Many of you are gonna think 'wait they did, in AF v.1.23', but hold that thought,... what would happen if Narya and Walter took the same form at the same time? who would Tanaraq invade first, if at all? Would it be the mystic body that he can enter easily, or the form he's for the most part bonded to? Along the same lines, since, genetically, both Walt and Narya ARE the same person (since Walt IS in Narya's original body - a plot I'd like to see FINALLY resolved) [I don't know how resolved this plot-twist will ever be because, to complicate matters even more, Ranaq "transferred" his dying whatever-it-was (spirit, maybe) into a probably-pregnant/soon-to-be pregnant SNOWBIRD, so in effect PESTILENCE not only high-jacked Snowbird's son's power but whatever residuals of Ranaq and Tanaraq were residing in her as well---IMO; at this point, I'd love to know what, if anything, John Byrne would've done with all of this. I bet it would've been good. Garry/Al-Fan]
...On the note of "assuming that's something Tanaraq would want to do", I'd think it'd be something he'd not only WANT to do, but jump at the chance, since the Arctic gods are the blood-enemy of the Great Beasts, the chance to not only take one out, but 'convert' them to the Dark Side would probably be the Great Beasts' version of a wet-dream....
