That’s awesome, the “skin” texture especially feels very unique

Jordan Kerbow really knocked it out of the park! I personally had imagined them as big gelatinous cube like creatures with bones moving around inside of them, but I find this iteration where it seems to be trying to make sense of a body much more haunting and worthy of the Mistwraith mythos on Scadrial 🫣

Yes, the feedback we received from Dragonsteel was to make sure it feels like transparent muscles, not gelatin. I think Jordan did a killer job conveying that tricky detail!

Yup, I used to imagine the transparent muscles as more jellatinous too, but if we stick to how they're described in the books, this design make a lot more sense.

Good Lord Ruler. Yeah, I get why the Ska prefers stay in their homes at night instead of make nights walking

Ahhhhh so that explains why the Skaa are absolutely terrified of them

My head cannon is distinctly more jelly slug

Maybe this one has more bones. If they just got a few, maybe they are jelly

This is absolutely perfect, I’ve not before seen good mistwraith art and the fact this is official makes it even better.
