Cavalier unit looks like a crab

Not in that picture but the 3rd level unit Cavalier always looks odd to me - not that I see much of it. Almost crab like when it's against a hex like grasslands. I have to look hard at it to see the horse. I think it's because something's going on towards the rear end of the horse that I can't make out. the other two units in that tree are fine but this one always gave me problems.

Anyone else seeing this?

The back of the cavalier does seem to be poorly defined. Maybe some artist should sharpen that part of the image up and make it clear what that part of the cavalier is. On the other hand, I'm not so sure that it resembles a crab.

yep, i see your problem.

To add a 'weird' unit: the male ArchMage looks pretty nauseated at my screen: http://wesnoth.slack.it/units.cgi?page= ... t=ArchMage

The back of the Cavalier is "poorly defined" because he is carrying a crossbow. Although I do agree it looks rather odd, it makes sense.

I like when it upgrades because he gets stronger

But it's ugly as a dead bird! which hasn't died of natural courses before you ask.
