    Do I? 'Looks' as in present tense because it resembles the nymphs in that tribe. 'Looked' would be past tense as in it used to look like (or looked like in the past) a nymph in that tribe. Posted 2 years ago

      Now I'm confused. I meant to imply its dead now, but now no longer know which word to use for it, thanks :) Posted 2 years ago

        Ohhh, I wondered if you meant that, but thought it was too macabre and presumptive, although likely true. ;P
        
        So, we can say that it looks similar to what it looked like. Either way, it's tense. Posted 2 years ago
