Those 'void dragons' used models that were originally from FFXI however, and I don't think are really representative of anything more deeper other than "they look evil" and are thus just monsters with no connection or relation to Midgardsormr's species (same as there are also FFXI Dark Kindred appearing here in FFXIV as Voidsent too - who were considered beastmen in FFXI) - after all I'd long thought their heads looked more like dogs than dragons even back in my FFXI days! :P

So I wouldn't read too much into the 'void dragons' actually once being actual dragons, but were just added for atmosphere due to being 'demonic looking' and also to be a tip of the hat to FFXI.
