The Void Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Well I looked at Doma again and saw how he looked like a undead dragon. So, would it be a stretch for Mila and Doma to be members of the dragonkin? The Falchion in Gaiden is tied to Doma, which could be like how the Falchion in the Akaneia/Ylisse games is tied to Naga.

Topaz Light Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think Duma (which is the official localized name from FE13, for reference) is probably of some relation to the dragonkin, although, as he kind of looked like... a lime green cycloptic slime-dragon to me, it's not really clear exactly what kind of dragon he is, although he's likely as not his own sort of creature, being a god and all. Mila, on the other hand, is never shown, although considering she and Duma are siblings, it wouldn't be a stretch to say she's also a dragon of some sort, although she's probably significantly prettier and less... odd-looking, than Duma.

Refa Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Doma looked more like Cthulhu than a dragon to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Void Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Part of me asking about Doma and Mila is that the other Kaga games that featured non-humans who weren't tamed creatures like wyverns or wild animals all had the beings of worship either as dragons, drawing power from a dragon, descended from a dragon, or otherwise tied to a dragon. Mila and Doma weren't flat out said to be part of the dragonkin, so they stick out compared to Loptyr, Naga, etc. Edited May 24, 2013 by The Void Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are some kind of gods, or godlike creature, so dragons doesn't seems to far fetched.... I always thiught that he and Mila had some kind of human form as well... Weren't they supposed to be siblings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otherarrow Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, they are siblings. I never really got the impression that Mila and Duma were ment to be dragons. I always just sort of filed that idea under "fanon ment to better mesh Gaiden with the cosmology of the other games". With that said, not all the gods in FE are dragons. Aside from the obvious like Ashera, Yune, and such, I recall the developers notes note that magic is actually drawing power from minor nature deities, and I think the old version of the official FE site mentions a sky god named Yudu. But that is all backstory stuff not mentioned in the games themselves... Also, Mila and Duma appear in human form at the end of the manga, if that helps anyway.

The Void Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Ashera and Yuna were in the post-Kaga FE games though. As for those deities, from reading the design notes it comes across as people in Akaneia believing in deities that were actually sources to get the types of magic from. And those sources were deified. Edited May 24, 2013 by The Void Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those sources were deified. I know, but I was pretty sure someone was going to bring them up. And I read the opposite from the designer notes. Gotoh took the preexisting nature gods and taught humanity how to harness their power, as they couldn't use the equivelent technology that the dragon clan used.

The Void Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well anyway, Duma does look like a dragon. Or a bigger Draco Zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xinnidy Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Considering the wing-like upper limbs and Reptilian-esque head shape, it's not that far off, I could see the connection at first too. Though, seeing that it emerged from a pile of green slime with no sign of scales and some tissue that I can't discern if muscles or supporting tentacles, if that is even a thing, I dismissed that too. It's hard to classify whatever that is behind the visible body as a tail or anything draconesque, either. I like to think Duma and Mila aren't related to the dragons. With that in mind, some background on them would definitively be interesting, should that ever occur. Edited May 27, 2013 by Xin'dy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) This is a dragon..? Same as how this is a dragon: Because Fae looks more like a hybrid of a chicken and Lugia to me. Edited May 27, 2013 by Ranger Jack Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 We know Fae is a Dragon because of her human form, an extremely small child, which is how most playable manaketes are. Not to mention she's holding a Dragonstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Duma's resemblance to a reptile of some description is pretty hard to see in just static screenshots, since his head kind of blends in with everything else to form a bizarre facade of eldritch i-don't-even-know, but it's significantly easier to make sense out of his form when one actually sees him moving when he enters a battle: the way i see it, the dragon resemblance is definitely there in his "upper" body, but there's more to him than just that. i could be wrong here, but of all things i'm actually seeing a bit of snail in his "lower body", though that could just be a coiled serpentine trunk alternatively Duma is just the FE series' Rorschach inkblot test for fandom theories yeah let's go with that Edited May 27, 2013 by bookofholsety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 He actually looks a bit like a giant snail with wings to me....but that might just be wonky perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
