Truly, there are few games that could work me into a lather with a single, context-free image of a new enemy, but Elden Ring is certainly one of them. The official Elden Ring Twitter account casually dropped the new nasty boy—who was not featured in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion's first trailer—this morning.
"Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow," the tweet reads. Alright, yeah, I think I could have guessed that. The real meat here is in the image: a gold mask-wearing, grey skinned thing with Omen horns, twin round blades (think the Daedric Crescent from Morrowind, I'm not cultured enough to know what the real life counterpart might be), and stark white hair draping down over the mask and through one of its eye holes. The creature appears contorted and bent over, with its head hanging by its feet, like it's doing yoga or, as PCG contributor Jon Bolding pointed out, maybe looking for a lost contact.
