πŸ‘Ύ BIG MONSTERS Have Joined The Battle! πŸ‘Ύ

[h2]Larger Than Life! 🀩[/h2]

Hello all! Notice anything different about some of your recent creature encounters? Your eyes do not deceive you! πŸ‘€



With the release of our latest adventure, Murder on the Tipsy Pearl, Big Monsters have landed in Mythas. Let’s take a look at how they work, how they effect combat, and what makes their inclusion unique for Tales of Fablecraft.

[h2]Whoa There, Tidemaw! πŸ™[/h2]

When these colossal creatures land on your battlemap, they can be a huge (pun intended) threat to unsuspecting Mages. Take the Tidemaw, for instance. This sea monster prowls deep coastal waters. It attaches itself to the hulls of boats, and uses its spiked tentacles to pick off crew members, one by one.



A Tidemaw's body occupies a whopping 3x3 set of tiles. In addition to it's sheer size, it has an opener that allows it to summon tentacles which grab players or swat them away. As a GM, you'll have tons of new combo moves you can use when operating this beast. And as players, you'll need to come up with more considered strategies to defeat it.



Watch out for that tentacle hug! πŸ¦‘

[h2]Storytelling With ScaleπŸ“–[/h2]

Another Big Monster we're excited to introduce is the Malevolent Ooze, which occupies a 2x2 square. These shapeless blobs form when cruel wishes are made at a wishing well. Their slimy bodies can fit through small spaces, but their pungent odor is a sure telltale sign that they're lurking nearby.



Malevolent Oozes spit acid and engulf unsuspecting mages into their jellylike mass. They will split into four smaller Malevolent Globs when destroyed. 🐌🐌🐌🐌



Make sure to reserve some health for the Glob's Acid Spritz!

[h2]Big Monsters, Bigger Battles![/h2]

We’re excited for you to mix it up with Big Monsters in your upcoming games. We'll be continuing to drop these bigger baddies in future adventures so stay tuned - the gargantuan size of these creatures will definitely keep you on your toes!

[h2]Would You Rather? πŸ‘€[/h2]

And now for a quick hypothetical before we go! You may not currently encounter big cats in Tales of Fablecraft... yet, but which would you prefer to battle!?



Would you rather take on 100 regular sized Karma Cats or 1 BIG KITTY!? Tell us about it in the comments! 😻
