That's an Ancient, isn't it?

Fork-like tail, multiple limbs, spikes on its back, long, skinny appearance. Uses the relic chair in a 'ghost reliving its past life'-manner.

Cool easter egg and quite interesting.

Looks like it.

It actually goes well with the conversation in that other thread about the Archive Statues, with the little ")".
I called it a mouth, but here it looks like it would be accurate to call it an eye.

Unfortunately, this does seem like another page of "we know less and less with each update" though.

It could also just be the case of 'shadow-ification is not a 1-to-1 process'. After all, even in the commonly believed theory that Ancients became Terrorbeaks there are some differences and changes, such as their tails becoming their legs or their shells and heads turning into a beak.

I wouldn't put it pass that there are multiple, different types of shadow creatures that Ancients became. After all Ancient Herald is an Ancient and he differs from the statues even more.

This guy is unironically my favourite part of the update. They look most like the classic shadow creatures back in 2013. The new hooded trio I feel iffy about currently with their art.

Only inconsistency is their eye being fully white, when shadow creatures have generally had transparent eyes.

Ancient fried rice? You're telling me an Ancient fried it?

Looks like it, but also isn't that most other Shadows?

All shadows sorta share bodily traits with the Ancient statues. They're all spike-y/bug like in their way, ignoring the obscure examples like the ocean ones.

Herald's a funny example.

But yeah, the funny Chair shadow is my favorite part of this update, absolutely. I love it to death.

I was under the impression the shadow creatures in general are what is left of the ancients? the statues even look like em. 

That's been the general idea.

It does warrant the question of whether they are all 'variants' and a certain level of 'warping' occurs with the diluted stuff (nightmare fuel) compared to Pure Horror, and what exactly the [new] presence of a 'Horror' variant showing up with the gateway being completed entails.
