Coming across a practically extinct Collector's Edition was enough to throw me out of focus for a whole day, so today we DIVIDE the LOOT! Apart from the impressive, 29cm tall Fury figurine, there's a really rich Artbook, the OST, a Steelbook case with holo-print interior, and of course the game itself, full extras included. Even the box itself is a great piece on it's own! Thanks once again, good people at THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games! Fact: I can't decide whether to start playing the game, or spend the day studying the artwork... #gamer #justgamerthings #collector #lucky https://www.instagram.com/p/BrcUbp9gxjL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xbfwelpw5j0r

As this journey draws to a close, we could not leave the most ferocious, cunning and resourceful creature without merit. Having survived giant beasts, the wrath of nature, even the likes of it's own kind, it still lingers on every possible facet of this here realm. Such is it's legacy, that this creature needed to invent new aspects with which to personify it's thoughts, desires and fears. Truly, it takes a monster to create other monsters. What other, than the Human itself.

Legends of the North, these creatures would steer clear of human territories, not due to fear, but mainly because thry harbor no kind feelings for their neighbors. Whether alone or with their immediate family, they make sure to keep trespassers at bay, whether through brute force, or cunning wit.

Many a tale has been told by the campfire, of an impossible beast that stalks the countryside. At times, such a creature would possess an improbable number of appendages, others it would be taller than an oak tree, sometimes even be witnessed flying upside down! While the stories were never about the same being, their subjects have collectively earned the monicker "Fearsome Critters".

Man has long sought to explain the world around him. One individual in particular, Paracelcus, was one of the pioneers of the "medical revolution" of the Renaissance. Among the foundations of his research, one may find the building blocks of what is material; Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. In them, there is said to lie the power of life itself, made manifest in it's own shape and form.

Spirits. Shapeshifters. Guardians. Tricksters. Any fox that lives for a hundred years is said to be able to learn the art of changing forms at will. For every hundred years more, another tail grows, and so do their abilities, which they use to lurk among the People of the East and influence their lives. Some families are rumored to be protected by such an entity, a mixed blessing in it's own right.

Deeply rooted in the Slavic myths, the arboreal shapeshifter reigns supreme over the land it is bound to. Some say it is a benevolent forest guardian, others whisper that it abducts those unwary enough to wander too deep into the woods.

Their arrival from Jötunheimr signalled the end of the Golden Age of the Gods. The beings known as Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld are hailed as the three most important of their kin. Drawing water and taking sand from the Well of Fate, they tend to Yggdrasill so that it's branches shall not rot.
