Oh that's right, there's a dragon there and dragons > charr so automatically the area is named after the dragon.

Geez, the naming speculation is a crock of monkey snot (yay Monkey Island quotes).

Grothmar, sounds like something the Charr would name, no doubt about it, they probably named the dragon Grothmar because in some Charr text that might mean something.
Drakkar, sounds like something the Norn would name, no doubt about it, they probably named the dragon Drakkar because in some Norn text that might mean something.
Geez, I have no quote that makes no sense no matter how you look at it. (yay).

Possible dragon
Hey all.
Me and my brother were playing through the Tomb of Primeval Kings and on the second level we came across this.
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/1429/92501944ob0.jpg
At first I thought it may have just been another one of the tentacles which are common around the Tomb but the end of the "tail" has a sort of arrow head similar to what some lizards and other mythical dragons have. Also further down you are able to see more of this creature. This second section can be seen better in this screenshot. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8238/96363728fc9.jpg
The parts of this creature which we are able to see could either be one of two things. It could simply be the tail of the creature, in which case I guess the over all size of the monster would be comparable to Primordus. The other possibility is that this could be the creatures body and so this monster would be more similar to the Air Dragon in Ice Cliff Chasm.
Ive looked all over this forum and used the search feature and I can't find any other reference to this creature but I'm sorry if it has been mentioned.
I hope this may be of some interest to you all

That's one of the serpents that runs through the domains of the gods, there are some in the real UW aswell, and I think 1 in FoW.

Its always so much fun to be playing and find some dragon or serpent frozen in the lake or walls. sometimes those gigantic bones scattered around really gets my mind racing about what they could be the remnents of.

Wait a minute. Tombs takes place in the Underworld, right?
I found this on the discussion page of wiki:

Tombs takes place in the realm of the gods, but not in the underworld.

The Tombs of the Primevil Kings is an ascention path to the Hall of Heroes. The underworld map section there is only a map, not in connection with the actual underworld elite area.

Those dragons are weaving around a TON of places all throughout Guild Wars. I see them most often in HA maps, though.

Never seen that dragon in Tombs, and I use to do that a lot. I doubt it is an ancient dragon as that has been around since Factions, at least, probably since the very beginning of the game. I don't think ANet would have planned so far ahead for GW2's story, probably only up to Nightfall, at most.
As for the "Tombs is part of the realms of the gods" yes it is, and no, not the underworld, although the first level might be a part of the whole Underworld *keep in mind that we probably don't visit all of the underworld, if we do, thats not that many ghosts for the centuries of dead people*.
Seeing how that is the second level *called Scorched Earth I believe* I don't think it is part of the Underworld, so therefor wouldn't be part of the twin brothers. But that does not mean that is not some other transformed creature that challenged the god(s) and lost.

Hmmmm...
Anyone notice the Primordus markings on the wall of ashford abbey in pre?
Check it out Here.
I've seen those stain-glass thingies of him before, but why this in pre? And how do they even know what he looks like? Seems to be he would've been in hybernation looong before the world of tyria started to get life to it.
SPOOOOOKY! Good thing I used to be a Ninja.

That design is also in the Isle of the Dead guild hall. I think that was just meant to be a random dragon, or hydra. Maybe they took the look for Primordus from that and Glint.

That concept art has been around since the beginning of Prophecies. So its not really Primordus. While he could be based upon it alittle we have actually yet to see what Primordus's appearence is as we've only seen the rocky outline.

What would be funny, is if it turns out Primordus is smaller then us when he sheds all the rock.
-steps on something- woops, sorry primordus.... Well, problem solved!

Yes, Primordus is "red", or at least he looks red from the red lava and the stone he is in.

Has anyone else noticed the bone dragon looking thing in the ice in the end game area of Prophesies?
There's ice all around that area and my husband noticed a HUGE form in the ice. There are big skeletons everywhere in Proph, but this is by FAR larger. While it is skeletal, it is much more reminiscent of the Drakkar dragon.
![](../Img/dragonicedroksjpg.jpg)
You can see the bones in the upper right, but they extend down past the "bottom" of the pic. It even seems to wrap around to the other side of the ice. Bone Dragon? Size of Rotscale's great great grampy"

I doubt that is a Ancient Dragon is that is what your implying. It is probably just a dead giant, whatever those things are called. Keep in mind, with the other bones, we never see the whole body, that could just be more "complete"
