Introducing... the Medusa

[CA Ella]

Some Medusae are goaded to war atop monolithic shrines. Some emerge willingly from their lairs and follow the scent of blood to war. They are unreliable allies who pay no heed to any battle plan, seeking only to share their own torment with their luckless victims: https://youtu.be/zxQRpalkCV0

Please also note that if you opted into the public_beta after the release of The Hunter & The Beast, then we are closing this beta. This is to avoid big install delays when we release The Shadow & The Blade next week.

Yea, they couldve done them a bit less....pretty? And alot more grotesque.

[Mr Nothing]

My problem with her is that she doesn't looks cool/terrifying like the rest of the monsters in this game.

She just looks hot. Some modder plz make a grotesque/creepy looking skin for her. So I can bear using her in my army.

Now if only Skaven could get some monster unit love to

[Matayus22]

Yeah agree with Mr Yes. They were incredible beautiful elves before they were turned into 3m snake abominations. Sure they retain parts of their nice physique but they are still 80% snake monster.

She's supposed to look hot. Considering how ugly most of the female characters are in this game, she's a miracle.

While I am in the same boat, disregarding people's thoughts as "You're just having a fetish and aroused because of her looks" is really just as silly.

So, I can really only partially agree. People see a part of a design and think it's not horrifying enough and that is in this case true. The humanoid remains are still supposed to be pretty for the devs, while the people wanting it differently do think it's wrong, because of the "Goddess wanted 'em really ugly".

The thing is, as said, if any ran into them, probably all would be terrified and not ask her to cover up - because the overall look of the Medusae is pretty ugly indeed!

It probably also has to do with personal perception of what information is conveyed with "Made ugly", if I made something really ugly, I would also aim for making everything ugly, while the current design fits the past of the Medusa just as well.

All in all I think it's a really good design, but ranting about that "this is having a sliver of femininity or something and that this is the bad thing" is completely missing the point, while the point is as big as a barn door.

Is there any way I can retain public_beta? I would prefer to retain the campaign as it is. Is there any workaround?

I think she looks good. It balances out the ugly as sin Witch Elves.
