Exclamation Found a mural in Cathedral of Flames of someone/something I can't identify.

Anyone know what or whom this is supposed to be? Across from this mural, on the other side of a ramp, is a mural of Abbadon, if that helps at all.

PS - Sorry for all the name censoring, it was a PUG I got in for a 2k CoF HM run.

I was thinking that at first, but the Lich's horns don't point straight up like that, they actually go down to each side and curl up a bit. They are also much larger and thicker. Also, in the mural, the creature's right arm is sleeveless, while it's left has a long sleeve. The Lich has half-sleeves on both arms.


Not to mention...the Lich as WINGS...this mural does not.

EDIT: This cannot be Grenth either, as Grenth is ALWAYS depicted as wearing a hood. And Grenth's horns are curved and pointing upward, not straight up and a little wavy like in the mural. This creature has no hood, and you can clearly see the large collar on the back of it's neck sticking out. I find it odd how the face is hidden...perhaps on purpose?

EDIT 2: In my personal opinion, this could either be Dhuum or Menzies.

This is a possible tie to Dhuum: One of Dhuum's minions are Dryders, spider-like creatures. The backround of the mural shows a spiderweb-like design.

This is a possible tie to Menzies: The mural is red, and menzies' banner is red. Also many members of the Shadow Army, including Shadow Warriors and Shadow Rangers have horns.

It strikes me that it's more of a generic gothic design, kind of like the gargoyles you can see around the fireplace in that same dungeon. I don't think it's meant to be anything we can recognize; that same design is also in Shards of Orr.
