Wrong.

The Nether dragon model was amazing. Fucking sky sharks.

But I do feel like they were wasted on a single questline. no matter how cool riding one is.

You mean the Nether drakes? They are cool but the dragon model sucks.

The dragon model was just a dragon with more glow.

I still think "Powerful, savage magical being made of void power" is better than "Poor mutated children abandoned by their dad".

That dragon model was Taerar's model. The actual Nether Dragon model was never used until Wrath with those serpents in Coldarra. Or are we talking about the drakes?

The TFT incarnation, as described by the now non-canon RPG, was too bland and uninteresting for me to say that they were wasted. And besides, I love the version we got in TBC.

Uh? They could still be some strong ally and enemy of us, rather just poor little children of DW.

I like their origin as creatures mutated by the energies released by Draenor's destruction. That's interesting. The one described in the RPG, not so much.

Fused by void power, beings of chaos, not even the legion could control is not interesting?

From my view, dragons are suppose to be powerful and scary rather than pitful.

Flying voidwalkers versus mutated shark-dragons trying to survive and find their place... I like the latter.

The thing is, tying them to the actual dragonflights cleared up certain past inconsistencies. Under the old definition, nether dragons - like faerie dragons - were yet another creature type called dragons and shaped kind of like dragons, yet having to be singled out and qualified as not being real dragons by out-of-universe material.

Plus their old description begged the question of why they were called nether dragons when the Twisting Nether lacks actual dragons from which to draw a comparison and inspire the name.

Now if only we knew how the Dragonmaw Clan got its name before the Dark Portal opened and exposed the orcs to actual dragons, it would only leave the faerie dragons as the last significant thing named after dragons for seemingly no reason.

Correction:

Extremely powerful flying void creatures, threat to all being including the demons, very intelligent and communicate telepathically.

What inconsistencies? Nowhere said they were related to Azeroth dragons. They came to Outland, so those creatures there could name them with this because they resemble Azeroth dragon.

Yep, not interesting.

I find the Nether Drakes in TBC to be awesome honestly the problem was that they were not elaborated on afterwards even in Cataclysm i thought we would see a few aid us considering how dire they tried to make the Cataclysm look.


Yes they look cool but are ultimately there to die and make a specific champion look good... Its rare i find a Dragon actually look menacing considering how much they are used for the same role over and over.

Everyone has their own pet race.

After TBC, they helped restore Malygos in a comic that no one (even Blizzard) cared about, and in a lame novel and once in-game were shown to be the main ingredient for twilight dragons. Anything else? I think they could have done more.

Yeah, I don't know why people enjoy to slay dragons so much, but I like dragon to be that powerful and threatening. Azeroth dragons are mostly too crazy or slow.

If Blizzard use the old setting, Nether dragons are not allied with the legion so they don't have to be enemy for sure. Some of them can be neutral, at least in TBC. Make some ally with them and fight Illidan's forces/the legion.

They were voidwalkers. They eat things.

The Nether Drakes in TBC are fine.... They are still Neutral as they don't have ties with the Legion and could make for a great story with Wrathion and Sabellian.

Fire elemental and Phoenix are not the same thing.

Nether Dragon are all intelligent and highly resistant to magic, they are a higher life form than voidwalkers.

The problems are:

They are not powerful enough, not scary enough, even pitful and need rescue from the mortals. They are dragons, not worms.

Their dragon model sucks.

There Dragon Models far from suck as they are stupidly popular and would be seen all over if getting them was not such a grind.

They are stupidly powerful are shown on many occasions like the Manga being helped by mortals does not tarnish that at all you are just being extremely silly currently.

Dragon model, not drake model.

What power do they have compare to the old setting? In the old setting not even the legion could not let them obey and in TBC some fel orcs were able to capture their broodmother?

Power does not inherently make something interesting.
