mobs on dragonback

The opening Heavensward movie shows riders on the dragons during the fight.
Is that supposed to be something coming in the future or were they supposed to be Dragoons that have jumped on top of the dragons to fight them?

Dragoons that jumped on to them

Looks like a dragoon, at least on Hraesvelgar. You can see the Gae Bolg, and he only shows up after one of the bolts of light, which was probably jump or dragonfire dive.

I don't think that's Hraesvelgar though. It's just another dragon that is in the same species.

Hraesvelgar is in his own category, along with his brothers and sisters. the only conclusion i can draw is that the world that derplander interacts with is much different than our own.

It's probably just an interpretation of what dragoons are doing when they 'jump.' Estinien does it to an extent in the aery, and one of the dragoons during the drg job questline does it as well.

sorry, what I meant in same species is that it looks kinda like him as in same 4 wings, 4 horns, long body, dog face, etc lol.

But yeah, I know Hraesvelgar is in his own category with his brothers and sisters like you mention.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they intended Hraesvelgar to be the antagonist originally, but switched it to Nidhogg after the cinematic's development started. I mean they spent what, a year making it? 18 months?
