An Atlantean faction?! AWESOME!!Your right, it does look like an elephant. But unfortunately it is not. That bit of the symbol isn't even a head. Hell, we don't even know if that symbol even has a head. Yes, that's right, the symbol is that of Cthulhu. How could it not be?
On second thought... I'd say it's definately an indian elephant judging by the size of its ears.

Atlantean? Are you dreaming? Cthulhu is Dagonic culture, and sure R'lyeh was a dominant faction before the arrival of the Mi Go, thats a little bit before the EB period.An Atlantean faction?! AWESOME!!....
Now an Old One faction based in Antarctica, with giant penguin militia, cata-shoggoths and lorica squamata would balance the lack of southern hemisphere factions. If I was a noob I could start a thread demanding WHEN WILL EB2 BE READY AND WILL THERE BE ONE OR SEVERAL SHOGGOTH UNITS AVAILABLE?

Stop playing with my emotions....On second thought... I'd say it's definately an indian elephant judging by the size of its ears.
Hey they're not seriously denying it, just diverting us with Lovecraft references...maybe there's something in this? Or will there really be AOR Fungi from Yuggoth and Deep Ones?

Don't they teach you kids the Necronomicon in school any more?
Cthulu is r'lyehic. Or maybe Vhoorlian.
On topic though, I think it kind of looks like a lion, with the head being at the far right of the picture.

puh-leeeese. Justy because a nameless entity is born in a stable doesn't make it a horse. R'lyeh is just the city where dead Cthulhu lies dreaming....Cthulu is r'lyehic. Or maybe Vhoorlian...
Vhoorl, well you certainly have me there, wiki mentions a reference to it in Whisperer in Darkness: i had not registered that is was a HP reference. I guess "Nameless-gulfs-beyond Time-and-Space-ian" would break the culture limit.
I equated him with the children of Dagon because of the shared motif of Pacific sea-floor buildings occasionally surfacing (Dagon and Call of Cthulhu both feature this). Also Dagonic is pretty mucht he same as Punic so it'd fit.

Maybe there's been a lurch back in favour of Cyrenaica? Or a second Numidian area faction? Oooh, African complexity!...On topic though, I think it kind of looks like a lion, with the head being at the far right of the picture.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
All the talk about an animal facing right, then bulls, then bulls w/humps (Indian bulls, brahman bull, etc) led me on a google image search to the above. Search for "nandi" and you can see a lot more. Nothing exact, but there is a resemblance...
I don't remember how I got there (searching for bull coins I think) I came upon something of an Indo-Scythian empire that existed in EB's timeframe. Not that I follow much of the technical info regarding culture slots and whatnot, but if there isn't one available for an Indian faction, would the Scythian/Saka aspect allow these guys to fit - that is if they meet all the other requrements of an EB faction?
The Indo-Scythians are represented in EB by the Saka Rauka taking over Baktria and India, along with the resulting reforms.
Hmmm to me it kind of looks like a cat? I tried to throw it in paint, inverse colours and follow along with the pencil... and while I was playing connect the dots I think I drew a cat... and a cat, to me, indicates an Egyptian region faction? Any chance it could be a faction nearby/underneath the Ptolmey? (btw apologies if this idea has already surfaced, I am struggling for time and failed to read earlier pages).
