    Tyr losing his hand is btw the exact thing that happened to the real god "Tyr" in the germanic mythology. The gods try to chain one of lokis sons which is Fenris/Fenrir (the wolf) and after a few attempts with different techniques they ask the dwarves for help. So the dwarves craft a chain made of some very rare (and probably symbolic) materials and go to Fenris again. But the wolf does not trust the gods trying to chain him down a third time and so they make a deal: The bravest of the gods, Tyr, has to lay his hand in the wolfs mouth and should he be captured and not be able to free himself, the god loses his hand.

      @@MrBarlien I don't think the current writing team is gonna pull any of that stuff. Everything from BfA and SL was entirely because of Afrasiabi being a piece of shit writer and team leader who only thought of how to sell the next expansion through shock value (aka the same method American tv show writers sell shows), and the writing team was stuck with a story that none of them wanted to create. So if they do make an expansion focused on the dragons again, it'll likely be one that isn't selling itself on shock value and more on mystery.

When Krasus was interacting with one said creature he surmized that they are the rezult of the, ahem, *forced creation of cragon eggs*, resulting in the malformed spawn.
