Something about the new Ascian lore

[LineageRazor]

Missed this one, when I posted yesterday:

In other words, Bahamut and Enkidu.

Actually, Bahamut does NOT resemble the original. His only resemblance to his counterpart in the artwork of Midgardsormr's brood is the horns, and this is one of the reasons that Tiamat knew immediately that the Ascians had deceived her.

As for Enkidu... We don't really know if he looked like the original or not. The only one who knows for sure is Gilgamesh, and this is a guy who thought that painting a chicken green was a suitable substitute! He probably took one look at the Enkidu he'd summoned, and figured he was good enough! (And no, the fact that he resembles the FFV artwork, is not something I consider to be a compelling counterargument.)

As shown by our summons in the Eden raids, even knowing the original is not enough to guarantee an accurate copy...

Tiamat probably also knew Bahamut better than anyone else in the world, being both his mate and sister, and the summoning still created a twisted monster. Any stray thought, any error in memory, and any emotional charge causes the process to go awry.
