The real question here is: "What is that giant looking at on the far left?"
I really does look like that, but if you look closely you will find it's just a branch thing coming from the corner of the screen.
My guess is Supercell wanted it to look more holloweenish so they wrapped him in toilet paper to look like a mummy, so because of Halloween, yes. Not really sure why they didn't do as much pumkin stuff, but they made up for it with the mushroomsAlso, not smoke, again, it's a twiggy-branch thing.
Why mummys are halloweenish... I think there was this hollowed eve thing to honnor the dead saints of something and people got carried away with dead stuff, but I'm really not sure!
For those troll callers and grumps out there, you may go visit another thread and give this guy a break.
It's clearly a mummy made for a Halloween themed loading screen. If they were going to make a new dark troop and put it on this loading screen, it would have been released with the Halloween
The original image, the barbarian is in the same position. They just made him look like a Mummy... for the sake of the THEME.
It's not difficult to understand...
