If you don't know, the original design for Mirrors was going to have many body parts duplicated:
[quote=Undel]Mirrors are called mirrors because they initially had a lot more duplicate body parts (in their initial sketch they had two sets of eyes, two tails, two sets of wings, and two sets of front legs.) Since so many body parts were duplicated/mirrored, they were called mirror dragons. The name stuck even after we opted not to have them have all the extras. :)[/quote]
I feel like it was a good decision to remove them for a main breed, but for an ancient breed with no restrictions? A plague-ridden, pustule covered beast with extra limbs, wings, and tails that probably crawled straight out of the Wyrmwound itself would be dope.
TL,DR: Old Mirror concept would make a smashing Ancient Breed.

I remember them saying it looked really silly, so i'm not actually sure how likely this is. But it would still be fun!

For the most part, support - I'd prefer it if these 'proto-Mirrors' were easily distinguishable from their modern counterparts and unique in their morphology with a few similarities here and there (like Geolers and Tundras); a second Mirror just with extra limbs may not be popular, alas. Not to mention, ancients aren't alternative versions of existing breeds per say, but the ancestors of dragonkind today - they might have similar attributes, but aren't Mirrors. I'd take it Plaguebringer took inspiration from her previous children when creating Mirrors, but didn't just remove the extra limbs and call it a day, y'know?

Well, of course! They'd be reminiscent of Mirrors- like how Gaolers are reminiscent of Tundras- but they'd be their own thing.

I'd be down for crazy multi-limbed breeds, but not the actual original unreleased mirror designs. Apparently they looked bad XD
Here's a way-back-when quote from undel's dA account, specifying why they were changed
Quote:
They are called Mirror dragons because Akiri and I agreed wanted the design to be based on multiples. Dual tail, 4 arms, 4 eyes, 4 wings... all sorta... "mirrored". The thing is the dragon looked fugly so we ditched all the multiples save the eyes. >.>; And Flight Rising is a project we are working on but more information is not currently available. We want a the project to be farther along before we begin seriously teasing people with it.

Now a total revamp of the original concept taking inspiration from the spirit of the design? I'd totally support that

There definitely should be a multiple limbed/winged/tailed ancient dragon.
