To add to both Tierrie and the Milkman's points, I would say that since there have been no complaints (to my knowledge) regarding the image, it is difficult to see how the image could be construed as obscene or offensive (I need not go into it being classed as pornographic, as to suggest somebody may see that image as pornography is frankly absurd). Users at the DA wiki have thus far voted unanimously that the image does not viloate the ToU, and, in conjunction with what Tierrie wrote, I am disheartened by Wikia's decision to moderate wikis themselves, instead of leaving it to wiki users. Speaking personally, I view this as a censorship crusade which restricts users' ability to fulfill the purpose of a wiki.

In regard to the suggested replacement, I (and I am sure many others) would be unhappy with a headshot as it could simply be seen as a human wearing heavy makeup with some unnatural qualities such as red eyes (such qualities - as I am sure you are aware - are something of a benaility in fantasy like Dragon Age). To understand the true monstrousness of such creatures, the current image is needed.
