I was looking through the Gamespy screenshots and I saw this:

Now I am trying to think who this thing could be. Is it the Great Destroyer or some random monster we face in the game?

Looks like one of those effigies the Charr make in Ascalon... but much much bigger, and possibly animated.

Well its always a possibility, but I am betting that they wouldn't give us a peek at the great destroyer till we are ready to pwn it.

Looks like a wooden Charr on fire. Probably something to do with how the Shamans are keeping Charr society under their control without the Titans.

ya, I'd have to say it looks like some sort of worship effigy or statue of the Charr.

The Wicker Man was such an awesome film.

Christopher Lee ftw.

Anyhoo...that burning effigy is a charr, it's tail and claws on it's feet give that much away. Maybe now they realise the titans werent worth worshipping and so instead worship themselves?

I'm also going to say it looks like something the Charr would create. It has a tail and digitigrade (cat-like) legs, and isn't stocky like a dwarf.

Damn you Celestial, beat me to it...

Looking thru the fansite stuff I d/led. I referred back to this screenshot from the official website:

http://guildwars.com/products/eyeoft...scr001-lrg.php

It's called "Destroyer v Asura". (minions? not the "great" but probably will look similar?)

My guess? A burning charr sculpture of one of those wicked shamans.

I don't think it could move... but, who knows...? It could be a moving construct too.

And yes, Starsky-sama. Tha's one of the 'followers/minions/army members/whatever' of the great destroyer.

It's the 'evil enemy army' of the GW:EN tory, like Mursaat&White mantle/Titans&Undead in Prophecies, Aflicted&Shiro'ken in Factions and Kournan/All sort of demons in Nightfall.
