    Nidhogg or not Nidhogg

    Okay, so previews extensively featured a white, fluffy dragon. It attacked derplander in the trailer and we saw him meating with Shiva, Alphinaud and us both as an artwork and as ingame footage. Many take it for granted that he is Nidhogg as we never see both his eyes.

    But, I have a few problems with this.
    One: He is way too small. Bahamut was the size of a city, Midgardsormr was pretty massive as well. Fluffy seems to be around the size of Vishap. Not large enough for a Wyrmking.
    Two: He looks asian. Dog like head, furry, snake like body. He looks more like Falkor the Luck Dragon from Never Ending story. Plus it has two pairs of weird looking wings. It's just my opinion but if he is a wyrmking at all it would make more sense for him to be Shinryu.

    What do you guys think?

    You can see both of his eyes at some point, but never at the same time tho.

    In different scenes the camera pans to show either eye but doesn't show both at once, maybe there's a reason, like in some movies when they do that t show a character's split personality

    Yeah, never at the same time. So, Nidhogg or no?

    the white feathered dragon's name is supposedly Hraesvelgr. Some believe the black benchmark dragon is Nidhogg, but personally I think we've yet to see him...

    No not nidnogg, I think the black dragon at the end of the benchmark video was nidhogg (let me know if I'm wrong about that.)

    The white dragon I have a feeling could be Evrae from final fantasy 10.

    Yeah, some fansites (particularly JP ones iirc) have been calling him Hraesvelgr, additionally the latest trailer "Dragonsong" cements the black dragon as Nidhogg imo, very obviously only one eye glowing there (and agrees with aforementioned fansites). Nonetheless, I think you're selling Hraesvelgr short, he should still be a Celestial Dragon like Nidhogg!

    Well since Nidhogg lost his right eyes and that the eye that is shown the most on the white one is the right, to not Nidhogg that's for sure

    Also we see a swarm of those attacking Ishgard in the heavensward opening, so it's likely to be just a messenger.

    Funny thing is, a lot of sites talk about fluffy as if he is Nidhogg. Never saw him being called Hraesvelgr, but I'll check. I still maintain that he looks asian.

    Neither the white nor the black dragon have been named.

    From the lack of an eye and the fury he shows in most every preview thus far, though, I think it's safe to presume the black dragon is Nidhogg.

    The white dragon, in contrast, has both eyes and is at least non-hostile from what we've seen. Pretty sure he's not Nidhogg.
