The DA2 main site has been updated with 2 creature pages talking about Hurlocks and Emissaries:

Hurlock

 
Taller than their genlock cousins, the hurlocks are roughly of human-size but are possessed of considerable strength and constitution. During a Blight they will often be found on the surface in large numbers, each equipped with crude armor that is often assumed to have been scavenged, though there is some evidence to suggest they also build and repair their own weapons. The darkspawn are a living plague, and the black ichor that leaks out of a hurlock's eyes onto it's pale face makes this fact plainly apparent.

Emissary

The most intelligent of the Darkspawn become gifted sorcerers, with many abilities akin to blood magic. These are called 'emissaries' because of their rumored ability to speak, though they negotiate no more than others of their kind. They are usually seen on the surface only during a Blight, but any who venture far enough into the Deep Roads will encounter them at any time... and will regret doing so.

Interesting, what do you guys think of the new emissary look? :devil:

Damn, was about to make this thread. Emissaries look scary as all hell, am I the only one who thinks they look elven-like?

The concept of the Hurlock is much better than the in-game model we've seen so far.

Question is, will it surpass Carver's perceived Herp Derp monopoly on the Bioware Social Network?

Yes, they look very elven with those ears, could be that this particular emissary was bred by an elven broodmother, but I always thought those only produced shrieks... hmmm :unsure:

I wish the Hurlock and the Emissary would switch appearances, that way, we could call it a Hurrrrrlock.

Er, sort of, but by those standards of "like" so do cats, terriers, and raccoons.

Like I said in the other post:

In origins there are only hurlocks emissaries and genlocks emissaries but this concept art looks like a shriek emissary with the pointy ears and the claws. Am I wrong?


What do you think?

Don't knock Nosferatu and Skeletor.  They really remind me of Army of Darkness.  So that's awesome in my book.

Are Emisarries a distinct race of Darkspawn now?



They look goofy

That's pretty much the closest explanation.

Also what other post? if mine is a double post could you please link the other one here so we could move the discussion there?
