Talk:Dragonspawn

The Dragonspawn was killed by Destiny's Edge wasn't it. So shouldn't the article be in past tense. Ex: he was Jormag's champion. (173.156.157.180 00:48, 14 January 2011 (UTC))

Shaman

In the book, he's sometimes called "shaman". Anyone know anything more about that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RhoninGreymane (talk • contribs).

Edit request

Request to remove the concept art, as it holds no relation to the Dragonspawn. It appears more to be a corrupted version of the Greater Ice Elemental (e.g., The Frozen Maw, Snowblind Fractal). Konig 07:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm uncertain if you noticed this, but the current concept art has a...thing inside the ice, similar to what the description states; which the Maw or anything else in the game - don't. --Ventriloquist 08:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I noticed. I noticed it immediately when I saw it long before. But that thing inside is nothing akin to the description of the Dragonspawn. Unless you intend to tell me that looks like a minotaur/cattle skull as a head? The Dragonspawn never had such a description to its blizzard, never had an elemental. If it did, I'd love to see where in the book it does. Yes, the Greater Ice Elemental lacks such, but as you'd note, I said "appears more to be" and not "is" - as in, it is more similar to a corrupted Greater Ice Elemental than it is to the Dragonspawn, which was a basically a frozen skeleton with blue mist flowing from it. I never meant to say that it is that Greater Ice Elemental - the concept art for such was used as the Dredgehaunt Cliffs loading screen, it seems to me.

Let me rephrase: the concept art holds no relation to the Dragonspawn, and there's no basis for its description, which itself says that it is something similar to the storm the Dragonspawn created (which I disagree with) - outright stating that it is not related to the Dragonspawn, but just that it holds apparent similar appearance.

Since I'm not much of a lore expert, it states "...similar to the ice storm the Dragonspawn became shortly before its death.". Was its appearance different between the living and near-death phases or has it retained its cattle-skull-white-robes look even when on the brink of death? If that's the case, then the image should be removed as it has no relation to the Dragonspawn, and it could easily trick readers into thinking it looked something akin to that, when in reality it's something much, much different. --Ventriloquist 23:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I recently re-read that section in EoD, and its death throes was, after its body being torn apart by the icebrood it was disconnected from, it became a blizzard. Nothing like that concept art by the description - just a bunch of small shards of ice and bone that consumed the icebrood, spreading larger with _their_ ice and bone. Not a giant version of this thing with a creature within its central block of ice.

For sake of reference: The icebrood tore into the Dragonspawn. They ripped off its icy arms and cracked open its body and shattered its head. Each time a shard came away, though, the storm of energies around the Dragonspawn whipped wider. It became a whirling cyclone. Its circling arms bashed into its attackers. [...] The swirling storm of blue magic around the Dragonspawn picked up the icebrood and smashed them together. They broke into flying shards of ice and stone, which spiraled around the dragon champion. It was taking a new shape, not as a single entity but as an ice storm. The souls and bodies of its minions were becoming part of the champion. Already, the cyclone of ice and stone whilred fifty feet high and twenty feet wide, and it roared as it consumed even more of the icebrood.

I, for one, would not consider the concept art to be depicting a scene similar to that description. I would be more likely to argue it's concept art for those corrupted ice turrets but as an enemy NPC. Konig 09:37, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
