IMHO... "sprite" :-).

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(computer_graphics), a 
sprite "is a two-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into 
a larger scene". To me that sounds like exactly what we are talking 
about. I'm unclear on the argument why "sprite" is not correct.
