Giant giraffe dragon in the sky zooming around skybox.

[Nelthazar]

Has anyone seen the giant thing that zooms around the skybox if you set your view distance to max?

[Blind and Belligerent]

Yea, dunno. It seemed to appear after the first temporal storm. I didn't see it prior to the 1.18 update...

[Zachary Hanson]

i saw it too, only after running through a rift by accident, scared the bajeuses outta me

[Streetwind]

It's something meant to appear during temporal storms, or while you have 0% temporal stability. If you see it at any other time, it's likely a bug.

[Blind and Belligerent]

That's what I thought, relogging seems to fix it? But if you get anywhere near a warp even if it does nothing to your gear he comes back. huh...

 

[Tom Bombadil]

so yeah at one point in the middle of a temporal storm my gear went to 0% and then I got this shocker walking around me...

[Jorhn]

Is this some kind of future lore-related final boss?

[Echo Weaver]

Saw it for the first time out the window during a nasty temporal storm. Don't know if we ever meet it (eek), but it certainly sets the mood.

[Lively]

That's Dave

If it appears after a storm, then it's likely that it's a bug that caused it to stay even after the storm ends, as it resides in your game's memory.

Restarting the client erases it from memory.

This means when the code to spawn it happened in a storm, there is no code to 'remove' it when the storm ends?

this is actually patched in the 1.19 release candidate builds, but yeah it was just failing to unload the thunderwarden model after storms (and even was loading it before them, just at maximum possible render distance)

[AngryRob]

Ok.... 

Does it bleed? how much dakka are we talking for taking it down? 

[Streetwind]

You don't have enuff dakka.

That's such a dumb name. They should've just added him and never say anything about it. That would've been 1000 times cooler.

That is NOT Dvze

[Maelstrom]

Dave is the name the community bestowed upon the critter.

[Medic8dGamer710]

I'm wondering why I've never seen this dude in my game

I've been through plenty of temporal storms and yet I've never seen him

You might need to bump your render distance up a bit. I believe he's juuuust too far away to see normally on the default graphics settings. 

[Konslufius]

That is just Dave. He wants to make sure that you are doing good.

An eldritch horror with Just Some Guy name is infinitely funnier though.
