Yes, they appear to be the bones of the wings without the membranes in between.

More polite, than nice. Although she seems to be deceiving her self about just how she's getting those souls.

Willow's probably afraid that Mother is going to eat the soul of whomever she's with right now.

Aren't dragons supposed to be immortal though?

Crimson they are not so much spider legs but more like dragon wings like you would see in a dragon skeleton

Estragon

Woah! Approach with caution!

Wow, that looks amazing

Her design is terrifying and ominous. I note the prescence of spiderlike legs. I feel that she is not a very good mother to her children...Laura should probably be a little perturbed.

For anyone not in the know, Tom gave an awesome lore drop on Willow's Mother towards the end of last Sunday's stream. Here's a summary for those who don't want to hunt on their own: Willow's mother, whom Willow just calls Mother, was one of the first dragons to exist. As she aged, she became obsessed with mortality and horrified at the thought of dying. In an effort to make herself totally immune from death, she began to consume black mana crystals to gain their power and make herself truly immortal. As she did this, the black mana in the crystals began to replace her natural mana and corrupt her from her original draconic form. Eventually, this corruption made her unable to fly, and so she began to split off pieces of her magical essence and send them out to bring her souls to convert to black mana and consume. These pieces became the Will-o-wisps that haunt the forest where Willow lives. As Willow's Mother still viewed herself as a dragon and a creature of good, instead of outright killing travelers, she instructed the wisps to lead them astray in the wood, where they would eventually wander until they starved or met unfortunate accidents. After this, the wisps would return the travelers' souls to their Mother for her to consume. Willow herself is one of these wisps that spent too long away from her Mother and began to develop her own will. She wandered aimlessly through the wood until the day she met an unlucky lioness who had wandered into the forest and become lost. Willow tried to help her, but her nature made her lead the lioness to her untimely demise. After her death, Willow used her magic to create a simulacrum (like a magic golem) of her friend, which she now uses as her "body". That leads us up to the point where we would meet Willow in the project. Her Mother would be a mysterious presence throughout the story that would only be fully revealed at the climax. Sorry if I got any of that wrong, Tom! Super cool design! Love the way she blends with the scenery and the creepy orb hanging in the space between her horns! Thanks as always!
