Looks like a walking eyeball from some 12 bit cartridge game to me.

ooh, that's pretty close. she could take that into the tattoo guy and say, "just like this. except, the opposite. you know, without all the suck."

it's either a flupejack, as described the 13th century alchemist Wackadoodle the Elder or it's a ancient mesopotamian representation of the phenomena known as Mis-Directed Panspermia

looks like Cyaegha... or I guess you could go as far as to say it's one of the spawn of Othuyeg.

But it is intended to be a space filler. Alot of the little doodles in Chaosium books are.

Although it does bear a striking resemblance to the dreaded Flupejacks...

But why call them Flupejacks if they dont taste like flupe?!?
look at the time... with your eyeballs.

go on now, do it.
