EtherealDead.9316 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Are the branded riftstalkers adult karka that have been branded? They look quite similar, but there seems to be no indication one way or the other on the wiki. What sort of implication would this have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 They've answered that question and said explicitly that they look very similar, but are in fact not the same creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/802982/#Comment_802982) They use the adult karka rigging, which is highly unique (second time it's been used), but they're non-Tyrian creatures. EDIT: Also, not sure where on the wiki you were looking but on https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Branded_Riftstalker it's stated there in the very first sentence, with a reference link to the above forum post.

Randulf.7614 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I reckon they're branded Gonarchs from the Planet Xen. It's no coincidence those commandos look like Black Mesa soldiers either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crepuscular.9047 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 a lot of creatures in GW universe are just reskin of the each other i.e Mursaat and Seers, forgotten and kraits, so I would take the model similarity links to genetic relations with a grain of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their model was fairly unique. But yes, reusing rigging is a very common video game practice. Not just in GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
