the crooked serpent with no eyes.

[zlygork]

If a void lord looks like an enormous serpent of sorts (Biblical leviathan, nordic Jörmungandr) I am all for it. Sounds far more exciting than gigantic versions of warlock pets or pure darkness with toughts imo.

Naga.

Could not have been more obvious.

Elune's evil sister is a Naga-like goddess? Naga don't have space flight other than the illidari as far as we know

[Venziir]

But he has a few eyes. Unless it's a metaphor for being in the dark, unable to see.

Could be, but they might not be eyes, could just be bulbs, like every Lovecraftian horror, those things tend to be covered in bulbs for no real reason other than to look freaky.

"The veil between dream and dreamer slides away like skin from bone." Is the nightmare plot still ongoing?

[MechaCThun]

Another point that people overlook is the reference to the "six-eyed master" that some of the doomsayers spoke about during that patch:

[Stooned]

GUYSSSSS !! REMEMBER THE STAINED GLASS IMAGES IN ULDUAR?


Now I think it is indeed about N'Zoth. Y'shaarj was also depicted in another of the stained glass windows.

Yes - this rings of Hastur in the Lovecraft universe.

Sidenote, but Hastur/The King in Yellow isn't a Lovecraft invention though, Chambers invented him, but Lovecraft adored Chambers.

You are absolutely correct and apologies - my mistake.

What I meant is that it comes from the same / similar universe.

Thanks for correcting me tho.

I can only recommend reading the actual King in Yellow by Chambers, it's some freaky stuff, especially taken into consideration that it was written in 1890.

[Verdugo]

Hastur, wasnt that the thing that was killed by Old Man Henderson?

[Frontenac]

From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked serpent feasts on stars.

It could be the Twisting Nether. It's underlying the physical world, so it's everywhere, but it is nowhere since it's not part of the physical world.

[Zombie422]

With couple of people mentioning the King in Yellow I found it curious and decided to read about it.

Out of all the things that could be interpreted to have something to do with this, parts of "Cassilda's Song" from the actual play "The King in Yellow" are similar to what pamphlets say..

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

Am I digging too deep? :P

[Syegfryed]

it could be just a specie of monster evolved in another planet, and devour worlds in his path to th great dark beyond

sounds crazy, but would be nice something totally apart from this void/fel thing, i think its already satured, i would like to see a villain who is bad by himself

[Venziir]

Hastur, wasnt that the thing that was killed by Old Man Henderson?

Amongst other things yes.

These are tendrils no serpent

[Wilfire]

When the Naaru gazed out across the immeasurable universe, they saw a realm of limitless possibilities.

It has no eyes to see, but it dreams of infinite endings and beginnings.

It's worth noting that neither the Old Gods nor the Void Lords are interested in stars since those don't contain World Souls. We've only seen them go for planets so far. My guess? The Crooked Serpent is something akin to the "God" of the entire WoW universe. It wants to completely consume the physical universe and the Twisting Nether so that the Light and the Void can clash again and form another universe and on and on.

[TheFirstOnes]

its n'zoth.


just like how the black goat with seven heads is y'shaarj.

Except:

A. He's no Serpent.

And B. He HAS eyes.

Not sure if those things are eyes or not - Old God physiology is a mystery. Not that the lack of eyes is a hindrance, Yogg-Saron had fanged maws for eyes and seemed to get around just fine.

He clearly has Eyeballs, and Pupils on him.

You know what I love. How people really are into trying to figure out what is Blizzard hinting at. I'd be the designer doing this "arg" thingy, and I would chuckle, and be on MMO forums all day watching people debate.

But keep going guys, seriously, its cool
