So...Are All Purple Dragon Knights Half-Orcs?

[Dawnsfire]

They're half-pig.

Man-Bear-Pig then?

Man-Bear-Pig then?

An army of them! We should warn Al Gore right away so he can lead us to victory against them!

[cdbd3rd]

Nope, still don't get it. What does the color purple have to due to compensating for anything?

Probably the hair...






*ahem* Or maybe not.

[cdbd3rd]

maybe they are half-orc with a better dental plan then Eberron half-orcs?

Like the forum name, btw.

Well, except for the "mrs" part, and the fact yur prolly really a guy - but what happens on the internet, stays on the internet, right?



2009, and active posting - how is it I missed it all this time?

Those Purple Dragon Knights really do look out of place. If I wanted to play a game with cartoonish over exaggerated features I wouldn't be playing DDO.

What are you saying? That purple and black go well together?

All I could see was this "other" pic I couldn't Unsee while looking for the others I posted...

Purple Dragon Knights started as Death Knights in the Lords of Dust. Some of them then appeared as those Silver Flame paladins hanging out around that crack which formed in the harbor. Then, they showed up in Eveningstar. What I'd like to know is how their gear made into the Tower of Despair years before they showed up in another universe. They all bear a resemblence to Barney Rubble, IMO.

Man-Bear-Pig then?

It amuses me the twists and turns this very short thread had to undertake to get to this point....

To give you a serious answer.

Turbine is lazy when it comes to modeling new creatures/charakters

This is the reason why....

Half orcs are just dwarf models with greater size (thats why the weapons are so extremly big)

Half Elfs are just human models with ugly heads

Death knights in the Lord of Dust chain or just half orc models in armor

and of course purple dragon knights are just half orc models...

Now the question would be....why didnt they use human models for them?

Thanks for the serious answer, Dunklerlindwurm! I'm genuinely unsure whether they're supposed to be humans or half-orcs. You'd think, if they were all half-orcs, it would be mentioned. If they're human, then I wish PCs could have a larger variety of body types within races the way NPCs apparently can.

Some of them then appeared as those Silver Flame paladins hanging out around that crack which formed in the harbor.

I was wondering about those guys too.

Technically that character-model showed up long before MotU. You can see one of those large-men in the House K Crafting Hall, and as someone else mentioned its also used in the Harbringer of Madness chain.
