With Elden Ring's enormous Shadow of the Erdtree expansion currently enthralling millions (probably), there's a lot of interest in FromSoftware's esoteric fantasy world. An entire cottage industry exists that examines its games in minute detail, teasing out lore tidbits and giving players a glimpse at things the developer never intended them to see. Warning: minor Shadow of the Erdtree spoilers to follow!
A driving force in this community, dataminer Zullie the Witch, has plumbed the depths of the Shadow Lands, peeling off armour sets and rotting rags to reveal what a cool 25 NPCs really look like underneath. Being FromSoftware, though there is no in-game way to see these characters in this state, each gets a unique face model, replete with potentially story-telling scars, marks, or absences. Case in point, the Hornsent, despite what you might have been led to believe, is entirely hornless underneath.
