It certainly looks like the Loch Ness Monster.

If you walk over the ice, although the thing is so large you can make out a form with flippers and a long neck.

I managed to take a few screens of it, it's hard to really make anything out, but it does look like a destroyer..
It even has the same type of cracked skin along it's back that the destoryers have with all the fire coming out.

Turn off reflections and you'll probably get a better look.

A bit late now I'm afraid. They were just random screens I took while playing the game.. I'm sure some conspiracy theorist has some better ones.

I think it's a Destroyer.

Remember one of the official GW:EN trailers, at the end there was a huge Destroyer in a pit of lava, spewing fire from it's mouth all over the place! It sort of resembles the thing in the lake!

That's a Drakkar.

Remember the huge bones all around the world?
Crystal Desert, for instance?
They are Drakker bones.
Drakkar are water creatures.

What I don't understand is why Drakkar are bigger than Glint.
Isn't Glint supposed to be the biggest greature other than the extinct giants?

A Drakkar is a Norwegian sea-dragon. It is also what vikings called their long ships. Eye of The North is heavy in Viking and berserker warrior lore. The Norn's being able to take the form of a bears is influenced heavily by Viking berserkers who wore bear pelts to battle. The town of Sifhalla in GWEN also ironically rhymes with Valhalla, which is the god Odin's hall in Norse mythology where true Norse warriors go when they die.

So it is most likely Drakkar, but what is the connection between the Drakkar and Jora's brothers curse?

Actually, it's a Giganticus Lupicus probably. It's theorised on Lore fora that the bones found in the Desert and Catacombs are of the Giganticus Lupicus. This creature bears a lot of resemblance to those bones.

There are enormous skeletons strewn all over that part of the world - it's not hard to imagine one was preserved in the frozen lake. I wonder if it's still fresh... =)


Oh sure, two pages on this thread and someone posts the same though I had, just as i'm writing... lol

I did however notice faces in one of the dungeons in the crystals at the end... i was wondering who's face it was... if it was important or just for a cool effect.
