Needs Help: Living Polyhedron

It noticed this one while browsing through the Image Suggestion thread. The image that is currently on Living Polyhedron is, from what I can gather, the same example that also illustrates the page for Sinister Geometry. The former trope is a living creature with simple shapes like cubes or cones. The latter is any type of architecture that is scary because of its geometric simplicity.

I personally think it's a better illustration for the latter trope than the former, since it's hard to get "living creature" from it as opposed to, say, a curiously-designed spaceship. I had suggested this image of the Gelatinous Cube from Forgotten Realms before someone put up the current image in the interium. Thoughts or better suggestions?

Opening,

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

A visual pun is probably too risky for such a trope.

I agree that the current isn't good; I'd even say it's JAFAAC. The suggestion, though, doesn't really show the "living" part very well either.

How about the Dodecahedron from Phantom Tollbooth?

Looks like a normal crop here.

Looks like a living enemy and a simple shape. Good enough for me.

Agreed, 7 is pretty good. And downsizing it to fit he 350px width limit barely affects the clarity.
