Illustration of a large carp with two human legs protruding from its flanks, standing upright with the help of its tail. It wears a metal chain around its neck, with a pendant in the shape of a crowned legged fish. It wears a belt with a purse and knife hanging from it. The legs wear green hoses. Above it, text reads: "The Ooze Cellar 10, Arienay, JAN 2026, Thank You"
