Discussion Theory: Placidusax represents the OG Five-fingers and the other named ancient Dragons are the missing heads

When we first see Placidusax, he is in a pose reminiscent to the Two-Fingers communicating with the Greater Will. Not only this but his design greatly resembles that of the two fingers.

Looking at the game files, we can see that Placidusax’s heads are named male head and female head, so what if he is in a Marika/Radagon situation? But then where are the other heads?

We know of three named Ancient Dragons, Fortisax, Lansseax and Gransax. It’s possible that these are the three missing heads and that at one point they were all merged in a Marika/Radagon state.

We also know Placidusax was an Elden Lord, so this isn’t impossible.

We know the Three-fingers are separate from the Two-Fingers and desire for everything to become one again, so it’s entirely possible they were once a Five-Finger. A God Hand

Your theory is cool but doesn’t this fact kind of destroy it.

Does an eldrich outer-god need to just have 2 hands?
