Thought we were in the Azshara post one sorry!
I honestly think if they make her use a humanoid form I think it will be using naga traits on her Night Elf model or use a unique model to blend the 2 just like the Visage does for Dracthyr. However I can totally see her showing up a few times as her grand normal self (IMO)
I agree on the working as an “Ally or rival” part with Xal’atath, she knows more than anyone the dangers of bargaining with Void Cosmic Horrors and how quickly they will turn on you, like hungry vermin.
Also I firmly believe that if anyone know what Xal really is, its her… and the only way I can see Xal being a rival or even a threat to Azshara at this point is if Xal was something so “ancient or primal” that she literally will go against her or pretend alliance if only to make sure she does not recover her power that would literally mean the end of all things… but more importantly the end of Azshara’s personal plans! lol
If blizz took that direction being an “ancient primal being” I hope they take inspiration of the irl Tiamat is a Mesopotamian goddess myth, the story is so similar how this goddess was betray and split to create the universe with her pieces and flesh… much like the old gods strip Xal of her power.
Xal being anything less would literally make at best her pet and at worst a disposable pawn. Since the game hinted Azshara attaining something that elevated her in the background while we were busy with main villains in those flavored text we found around the Naga…
EDIT: Oh S*** sorry for derailing this post of the Council, I though we be in the Azshara for some reason… lol I’ll:
