It is merely a sketch though, which means that the design might still be subject to change as development for the new season moves forward.
However, with the current design, the "American Horror Story" season 7 creature will without a doubt feel right at home with the gallery of beasts and monsters introduced on the show.
"American Horror Story" season 7 is inspired from the recent United States presidential election between Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Donald Trump.
The latter's presidency has been subject to intense criticism with television shows taking a jab at his administration. It is unknown if "American Horror Story" will be one of these shows as well.
Murphy emphasized that Clinton and Trump will not be portrayed in the series, but will instead be featured in the form of actual footage from the election.
He recently teased to E! Online that the first 10 minutes of "American Horror Story" season 7 will take place "in a very eerie macabre way on election night."
"There's something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on election night as they're watching it all go down, which in itself was a horror story, so it's like a horror story upon a horror story," he went on to say.
Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are currently the only confirmed cast members from the past seasons for "American Horror Story" season 7. Billy Eichner and Billie Lourd will join them as newcomers to the field.
"American Horror Story" season 7 will premiere this October on FX.
