Is Riven an Ahamkara?
I've seen a few articles claim Riven is an Ahamkara, but do we know for sure? What gives me doubts about Riven being an Ahamkara is that the body/head look nothing like you would expect it to look like from the Ahamkara bones/skulls we've had on our armor. If Riven is a wish dragon, then why does the body bear such little resemblance to the shape of the bones?

I believe Riven could very well be an Ahamkara. Uldren seems to be wearing scales similar to those on armor related to the Ahamkara, and Mara’s dialogue fits in with their common phrases. Also, it’s important to note that the boss you fight is labeled as “The Voice of Riven,” not actually Riven, so it could have simply been some kind of physical projection or something. On a more comical note, I saw the tentacles in the cutscene and thought to myself, “Okay. Can’t wait to fight THAT in the raid,” assuming that was the end of the campaign. Then I went straight into the boss fight and realized, “Oh, not part of the raid.” Just wanted to share that.
