Sha of Fear Lore Question

[ShadowJester]

Okay I have just been wondering why is the Sha of Fear purple and red while literally every other Sha is black and white. Has there been any mention of why that is lore wise, or is it just because its the "last" boss of the tier and Blizz wanted to make it just that much more special.

possibly symbolizes that he has more power? By having more fear to feed on than other emotions such as anger?

[I-Thalos-I]

Horde = Red
Alliance = Blue
Red + Blue = Purple

If I were to develop an endboss for a raid dungeon that is based on all negative emotions from both factions, this is the scheme I'd use.

To distinguish it a bit from the others.

But are the Alliance and the Horde experiencing fear? The fear he feeds off of seems more towards the Mandrid, but idk.

So the different colours of the Warlock T14 are justified.

I would imagine it was just to distinguish him from the others, and to give a visual indicator of the difference in his POWER LEVEL.

"The sha's strength is mostly determined by their size, the larger the manifestation the more powerful they have become"

Indeed, he has ascended to the next level! A Super Sha-iyan!

Maybe it's because of it mixing with the water from the fountains in the Terrace? Lei Shi was corrupted when the waters went "cloudy" and if there's a reason why the Protectors are all Jinyu, it's probably something to do with water.

No, he appeared that way when he first shows up in the Heart of Fear too.

There's no lore reason given, as far as I'm aware. In the beta he appeared black and white as well. I like the idea of him being red and blue to represent the Alliance and the Horde fueling his power, but if there is any official reason we haven't heard it yet.

I laughed.

OT: I was wondering the same thing, just makes him seem oddly flamboyant.
