Get ready for a new batch of furry (or scaly, who knows?) companions in Cthulhu: Death May Die – Fear of the Unknown: Animal Allies! This Kickstarter-born expansion introduces a super cool concept: animal allies that will give you extra support in the fight against cosmic horrors. Forget ordinary treasures; here you'll find Relic cards that are actually loyal critters joining the investigators on the board. Each ally has two forms: an initial one and a powered-up version, activated when the investigator's insanity reaches a certain point. And it's not just the card that changes, you know? The miniatures evolve too! These critters move around the map, attack enemies, distract monsters, and even take damage instead of investigators, allowing them to heal or re-roll dice. The coolest part is they aren't just tokens; they have their own movement rules and can follow investigators, even without direct control. Positioning your ally correctly makes all the difference to maximize their abilities. And, of course, their loyalty reflects the investigator's mental state: as madness increases, the critter becomes more powerful. But if the investigator falls, the critter flees in despair. With 10 ally miniatures, 5 cards, and a rule leaflet, this expansion promises to add a unique tactical and thematic layer to your games, making the journey against the Mythos even more interesting and, perhaps, a little less lonely.
