He only had ever had gems back in the day as well. Level 50 necros would camp him on Bristlebane server. The guy that got me into EQ even mentioned him to me once when I said I was about to travel from Faydwer to Antonica via the boat. "Ohh there is a large Dinosaur out there on one of the islands, high levels camp him for his gems"
I am struggling to remember if the boat went close to his island in classic.. I have a stray memory of it but not certain. I really want to say it did and I watched a necro killing him while passing on the boat. I think I used to look for him as we passed by. Am I just thinking things untrue?
Edit: Going back to an earlier point about Velious giants, there is a statue of a giant in Everfrost peaks, the ice giants there became that way because they stayed. Honestly, the Velious giants should have looked like the classic models but perhaps with armor graphics or something. Not sure they should have even been there.. makes me think it was just pulled out of their rears. The giants in Kunark should have looked the same as well. Although now I remember why they didn't. I recall a conversation about how each expansion needed new graphics and models or else they were "rehashed lazy". Frogs in seb look like those in Guk.
