Are Arakkoas an easter egg to Skeksis from The Dark Crystal?

Hey, everyone!

Recently watched a fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, a film from the 80s, there was a race of evil birds called Skeksis, so they reminded me a lot of Arakkoas.

I’m not sure the people here are old enough to understand what I’m talking about.

By the way, in 2019 a new series was released based on this film, a prequel.

Yes, they kinda are.

Especially the hunched Outland ones, which were the only ones we knew until WoD/Draenor showed us the uncorrupted ones.

Hell, their ‘city’ in Terrokkar Forest is called Skettis lol, I think that’s a big red flag of a reference right there. :joy:
