Ghost Tail

Ghost Tail is an image composition technique used in anime, comics, and manga to give the impression that an entity has a tail, but the tail is not visible or detailed. It is often used to imply that a character has a tail which is not visible, or it can be used to imply a character moving quickly by showing a motion blur of the tail. This technique is often used to give a character a sense of movement or supernatural ability.
