It's long thin and has suckers.
Coming from a concealed point of origin the logicial deduction is that it comes from the octosquid squidipus, which has lots of long thin things with suckers.

I was merging the word octopus and squid, but yes you are correct.
I am changing octosquid to squidipus.

It looks like a road to me, from the castle.
It doesn't have suckers, but central markers, as a road would.
GAME, SET, AND CHECKMATE!

But they're not thin enough to be central markers. And roads are dark and the markers light, not the other way around.
And they're rounded. They're suckers.

The suckers are concentric rings, the road markings are filled rounded rectangles.
The proportions are artistic, not realistic.
To be fair, though, I don't care :)
