About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to face a creature that's a master of disguise and deception: the Dung Beetle Knight! This cunning and hungry species disguises itself as a knight to fool both predators and prey. Its main tactic? Rolling a massive resin ball, made from its own saliva, which it uses to collect rare feces – yes, you read that right – for its meals. A peculiar delicacy that makes it a relentless foe.
The Dung Beetle Knight isn't here to play; it's one of the most challenging opponents you'll encounter in Kingdom Death: Monster. But don't despair! The expansion introduces the innovative 'Rumbling in the Dark' mechanic, giving your settlement a chance to train and prepare before the epic confrontation. This opportunity to hone your tactics and gear is crucial and shouldn't be missed. Remember, a little preparation can make all the difference against this disgusting and powerful threat. This expansion adds more depth and a brutal challenge for fans of the base game, promising nights of pure tension and cooperative strategy. Oh, and a heads-up: have your dictionaries ready, as the game requires extensive knowledge of the original language to be fully enjoyed. It's for the most dedicated!
