Description

I don't yet know the specific dark nebulae names for these characters who reside to the right of the base of the Elephant's Trunk [IC 1396] when the trunk points "up". To me they appear as little creatures running in a crouched position, the one especially; others are partially obscured, cloaked, hiding as they sneak up on the elephant...yeah, a strong imaginary interpretation, but fun.


Anyway...
