Suggestion: Beware My Stinger Tail

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

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.

How about this picture of Ridley from Metroid?

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.

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.

FWIW 5 is already being used in one of the Metroid character pages.

[up]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.

[up]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?

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.)

2.2. has twelve votes in favour, I think we can call this.
