I'm not all that crazy about either, to be honest. Here's some other options: Iratu from Slightly Damned, Scorpion from Spider-Man
I like Scorpion since his tail is front-and-center.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Either Scorpion or Ridley for me. Both make it clear that (a) the protruding spiky thing is actually their tail (b) the tail is attacking front and center.
I'll go 2.2.
(Annoyed grunt)2.2 or 5.1.
Check out my fanfiction!2.2.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Not sure on Scorpion, feels little like it lacks in the "Stinger" (as in, it looks a bit lacking as a weapon) department. The Ridley one though looks nice.

5.1 is the best image suggested so far (2.2 is second), so I'll add my vote for the former.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!FWIW 5 is already being used in one of the Metroid character pages.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?Really, huh? I didn’t actually know that. Guess I was out of the loop for that one, then.
If we’re not planning on changing the pic there on Ridley’s page any time soon, then, well, I’m okay for Scorpion.
I personally don't see character page/trope dupes as too unforgivable an issue, but I'm sure we can find a replacement for the Ridley pic. Consensus is a bit split on 2.2/5, is it too early to crowner this?

Personally I prefer the current just since it shows the tail weapon doesn't necessarily have to be shaped like a stinger.
Well there is Glavenus from Monster Hunter which has a sword for a tail, though problem with that one is that unless you know what you are looking at, it is hard to tell that it is a sword and looks more like a regular tail slap.
so should we hook a crowner up?
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Went ahead and made one. Included the current since there's support for it. (Note that some options are wikia files, so you'll have to copy the link directly into the browser to view at full quality.)

Thanks, it's hooked.
Votes bump; three in the green.
2.2. has twelve votes in favour, I think we can call this.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
I know the current image does show the trope, but I would like to make a suggestion that just puts a bit more empathize on the tail itself.
My current suggestion is this one from Code Vein
