Today is the first day of Asura Week for Guild Wars 2 and the first of many features on the flappy-eared race of tinkerers has been posted by Concept Artist Matt Barrett. The blog offers a look at the evolution of the asura and how they went from a Golem-like to their more current form, which makes them easy to underestimate.

The little people themselves were conceived originally as scrawny, creepy, Gollum-like, gnome-y creatures, with pointy red hats, arcane mutterings, and pale skin. They were to be mischievous, dwelling on the fringes of society, scavenging mysterious artifacts of their advanced neighbors.

Check out the full blog with art and video to learn more about the Asura.
