This image depicts seven blue spirits / creatures, all conglomerated around each other. The biggest is to the right, centre, and it is done in a sky blue. It has a seal-like head and upper body, and then has tentacle-like extremities, nine in total, all swirling in different directions. The other 6 spirit-creatures look like crouching land mammals with small ears and puffy tails. There are 3 stacked beside the largest creature, the smallest on the bottom, with the other two in line with one another on top of the first. These are drawn in navy, with stripes of the same sky-blue as the largest creature. There are two creatures above these, with their tails facing one another. They are done in sky blue, with orange stripes. The last creature is to the right of the last two, and above the biggest. It is done in sky blue with navy stripes. Surrounding the creatures is blank space, they are grouped together in the centre.
