One of the ‘Elden Ring’ DLC’s “fearsome foes” looks like a uterus
nme.comElden Ring‘s upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, will have “fearsome foes of unfathomable power”, and, in-keeping with FromSoftware’s frequent use of body, mother, and childbirth imagery, one looks like a uterus and ovaries.The fearsome foe in question is hunched over with their arms beside them holding vicious curved blades.
The creature has a shattered golden mask and numerous twisted horns growing from their head. This looks like a boss, but knowing FromSoftware it could just as easily be a standard enemy.This enemy being posed to look like reproductive organs is likely no mistake, as this is a theme consistent throughout Elden Ring.
There’s a cocoon on an altar in the optional Mohgwyn Palace area. You can find it after beating Mohg, Lord of Blood. An arm hangs down from it, and the whole thing looks like a ruptured womb.Many believe this to be Miquella, returned to a womb to grow.
The altar’s pelvic shape lends authority to this theory.Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow. #EldenRing #ShadowoftheErdtree pic.twitter.com/FanctKb6DC— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 17, 2024There are many other instances of motherhood themes throughout Elden Ring.
