He could be foraging for tangerines
Elden Ringis already home to a lot of rotten creatures.
Serpent snails that spit at you, ulcerated spirits with bark for skin, a big pair of hands.
All that’s from a single but pithyXweet.

A picture that depicts what looks like a hunched-over, sinewy guy who’s dressed in frayed robes.
But the highlight is his head, a large basket seemingly woven from his own root-like spinal cord?
Inside, a bunch of orange orbs, or are they lesions?
And these orbs even dangle off his beard, too.
I bet lots of creatures, like Orb Guy, feast on it.
I suppose so, but also… no?
As Edwin points out inThe Maw, he does seem relatively chill and unlikely to stare us to death.
There’s almost certainly a guarantee that he’ll explode on death, too.
Maybe we’re getting it all mixed up.
Maybe those orbs are tangerines and Orb Guy simply wants to get by in an otherwise bleak world.
I suppose we’ll find out when Elden Ring launches on the 21st June.
