I wanna say it's a Gargoyle; there were a few back in the original Ravnica block.

The Simic Keyrune has Mom's head. This image won't leave my mind.

Since no one has said it, the Azorius dude is Isperia Skywatch from daygl0s post.

And here I thought it was from GTC. So many knight on giant flying things in Azorius.

Boros - Giant
Dimir - Spirit
Gruul - Rhino
Simic - ???
Orzhov - Gargoyle

[Kyrillos]

Boros- Knight
Dimir- Spider. The head is close to the middle of the keyrune, the tail is at the top. six legs? Kinda sketchy, but that's what's displayed.
Gruul - Rhino
Simic - I'd like to say Cephalid, but it's likely some sort of mollusk
Orzhov - Gargoyle or Bat

I'm not going to lie, I am quite shocked people think that the Orzhov thing is going to be a gargoyle.

I mean, it's not impossible....but thrull? It looks like an Orzhov thrull, and they were referenced incredibly heavily throughout the Orzhov storyline/flavor/cards...if it isn't a thrull, I will be extremely surprised.

Orzhov: Thrull

Mmmmmmmm nah, I'm thinking
barbarian or warrior or something similar for Gruul,
Merfolk for simic (they're new on Rav now in some hidden ocean or something),
And gargoyle or construct for orzhov.

Dimir is prolly spirit and boros is prolly soldier.

Who knows though! I like speculation, its fun lol

Edit: am I the only one who read about the merfolk on the mothership? Anyone? Bueller?

[Shaomu]

Someone said the Dimir one looks like a dagger... Flying Scimitar-like creature?

It's a thrull. Orzhov gargoyles don't have masks.

This art is pretty awesome, still can't wait for Gatecrash or Sinker.

I'm going to say Simic is Ooze or Mutant. Dimir might be Horror. Gruul looks weird (not the creature type). Warrior? Lizard?

[Lully]

I gotta say these arts are all very evocative. I love cycles with similar positioning in the art.

[Jedezter]

The Simic looks like a Kraken...

[Passthechips]

Gruul looks like a Rhox/Rhino Warrior. Orzhov is almost 100% a thrull with lifelink.
