When the avatar departs, the victims body is left transformed, forever a hideous monster. In the box, we provide Dark Demons in every faction color: nine total figures! When you recruit the Dark Demon, all the enemy factions also get one, but theirs is a burden and weakness to them, while yours is more of an asset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Shadow Pharaoh\u003cbr\u003e\n This manifestation is Nyarlathoteps Egyptian connection, well-known from many stories. The figure itself is a sort of combination of sphinx, scorpion, mummy, pharaoh, and tentacled horror. I really like it, and I think you will too. It has an especially nasty ability which drives cultists off gates, making the gates vulnerable to be captured once the Pharaoh leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Bloated Woman\u003cbr\u003e\n First popularized in the well-known adventure Masks of Nyarlathotep for the Call of Cthulhu system, the Bloated Woman is Nyarlathotep in a rather repulsive female form. She steals killed enemies, and later transforms your gates so they produce Elder Signs rather than Power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Haunter of the Dark\u003cbr\u003e\n The Haunter of the Dark is a full-on Great Old One. It is awakened as with most independent Great Old Ones - you need a Gate with your own Great Old One. In the Haunters case, you spend 6 Power to get the loyalty card, putting it in the same high-end category as game-changers such as Atlach-Nacha, Cthugha, or Daoloth. (Most Independent Great Old Ones only cost 4, or even 2.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e If youre Crawling Chaos, you can awaken the Haunter for just 5 Power, and you dont need a Great Old One, so obtaining it is a lot easier, BUT every other faction does get an Elder Sign when you do this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Haunter is explicitly a combat critter. It has a combat of 1 per enemy spellbook (so in theory 0-6, but in practice usually at the high end). I wanted to reflect the fact that one of the Haunters best-known characteristics is that it cant survive well in the light. Therefore, it actually starts with a weakness, representing this disability - Fly The Light. This \"ability\" states that post-Battle, if the enemy scored only 1 Kill, it MUST be applied to the Haunter. If the enemy scored 2 or more kills though, you can target them normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Haunters spellbook is really easy to get - just spend 1 Power as an action. Trivial. In fact, normally this is the first thing youll do after awakening the Haunter, which gives your enemies a one-turn window to try to take it out, before you get this frightful pre-Battle ability. Its The Shining Trapezohedron. Before rolling combat dice, your enemy has to roll 1 die per unit he has in the battle. For each Kill he rolls, he must eliminate a unit (his choice).\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Spiral Galaxy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049884168570,"sku":"ZBG-PTGCWU10","price":46.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Cthulhu-Wars-Masks-of-Nyarlathotep-Expansion.jpg?v=1760983931","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-us\/products\/cthulhu-wars-masks-of-nyarlathotep-expansion","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
