Hmmm, so they do.  But...the official name of that set is “Earth Ghost Dragon”.  The dragon is undead, and I always assumed that the warriors in the elementals sets were too, raised as servants by the dragon.  Even if they’re living Vorgans who just happen to have glowing, ghostly weapons and shields, the set can hardly be held to depict an ordinary relationship between dragon and man(-beast).

...Of course, the Plasma line would later establish that there are definitely living dragons (such as Tailtorn) who ally with the Vorgans.  So there’s that.

Still, I stand by my theory regarding the aesthetic reasons behind the nogards’ existence.
