It got harder with a humans around so she used magic to disguise as one of them.

'DESIGN-A-MINIBOSS' PROGRESS POST #3: The Morass
Today we finish our journey through the vile mini-boss collection created during our "Design-a-Miniboss" contest
Today, we meet
THE MORASS
Please take a look at the design of the Morass (created by Discord user @Talwors)
Footsteps. He hears the footsteps again. So many foolish attempts to cross his forest, and still they come back. Footsteps. We need to teach them a new lesson. Footsteps. Pain. Damned people! The keep coming, use their axes, try to take part of his forest. His home. Pain. Footsteps. Pain again. Nothing, need to wait. Yes. Wait. He could not lose this house as well, you can not let them stay here. Silence. Fear. War, and pain again. They go further and further. Trying to narrow them down with words is a waste of time. We need to act. Silence. Slow steps. Total silence. Their sentinel fell asleep. The time has come. He will show them the price of invasion of his property. His forest. His house.
Screams. Fear. Running. Screams. Hitting the body on the ground. Screech of branches. The roar of beasts. Hitting the body against the ground. Part of his nature said it was wrong. No. He could not lose this house. Can't let them settle in his forest. No. Body impact on the ground. Snarl. He'll kill it himself. Yes. He killed animals in his forest. Yes. Fear. Snarl. Silence. No one has the right to enter his forest. No. Nobody. Never.
This creature is bound to his place of residence. He feels everything that happens there. He used to live in a swamp, but had to move to the forest because of people. He is a mad forest spirit who once protected his home and helped the travelers not to lose their way.
The launch of the free mini-boss update is nigh! It's even sooner than you expect. Stay tuned.
'DESIGN-A-MINIBOSS' PROGRESS POST #2: The Chained Prince
Let us continue guiding you through the vile mini-boss collection created during our "Design-a-Miniboss" contest
Today, we meet
THE CHAINED PRINCE
Please take a look at the design of the Chained Prince (created by Discord user @ಠ⌣ಠ)
The Chained Prince was a knight and a hero to a faraway place. Following his king’s death and his kingdom’s destruction by a horde of barbarians, he flead far from his home. After his long journey he wandered into the land of King Octavius.
When the Ash Curse got released while still sane he tried to fight the possessed and the cannibals of the city. It didn’t took long before the king noticed his actions and who chained and shamed him.
The Prince now wanders the city killing everyone who steps in his way. If someone encounters him you should be equipped with ways to get rid of the chains the prince wraps around the you.
Stay tuned for more info and check out the original concept document by @ಠ⌣ಠ.
'DESIGN-A-MINIBOSS' PROGRESS POST #1
You were probably wondering about the progress on our beloved and vile mini-bosses that were born during in the "Design-a-Miniboss" contest. Well, we thought that the Spooktober is the best month to start sharing news, so strap in for a weekly series of introductions of our upcoming mini-bosses!
MEET RAT KING
Please take a look at the design of the Rat King (created by Discord user @chronolizzard)
The Rat King is a collection of rats powered by the dominating goal of survival tied together by their tails. The Ash Curse bound them in a macabre joke from an elaborate myth. Rats normally thrive in sewers feeding on debris and refuse from humans, but as they started collecting together, they consumed more. The Rat King departed the sewers in search of more food, not making it too far as the writing mass attempts to go in multiple directions at once, only focusing on one goal when food is present.
You'll meet Rat King and other mini-bosses very soon! And for now, stay tuned for more info.
THE TALE OF THE DARK SOUL
Hello friends! Here is a new character in all it's glory! ːsteamhappyː
Remember, we asked you to guess which concept will be the basis of the new character? The time to refresh your memory has come. So, which one of you hit the spot? :)
In the next post, we will continue to share the details of the development and give more details about the new character. Let's dream up about the new character's abilities. What will they be like? What skillset will fully reflect the essence of this character?
DEVELOPMENT NEWS
Hello, folks! ːsteamhappyː
Some time has passed since the Deck of Ashes release. We are sincerely happy to watch you learn the game, enjoy the characters, use different combinations of card decks, and sometimes resent the complexity of some bosses :)
We are happy to announce that our work is not standing still. We have studied your feedback, noted for yourself what you liked and disliked and started work on the next character, which will be available later as the DLC for the main game.
Above you can see the concepts of the new character created by our artists.
And the mini-quest for you: the concept under what number became the basis for creating the appearance of the new character?
