There's something scary at the bottom of the Drakkar Lake

I've had a couple of ideas about that beast. Namely that it was teleported (along with the water that made the lake) from somewhere else, perhaps the original ocean that was there before it became the Crystal Desert. Once it was there it was quickly, perhaps even flash, -frozen.

As for how it was frozen, you ever wonder how a frozen glacial mountain range managed to run so far south, when, on either side of it, there's temporate climate? I have, and I think that part of the solution is in the shrine to Lyssa in the Mineral Springs. There are two giant...I don't know what they are, but they're magical and judging from the way that one is half frozen in the pool that is there, I'm guessing that they have something to do with it...especially in a place called mineral springs, which usually involve water heated from geothermal energy and are usually quite hot.

If that beast was teleported from an ocean, to that spot, and then shortly after those things tipped over and frozen the shiverpeaks, that would account for it being frozen in the lake.

It's Dhuum's pet turtle.

Maybe it is Dhuum who earned in time another name and got imprisoned eventually. Then another chance is that it is in fact "the great Dwarf" but then Dwarves get confused from look. Developers however say that they give hints during GW:EN who he is but they reveal it officially when GW2 comes out.

Well one thing is for certain. This creature, whatever, and whoever it is, was not originally a sea creature. Why would there a forest frozen along with it? I makes little sense, if any at all.

Something would have had to hold that thing in place, and as for any teleportation theores, i doubt there had been any magic (or technology for all we know) that powerful to transport something of such mass over that long of a distance. And then where is what was the sister link of the teleporter?
Abaddon isnt even as big.

Now the Giganticus where enemies of the gods, the rivals, those of near equal power, whether it be magically, mentally or physically. Comparing the size to Abaddon, i'd say he is serverely out-matched, although there isnt no proof to this argument, since we didnt see all of Abaddon, and he was in a weakened form/state.

I'm all open for the Dhumm theory, the description of what Grenth did to Dhumm seems to nearly completely match what has appeared to happen here, but how did the water get there? Abaddon was the god of Water (in a sense of actual water, not so much the magic that water elementalists embue now) at the time (i wont say secrets as of yet), he would easily be able to conjure such a mass at one time. But why would Abaddon do this? Well from what i can see there is no lore as of yet involving both Grenth and Abaddon (unless this was before both gods took up their second mantle, Grenth taking on death and Abaddon taking on knowledge/secrets, it may have been a team-plan to get into the circle of the gods).

Well a theory for this is a deal. In return for Dhumm's military forces, which would increase Abaddon's overall power against his/her opressors, which would possibly ensure Abaddon's victory, Abaddon would break the seal on Dhumm, and release him from his icy prison. But of course all did not go to plan,and Dhumm will remain sealed till over 250 years from now. Yea i'd be pissed, but what is time to a god?

This would expain why we are to fight the forces of Menzies in Eye of the North, and that there is no mention of Dhumm, one of the key players in the trio's (Abaddon's, Menzies' and Dhumm's) invasion on the world of the free.

As they always say, save the best till last.
