Well, that is most unfortunate, because - given all the long years of discussion regarding the identity of the critter, there has been little discussion regarding the nature of the line, and the line *is* the key to the critter's identification.
The line is a nebuly line. The VMs artist's familiarity with the use of a nebuly line as a cloud band / cosmic boundary is demonstrated in the VMs cosmos. The failure to correctly name this line with proper heraldic terminology is why valid interpretation is perpetually thwarted.
Armadillos and pangolins have absolutely no association with nebuly lines in any context I have ever seen.
