What new dungeon themes will we come across?

Nothing about Andthatsabooger really strikes me as particularly draconic, much less of the bone variety.

"In the Wayang (oriental popular 'opera') traditions of Java in Indonesia, Anantaboga is the king of the dragons in the underworld and holds the world of the dead as his domain. He is the father and husband of dewi Nagagini.
In modern times the 'Ananta-Boga-Dragon' is seen as the most important symbol in Bali for the earth's fertility."

Hmm. . .I can see the underworld aspect easily. I just see him as more demon-thing than bone-dragon.

yeah i'm not sure why it's called a bone dragon since it doesn't look particularly bony or draconic!

One dungeon i thought would be cool is something based of ipsen's castle from 9, where half of the castle is upside down and the top half is upright. A mechanic would be the controls being inverted when you are in the upside down part of the castle and it constantly flips between the two or something.

You know, I must admit I considered a similar idea for a dungeon would be actually very neat for the game - like Ipsen's Castle, damage and defense are reversed so that end game gear would be practically worthless, at least to a certain point in the dungeon, forcing players to equip low end gear to get through it (and also make it so that gear doesn't Spiritbond and thus not be abused accordingly).

Or maybe something like that dungeon in FFIV which was magnetized and if you had metallic armour you were affected with a weight debuff (never mind if the characters are not wearing iron armour ).

It would just add some interesting strategies to the regular 'head through, kill the things, click the targets, grab loot and beat the boss' dungeon routine.

Yeah i agree, i forgot about the reverse gear stat mechanic in Ipsen's castle. Hopefully we see more creative mechanics in dungeons/raid content in the future.
