4th Elemental Spirit?

[hashbrowns]

In the Legend of the Monkey King comic did anyone else see the 4th spirit? You could see Storm Spirit with his hat, Earth Spirit with his broad frame, and Ember spirit because he was flaming, but there was a 4th spirit? Does anyone know who he/she/it is?

[Doused]

yes its ember spirit , earth spirit , storm spirit , and the other one looks like a dark something spirit

[hashbrowns]

If they are forces of nature, what could the dark one be? Do you have any guesses?

[Boomerdad (NOFRIENDS)]

Water. Which would suck cause we already have morphling for that

[Yosemite Sam]

Well its probably Ether if we going old school elements, although doubt that spelt right

[Super Arthritis ⁧⁧ ⁧⁧Man]

Obviously water.

Morph isnt really water hes like a comet or some ♥♥♥♥ right? still i feel its unlikely they will add another water themed hero especially since they colored him to be purple its probably something more magic based

The only colors that would be different enough to use that I can think of would be black or some other "dark" color, white (like a pure spirit or a winter spirit?), or purple maybe

Or it could be a different multicolored spirit.

The figure clearly had a dark-purplish hue, so that kind of narrows things down a bit. I did some research into the actual folklore surrounding the Monkey King, and while a lot his Dota lore and abilities are strongly inspired by the real thing, that particular section of the story takes a rather big turn. The events are the same (the Monkey King being stuck in a deathtrap of sorts but cannot die, so he becomes stronger) but the other characters involved are completely different. I'm not sure which historical mythological figure would correlate to a 4th elemental spirit.

Yeah I just read it so its definitely purple. Void Spirit?

Maybe? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the comic's artist was implying that figure to be Enigma, or even Arc Warden. Both could potentially fill that slot of "4th elemental spirit."

if we are to go by the elements in the traditional sense (earth, air, fire, water, aether) id put my money on aether, meaning its most likely a refferance to enigma. although i would like to see a frost spirit to complete the set :P

Is wind purple? While it is pretty polluted in China I don't think they are quite that bad yet.

It's probably aether but that would mean there's a 5th brother. (earth, air, fire, water, aether) when the comic said 4 spirit brothers. plus storm is essentially air and water already so there's that.

anyone remember the WoW song Power of the Horde?
here's the chorus:

STORM!
Black clouds fill the sky
EARTH!
I hear my battle cry
FIRE!
Thunder we'll bring forth...
DEATH!
From the power of the Horde...

so im thinking its probably either aether or death as a reference to their Warcraft roots
