There were many notable new characters in Shadow of the Erdtree's first trailer: future controller-snapping megaboss Messmer, zombie Lion Dance guy, gross bisected and impaled old dude, and, of course, the Wicker Man. The true people's champion, however, seems to have been squirreled away in supplemental promo screenshots—I'm talking about the little worm guy.
Blue and ethereal, it seems to occupy the same zone of the Realm of Shadow as the duel between a samurai and a dervish shown part way through the trailer. At the end of its wrinkly body is a small, surprised face like a wizened Shy Guy, with two diminutive arms sprouting out of its trunk, wildly out of proportion to the rest of its body.
