Screenshot from the video game Dragon Age: The Veilguard The image shows a dimly lit, ornate room featuring a large stone statue and an elaborately detailed table. The stone statue depicts a creature with a toad-like form and an exaggerated, stylized animal head, sitting on a wide base. Its surface is rough and textured, reflecting a bluish-gray colour due to the lighting. The room is decorated with an intricate geometric pattern on the walls and composed of tall columns that frame metal lattice windows, allowing some light to filter through. The floor is tiled with large, rectangular stones. On the left, a small, lit brazier emits a warm glow, contrasting with the cooler tones. In the foreground, the table has an elevated design with a geometric pattern on its top surface.

This statue always makes me think of Tiddalik, the giant frog from Indigenous Australian creation stories.

'School children around Australia also know of the creation story of the #Tiddalik boulder, a frog that kept drinking more than his fill of water until his greed turned him into stone.'
