At time mark 20:11 of [ep.10 in _Miss Kobayashi's Dragon
Maid_](http://www.crunchyroll.com/miss-kobayashis-dragon-
maid/episode-10-troupe-dragon-on-stage-they-had-a-troupe-name-huh-728819),
Tohru gives to her a Christmas present to help with back pain. She opens the
present, which is apparently some sort of living creature from Tohru's world
which must be ground up before use. However, the anime on both Crunchyroll and
Funimation censor it with a heavily pixelated effect.

What is it? My research shows this is an anime original episode, so I guess
the manga would be no help. I've checked other forums where this question has
been asked, but I did not find an answer.

What is Christmas present Tohru gives Miss Kobayashi in episode 10?


This is just how anime shows "a very disgusting thing vaguely shaped and
colored like this". It's not a new thing, off the top of my head I can
remember one other instance for which we have a question here: [Why are there
censored/retracted art when there is no
problem](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5152/why-are-there-
censored-retracted-art-when-there-is-no-problem) and [here's the video of that
fragment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzpGcdiqZE). Also see this question
and its answer: [Why do they censor vomiting in
anime?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/30441/why-do-they-censor-
vomiting-in-anime)
