Ixal with wings in the new dungeon preview!

[zandervont]

Does anyone else besides me think that thing is some kind of reworked Sphinx? It does kind of resemble the Greek winged version of it. Or at best a mechanical gryphon given the mouth and legs.

could be a reference to this.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was Gizamaluke they both look very similar. I think there is a flying mount based on this boss too isn't there?

wonder if the mount would be a dungeon drop?
