Cover artwork for Ork by the late British artist Richard Clifton-Dey. Psygnosis released Ork in 1991 for the Amiga and Atari ST.

The artwork, entitled Behemoth's World, was flipped and zoomed in a bit when it was originally used a decade earlier for Blue Öyster Cult's 7th album Cultösaurus Erectus.

The Ouroboros, sometimes called Uroborus, is an ancient emblem portraying a dragon or serpent devouring its own tail. Its name is rooted in Greek: oura meaning “tail” and boros meaning “eating,” together signifying “the one who consumes its tail.” Ouroboros embodies profound ideas. It conveys the endless rhythm of existence—birth, death, and renewal—while pointing toward eternity, immortality, and the notion of perpetual return, much like the mythic phoenix rising again from its ashes. Beyond the cycle of life, it also stands for the primal unity of all things, a force present before beginnings, indestructible and eternal. Throughout history, this symbol has carried weight in religious traditions and mythologies, and it became central in alchemical drawings, representing the circular process of transformation. The Ouroboros is equally tied to Gnostic and Hermetic teachings, where it illustrates the inseparable link between creation, destruction, and rebirth.
