Elden Ring might have launched more than six months ago, but even without DLC, it appears there is still stuff out there in The Lands Between waiting to be found. In fairness, some of that stuff was never meant to be found, such as this Miquella glitch which makes the Empyrean awkwardly emerge from his cocoon and sort of just, stand there.
The discovery was made by LoneWolf4247 who shared it on Reddit (thanks, GameRant). As you can see from the screenshot they shared, as they do battle with Mohg, the Lord of Blood who kidnapped Miquella, the previously encased character is standing upright watching the fight go down. Well, more staring blankly into the middle distance than watching.

This is a glitch and not some cool new feature LoneWolf4247 has stumbled upon, of course. Miquella is actually supposed to stay hidden in his cocoon for the duration of Elden Ring's story. Miquella has locked himself within that self-made prison in the hope it will allow him to age. Both he and Malenia, a character some players will know very well, have been cursed to stay young forever. Sounds good on the surface, but clearly Miquella is tired of it.
Some Elden Ring players who have seen the post above have hypothesized Miquella will have a bigger role to play should the game ever get story DLC. Although most of his story in the base game is for the sake of Mohg and Malenia, it feels like it would be a waste if Miquella doesn't officially burst out of that cocoon and attack players at some point. Seems he would make a pretty formidable boss.
That stuff like this and even things that aren't glitches are still being discovered so many months after
