Dragon in a Wheelchair

In the world of warcraft we have seen people healed from horrible attacks that left them severely wounded, people have had crippling diseases removed from their body, heck…. People have been brought back from the dead to continue their adventures and keep on fighting the good fight.

But this poor dragon can’t have his legs work again. Whatever deity or Titan they worship isn’t really a great god. This is why we should all take note and worship an old god or demon. At least they would have the decency to give you working legs. Sure I might have to make a bargain that’s less than desired like eternal servitude or obtain a hideous mutation…. But at least I can walk. #sargerasdidnothingwrong

P.S. Can’t he use his wings?

Their wing is damaged too. Its called out in their text and also sags off to the side. It looks like they’re probably paralyzed on one side.

All forms of death/injury only exist as the writers allow it, it’s proven that people can be resurrected (eg Anduin somehow because an in combat mass ressing priest-paladin despite being younger than the player character) and others can be permadead because #lol (eg Ysera)

All death/injury only sticks when it’s convenient for plot, don’t think about it too much

I loved that Dragon! Took a selfie with him, we chatted a bit. :tada:

I’m just saying if this nice dragon would just forsake his current god and give in to the maddening whispers and promises of the old gods, they would be benevolent enough to offer him his legs and wings back. Embrace the tentacles like papa deathwing

Pretty cool to have some representation, you would expect to see many disabled people in a world of WARcraft.

Not really, you’d expect to see people with access to powerful life magic to be doing fairly well.

He couldn’t afford proper medical care due to being unemployed for the last 10,000 years.

Healing in RPGs is always handled in a goofy way when it comes to plot. Viva la Dirt League did a great video on it.

That being said this NPC is a cool addition. A reminder that being paralyzed on one side doesn’t mean you aren’t whole.

Sadly this happens a lot to veterans. Poor dragon. He’s the LT. Dan of dragons. I want a Forest Gump dragon to be standing next to him making comments to him now.

Oh but don’t you understand… #marepresentation. It doesn’t need to make sense in game, we just need to shovel as much real world issues as we can in the game, and then #profit.

You’d think the Life-binder might be able to do something about it :stuck_out_tongue: Not very life-binding of you, Alexstrasza

They must have terrible health insurance

You know that magic isn’t some cure all? Not everything can be healed by magic and we have seen that time and again.

Or did you forget even with the best magical care in the world, Anduin had to walk with a crutch for most of Mists?

She only does things that are best for her flight. Wrathion was right to call her out when he did.

Perhaps they declined whatever healing services or methods that were available and accepted his disability? Maybe they wear it as a badge of honor to remind people of what can happen and the sacrifice made?

No clue, but those could be a couple reasons maybe.

They need to find a new primary healthcare provider. Time for Wrathion to go full Karen mode

I can do more than restore the poor dragon, I can make them stronger than ever. :robot:

Well the titans were never “gods” to begin with.

By all means, I approve. Also, I want a bionic dog for my hunter.

Would you rather live a short life with a crippled limb or live in eternal afterlife as someone’s food source?
