Asura

Asura is the name of a miniature officially announced by ArenaNet as a promotional offer available through various gaming magazines.

The "full size" creature corresponding to the miniature cannot be found anywhere in the game yet. It is assumed to belong to a future addition to the Guild Wars game series of some kind.
