While you play as a Monster, who is both powerful and an incredibly agile beast. Who comes armed with a fiery breath. Your lair is a cathedral floating in the sky with hides a chest containing your heart. Likewise, the humans want you dead. So they are coming in endless hordes to destroy you and your chest.
