Hearthstone's new version of the warrior, Lord Orange Ka Ashvan, has attracted the attention of many players, with a 5-5 figure of 5 fees, coupled with a +1+1 roar to the deck, hand cards, and weapons on the field, and the green-skinned captain who is also a 5-fee card. The only thing debatable is that she does not have a pirate label, and whether she can integrate perfectly with the pirate system is a problem.
Speaking of race labels, it may be because the popularity of pirates is so high that we overlook the question: Why isn't Ashfan a Naga?
Why isn't Ashfan a Naga?
I saw some articles about the background of Kop Ashfan, mentioning that Ashfan was actually a female lord of Kurtilas, but she wanted to rebel but was defused by Gianna, and was forced to leave Kultilas to join Queen Isara, and was transformed into the ugly appearance she is now. Because Naga was transformed from elves, and Ashfan was originally human, Queen Ashara thought she didn't deserve to be a Naga, and designers looked down on her. Therefore, Ashvan did not have the label of Naga.
There's nothing wrong with Ashvan's background, but the reason why she's not a Naga isn't really that around, she's really not a Naga, so why do you have a Naga race label? Appearance aside, the Naga race has a very obvious characteristic: both men and women have no legs. And Ashfan? Even if it is a miniature version of the original card, we can clearly see her big thick legs in the lower right corner of the picture, how can it be Naga with legs?
If you look directly at Ashfan's model in world of Warcraft, it is even more obvious, whether it is appearance, body shape, dress, there is no bit like Naga. Then a new problem arises.
What exactly is Ashfan?
Ashfan was transformed into what Queen Isara is now, and we can simply understand her as a sea monster. If you want to dig deeper, Ashvan should be a monster composed of creatures of at least two races. Which two monsters are they?
The first is the Sea Giant, who, in appearance, possesses the same ears and body type as the Sea Giant. Moreover, some of the relevant copies do refer to Ashfan as the Sea Giant, and Queen Isara is also inextricably linked to the Sea Giant. Queen Asara has a staff named Sarahdar, which can control not only the flow of rivers, lakes and seas, but also the sea giants created by the Titans. On the other hand, Queen Asara's treasure Tidal Stone is the artifact of Gogonais, the father of the Sea Giant, and Queen Aisara has more or less absorbed a little of the tidal stone's divine power, is there nothing wrong with it?
The second is the Faceless, and from the looks of it, Ashfan has the same arm as the Faceless. Moreover, the reason why Queen Isara became a Naga is related to the ancient god Enzos, and the Faceless One happens to be Enzos's younger brother. Queen Isara's power is actually a combination of her own original power and Enzos's power, and it makes sense for Ashfan to become a combination of the sea giant and the faceless.
In addition, Ashfan is also wearing a carapace, which may be related to races such as the Lobster People, so I will not delve into it. But in any case, Ashvan himself is certainly not a Naga, and naturally there can be no Naga race label, not because he is too ugly, or he is not worthy of being a Naga
