**H.B.M.C.**

Tail-Squig!

**Snrub**

Tail-pie!

**lord_blackfang**

Baby dino? Or fish elf critter?

**Tastyfish**

I think whatever that thing is it has legs, the angle at the edge of shot seems to be going down to some kind of bird like pelvis.

Looks too skinny to be a tail for locomotion, it's more for balance.

**Geifer**

It's a light elf water buffalo temple guard helmet horn. How do you know it's a light elf water buffalo temple guard helmet horn? Because the light elf water buffalo temple guard helmet horn is equipped for paddling.

**lord_blackfang**

I hate that light elf water temple is a perfectly reasonable guess.

**lost_lilliputian**

I see a tentacle cleaning a window with a chamois cloth.

Anyway I agree it does seem to have a watery vibe somehow, an aquatic creature type maybe.

**Shadow Walker**

Elfish?

Agreed, definitely an elf fish

Dunno, might also be bottom/belly fin. Whatever it is, looks tiny, fish elf critter scale would be about right for it.

**Fayric**

Looks cheerful! Like something doing a tentacle high five.
So, could possibly be a Beast of Nurgle underworlds team.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It’s hard to get a sense of the, aha, scale.

It could be quite dinky, like a Chaos Familiar or those wee critters that follow the Armies of Sigmar. Or, it could horsey sized, and so be a mount.

If it was mount sized, it would definitely have more details.

GW painting team usually only 'cheats' detail by painting them on only on really small bits. This is below skink sized, IMO.

**Jadenim**

Kind of looks like the tails on some of the Necromunda beasties?

**Afrodactyl**

I reckon small base filler lizard/Dino for a Seraphon big Dino/character

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Smoke? Coral? Magic Coral Smoke?

Pie Bag? Sand Squig?

**Shadow Walker**

Plague smoke?

**Tastyfish**

Definitely looks like coral to me, having recently assembled a multitude of playmobil mermaid sets.

**lord_blackfang**

**lost_lilliputian**

It's like trying to find Nemo in there. Or Dory.

Hmm yeah looks like coral to me. Something like the shape of water.

So you're saying some type of borer? Underground? It does actually look remarkably similar

**SamusDrake**

Something new for Idoneth Deepkin, and I'm guessing they'll be early in the new edition of AoS.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Given its multidirectional look, I’m definitely leaning toward Coral, as it’s the only real-world thing I’m aware of that matches.

Whether it’s spectral or not? I dunno. Could be, because of the smooth detailing. But….that could be because a macro lens applied to a tiny base decoration too.

Absolute peak answer.

**Voss**

This feels like they were trying for teasing and made an own goal instead. Swirly gak has peaked.

**Fayric**

What do I see?
A pretty butterfly.

Many moons ago.
