Elden Ring's Latest Enemy Reveal Looks Familiar For More Than One Reason
Elden Ring developer FromSoftware has teased another gruesome foe ahead of the release of its highly anticipated DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, next month.
An image of the enemy, a gold-faced, long-haired being with bladed disc-like weapons, was shared on the official Elden Ring X (formerly Twitter) account. Story details about how the unnamed creature fits into the wider world of Elden Ring were not revealed, leaving players to guess how it may play a part.
“Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow,” the post says.

Players speculate that the hunched, golden-dress-wearing enemy may be one of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s new bosses. Some have gone as far as to guess that the creature may be related to Godwyn the Golden, as they share a similar scar on their back. The enemy also features the same, twisted Omen horns as Mohg and Morgott, Godwyn’s brothers.
It’s hard to guess exactly how the mysterious enemy fits into Elden Ring lore without playing Shadow of the Erdtree for ourselves, but some theories do have us scratching our heads. There have also, of course, been plenty of fans pointing out that the image FromSoftware shared looks undeniably like a uterus.
