Ahamkara: What Do They Look Like
There are arguments for all of these. The two specific options (Dragon or Basilisk) are the ones I will give example(s) for, but you can share theories and such in the comments.
The image shown is the early concept art for the Ahamkara. In the image, we see no wings, but a large snake-like creature.
Now, for the much more popular theory, that the Ahamkara look like dragons. This theory is backed by many as the Ghost Fragment "Warlocks" stats that the Ahamkara are dragons that made promises. Dragons, tend to be depicted as having wings. However, the term "dragon" simply means a monster like a giant reptile. As for more shoddy information, Xur has been quoted saying "There are no birds where I come from. The things that fly, are like shadows". Shadows could mean obscurity, which means rare. And the Ahamkara, would most definitely be rare after being nearly hunted to extinction. Or, I could be crazy, and shadows could actually mean, shadows.
Edit: The flying creatures on Venus are not Ahamkara. They are batadactyls, as said by a [b]Bungie dev[/b].

I can't remember the exact grimoire card, but I know that they have been compared to "overgrown bats" which seems pretty believable. I feel like they look like a bat, except without fur, and with a tail and feathers. They would have scales and feathers just like a dinosaur.
-
I like to picture them looking like trogdor the burnanator, no dragon looks better
-
I don't think they'd be as big as in that picture. Then armour wouldn't be made from them. Unless the armour is made from babies that are much much smaller

1 ReplyTalking space dragons, duh. They might also taste delicious.

According to the AnonPig guy he seems to think that the ribs of the Dragons are what's on Skolas's back.. LoL stupidest theory I've read on these forums.. That guy needs to layoff the midday koolaid!

You can buy a Ahamkara mount for only $20!

Content that you have to pay for.

3 RepliesIsn't there a giant skeletal rib cage at the end of The awakening mission? It's off to the right side of the room and snakes around the perimeter. Are these the remains of an Ahamkara? It would be about the size of the creature in the image you linked.

3 RepliesThat's something else interesting. We really did lose EVERYTHING after the collapse. Those guardians are using spears. Even there ghosts look different, but that could just be cause they didn't decide what they wanted ghosts to look like yet.

15 RepliesThese things are curious. They have anapsid skulls (essentially skulls with no holes at the temples; extinct early reptiles exhibited this trait), but their overall skull appearance is canine (see here the heavy bottom jaw, well-defined canine teeth). Then, it gets weirder when you look at an Ahamkara's apparent claws. Three-toed talons with no balancing back claw (at least, that we can see) means these were most likely their forefeet (unless they were bipedal, in which case hands). These talons look similar in appearance to raptor claws (yes, as in raptor-dinosaur). The weirdest is the Dire Ahamkara's Skull, which holds almost no similarity to its juvenile form. Apparently, when growing from juvenile to adult to dire forms (this is my guess as to how they age physically), they lose teeth and gain more body and bone mass. Note that the Dire Ahamkara skull is not a complete skull, so its overall cranial volume looks to be roughly between 1.5 - 2 times our own, which would explain why Guardians were seeking them out for help. Clever girl...

I'm sure they're bird like. Most likely scales instead of feathers
