like ancient maps back form the days they hadn't explored far oceans in fear of sea monsters, and in some they drew those monsters in unexplored areas of the sea based on speculations. I'd think that would be the original explanation to that thing there, because they probably weren't planning GW2 since the release of prophecy... Although, now, they might use that to put the dragon there, maybe a lucky coincidence they decide do take advantage of, but seems nice to me... and the thing about the dragon looking like the enviroment, i really think that could happen, and a sea dragon could easilly have tentacles himself, or he could make him some out of water... its all guesses, and we will know once gw2 is out :P

Well, if this Dragon is in the middle of the ocean, we'll need a few Istani fleets... Luke Danger 22:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's far fetched, I know. And much is still in question (Though I've followed the Drakkar debate closely and I've contributed to it too, so I'm sure on that one). But yeah..
 * I like the idea of them puting that on the map as if to warn explorers of a deep sea crature of some form, which logically does make sense. Obviously we'd need a better picture in order to tell what the tenticles are made out of, though I admitthey look like part of the creature and not water-made. Only time will tell...Also I don't think istan is doing all too well itself, so I think we'll be a few ships short of a fleet. lets say, about a fleet short. -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 00:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Why is noone questioning how close it is to the undead dragon like they are with the air dragon and drakkar?


 * You hold a good point, but keep in mind no one knows where this creature is, so there's know way to tell where abouts it is exactly. It could be somewhere a big closer to the ring of fire islands for all we know. You might be right judging by the map, but then again it might have been put in that spot for representation of where abouts roughly it is. I don't know -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 16:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it will stay underwater? I'm not sure. And about it being close to orrian dragon, i think this sin't too much of a concern, as the DS dragon will probably just stay underwater, doing his evil things from there.
