no sh*t.

Anyways, it's the sea, so big squiddies are a must have... and big squiddies are part of many, many cultures, including western (remember pics of big tudor ships getting smothered in tentacles?) and instead of calling them "Big Squiddo" or "Giant Squid" it's much more fantast..ic(?) to have them called "Krakens". voila

its not chinese themed btw...its jap mix chinese

samurai..ninja.. = jap

dragon...atleast the dragon in there looks like the 1 from th chines myth except its been cross bred with an english dragon as it has wings.

Greek, Egyptian, Chinese.... They talk about the Pheonix anyway but by different form and manners it represents. Anyway, we're here about talking "Long Arms". Perhaps its Norse myth for the Kraken but there is already mixed about anything. The Theme was mostly about the environment than monsters (Which Prophecies is a mix of many). That doesnt mean if it themed for that, it necessary says its will be a copy/paste with that theme. Like Luxons, its relatively with Animals Chinese Clans Myth. But where the Crabs clan came out? I never heard them. So, Anet puts like an add other than the theme for more content.

Off topic for Tytons

Ritualists are really look like egyptian while you well set (More with female hair) with the body, skin color and armor. But Ritualist can be considered as Shaman to communicate with spirits..... which its relative to the Nanman how they look), south of China before the 3 Kingdoms.

The bird-of-fire Phoenix is EGYPTIAN myth, but popularized by the greek Herodotos.
