A New Viking Amoeba Recruit from Sam Sykes
We have a new recruit, and this one is definitely on fire. He’s going to light things up. The Internet will be ablaze with heated conversation. We’re pretty sure you’ll have the hots for him. Really. We do. How are you enjoying my puns? Not even a little laugh? Really? Fine. If you’re going to be that way, then I’ll leave you with the following: The Vastatiotor — Castellan Ustulanthis Strength 6; Intelligence 5 Special Ability: Scorched Earth (If Castellan is involved in combat, inflict 1 point of damage to all enemies on the field oncecombat has ended and an additional 2 if Castellan dies) (Tome of the Undergates by Sam Sykes) If you want to see the other additions to the army, check out our Viking Amoeba Army page.
