Default The "Golden" Dragonflight?

Okay I am guessing at this stage that heart and soul of the aspects are canon (though I would guess both of these dragons are probably the same dragon, as only one shot from thralls balls....i mean thralls magical golden disk canon.)
So should they be classified as their own dragon type? E.G. A golden dragon?

Also what do you think their power could be? Are they a pure chromatic? A one born from the unity light rather then self consuming nature of shadow that nefarians creations were doomed to? Or is it something different? And will this be yet another loose thread like the dragon like creature born from the sunwell, or something that they will revisit?

One dragon does not a flight make.

If anything i'd just call them "Pure" or "Pure Chromatic" Dragons. Assuming a flight would even be able to get rolling.

I think it may have just been a one-off though. Something cool they made when they got the idea from the neato-lookin' Dragon that shot from the Dragon Soul. If it got some lore that'd be cool.

I wouldn't mind a white dragonflight now that you mention it. Maybe you could make them a race of flying, zealous Puritans but I just can't think of a way that you would actually add them into the universe by this stage. Not unless there's some unexplored island that still has them, but even that is kinda weak.

=P well I did say in my post "e.g. a golden dragon." I said dragonflight as an attention getter.

I think they made that dragon mount/pet to make money, seeing as the only time we see it in game other than that is for the half a second it takes for it to shoot out of the disc and into Deathwing's heart, causing him to become an anti-climactic explosion.

Well the white dragonflight skins are already on the files, at least the drake, dragonspawns and drakonids(not sure about the last one)

White dragons are "albino" of a sort, and may not even be canon, as it currently stands.

I think of the golden dragon used in the demon soul as a manifestation of all the aspects power into that of what a true titan is capable of. I have always wondered if a silver dragon flight would ever happen I cant really say what they would do or what their domain of power might be but still a neat Idea

Baseless theory time: it grows in Tanaris and is bound to the Caverns of Time in the same way as a Hearthstone is to an inn, and using it casts the "hearth".

An eon rose should totally have been a Keepers of Time reward as a teleport to the CoT.

It does when you can have every player pay out $15 for one and have them ride around on them. Get enougn players on the mount, plus the mini pet, and bomb, blizzard gets big bucks AND a new dragonflight.

Multiple players having a mount doesn't mean there's a ton of that mount in the canon lore. A lot of people have Invincible or Mimiron's Head or Rivendare's Deathcharger, you feel me?

The only official lore for the Soul of the Aspect is that it's a dragon born from the energies of the empowered Dragon Soul, and that it radiates pure light like a sun.

It's head can be seen manifesting when Thrall uses the artifact; in the HoT trailer it's shown firing a beam from its mouth. The actual in-game Dragon Soul Beam effect, if you look at the spell effects in the model viewer, slowly, actually launches the entire Soul of the Aspects as a high-speed projectile.

And of course, most importantly, the files for the models, spell effects, etc., simply refer to it as a Chromatic Dragon, which gets to the truth of what it really is: an actual Chromatic Dragon created by combining the powers of the five Aspects, unlike the twisted experiments of the Black Dragons.

If there were more than one of these, and I doubt there are, they'd almost certainly be the Chromatic Dragonflight.
