Since we have Zombies in the Abyss

How about something like werewolves, which were a thing in medieval folklore; since Half Sword takes place in the Middle Ages.

I imagine the Willie would look all hairy like how some werewolves in media look like hairy humans, have sharpened fingernails for improvised claw scratches, and a bite attack to maul with human teeth being more canine-like.

Said werewolf enemy would be pretty durable, tank a lot of damage, and bit harder to kill.

I guess I can see it being in something like, maybe a possible Halloween update.

Croc-Hunting Feline (Art by HodariNundu)

So, mystery Pleistocene big cat Feliopsis has been suggested as part of a lost lineage of crocodile-hunting pantherines that also includes the older Pachypanthera.

With 5 million years between them, I can totally see the Pleistocene form as a derived water tiger of sorts! :B

Not surprised that TPOT's failed debuters are treated awfully as lesser subhumans by everyone, no wonder they're still dead as of now

This Titan is a machine. A machine for elephants. Fit only for the evolving of elephants.

So, I guess we got some new lore according to the Monarch Files book!

KOTM's Unseen Titans

It feels like this has been going on for years since they were name-dropped in 2019, their names shown on outposts, but we still never get a look at what they actually look like.

Orochi, Baphomet, Bunyip, Leviathan, Sekhmet, Quetzalcoatl, and Typhon; the seven ignored/forgotten/neglected ones.

At least we got to see what Tiamat, Abaddon, and Amhuluk look like.

(Mokele-Mbembe has its design mentioned in the KOTM novelization, but we still haven't seen it appear yet.)

"You know about the Skullcrawlers, right? That's right, the nightmare of Skull Island. Kong's mortal enemy."

"But according to legend, it's said that very rarely, a mutant strain can be born that lives for thousands of years and has the potential to become an Alpha as a guardian."

"To distinguish him from the calamity from the heavens that bears a strikingly similar appearance, the Iwi called him this... King of the Millennia Dragon Ghidorah."
