S/2004 S 12 is a natural satelliteofSaturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Jan Kleyna, and Brian G. Marsden on 4 May 2005 from observations taken between 12 December 2004 and 9 March 2005.

S/2004 S 12 is about 5 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19,855,000 kilometres in about 1,044 days, at an inclination of 163.9° to the ecliptic, in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.371.[2][4]

This moon was considered lost[5] until its recovery was announced on 12 October 2022.[2] (In 2021, it had also been found in Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observations from 2019.)[6]
