aspirine.6852 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just wondering if Kanaxai is still around :P His mini used to be one of the most expensive items in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we would be killing him in the bounty quest, but since he is his own type of demon not really connected to the mists, maybe he can just come back. It would be awesome to see him and the Oni again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo Chocolate.5870 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I agree with the OP, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. GW2 has a pretty inconsistent track record when it comes to faithfully recreating creatures from GW1. A few creatures in the core game kept similar designs, like grawl, ettins and raptors, but a lot of them had substantial redesigns. Trolls, skelk, skale, tengu, kraits, drakes, and even norn look quite different. The expansions are probably even less faithful. In HoT, saurians were redesigned so heavily that they don't even have the same species. In PoF, a lot of the Elonian wildlife from Nightfall was removed and replaced with completely new creatures, while djinn and hydras look completely different. I don't think this is bad necessarily - in fact, I think many of the redesigns are improvements - but I don't think we can really predict what creatures will be in Cantha, or what they'll look like.

Mandragor and Mantid/Mantis, I feel as though if we were going to see these guys we would of already. They were scattered around EotN, Nightfall and the Factions areas. Who knows though maybe they will sneak them into EoD as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be some japanese humor, but still all i can ask is: what?! Not really humor, but based on Japanese folklore. There are tales which say that the humans soul is located in a small ball, called shirikodama (NO relation to my account name, I swear!). Kappa are able to gain power by claiming that small ball, which is located..... in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
