Yeah, we finally got it removed from the main Tabletop Games page, but the bad one is still at WOD. Some possible better ones from here, both of Vykos:

1.1 seems fine.

1.2 has a big watermark that appears to be part of the original image but ends up making it look confused (admittedly a very common thing in old WOD images)

4 is pretty cool.

Bump; any other thoughts?

Four just looks like a face with a caption to me and no improvement on the current image.

I don't know the work either image is from. Both images leave me asking how the image shows me that what's going on is an unusual level of monstrosity for the universe concerned to depict the trope.

Both of them are just a face with a caption to me. Yes, the second image shows a character licking blood off his hand. But he doesn't look human, so how do I know a different moral code isn't at work (which is a different trope). Why is he licking blood off his hands anyway? How do I know it represents something that is an unusual level of monstrosity for the universe concerned?

Even with the suggested caption, I have no idea why he's apparently the 'monster' of his universe. To be honest, I'm not sure how a visual image can depict the trope - the vast majority of the Monster images on the other sub-pages also don't describe the trope to me (often the caption doesn't help either - the Monster.Comic Books image is particularly bad), so my only alternative suggestion is no image at all.

I think the image problems are wider than just this sub-page.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

You may have a point (though with the Comics one, you can see the burning bodies; I like these too). Honestly, I'd PREFER no image at Tabletop Games over the current image, in which you can't even SEE the CM.

Looks like we keep inadvertently weeding out oversized pics. Good riddance.

I like the caption in 4.

Yes, 4 is good.

Does anyone know which game the new pic is from?
