'Primordial' up there, channeling the element of Hydro, seems to be the 'default' state of the Vishaps. they're shark dinosaur dragons! How can you not like them? It's nothing that we realistically haven't seen in other games before, but it is pretty new to Genshin and I do like that the game seems to be trying to diversify how its dragons look.

The Vishaps of Enkanomiya aren't exactly the original types, since there's a fair amount of experimentation that the ancient Enkanomiyans did to the Vishaps' ancestors, but they still look pretty cool! The original stills that I saw of these creatures weren't super-impressive, but in motion, and in better angles? The Bathysmal Vishaps are basically shark-dragons with your typical amount of anime-monster-dragon grooves and spines, but they do really look super-cool. Turns out that, according to Enkanomiya's lore, there's a whole realm of Vishaps running around in the past - they used to rule over Teyvat before humanity (and maybe some divine aid) pushed them back into the dark realms. I did find it rather interesting that they specified those creatures as Geovishaps, alluding to the existence of other types of Vishaps. The primary enemy type introduced in Enkanomiya are a variant of the 'Vishaps' - or rather, a variation of the Geovishaps that prowl the land of Liyue.
