Back to the topic itself...
Why not for the undead? Should it be for Scale folks instead?

I still don't understand why you detest our Lord and Savior cthulhu.

[Sunrise Samurai]

Because Cthulhu. That's why. Though kraken seems like an orcish thing.

[Typhoon]

I would put him into Mythical race
because let's say he's from H.P. Lovercraft mythology

[Sunrise Samurai]

First, I'm not sure the mythical race is on the table right now. The next 2 raced I'm aware of are dwarves and scalefolk. Now, seriously​ speaking​, I would say Cthulhu is fine for scalefolk, but make it a hero unit, for individuality's sake. We don't need multiple of him. One is creepy enough.

As a hero unit, try these stats
Hp: 140 (original sounded good.)
Attack:10
Actions: 4 (yes, it's stronger. Hero unit, so op is ok. And tentacles accounts​ for the number of hits.)
Range: 2, melee (long reach, but still isn't ranged proper​)
Speed: 3 (slower just to let the fear sink in)
Armor: 0 (Cthulhu doesn't need armor to slow it down.)
Magic resistance: 100%
Spells: curse, toxic breath.
Auras: fear (radius 4, all living, non demon units get -1 movement, -3/-3 armor, and -3 attack.) And chaos (radius 2, everything that starts it's turn under this aura is attacked with 'convert' spell, with the same chance as if a lich were making the attempt.)

Yes, it is very much OP. It's probably going to be the boss at the end of player designed skirmish maps, but anything less would never do justice to the horror. Anything​ it doesn't kill has a good chance to go mad and turn against it's companions. Curse is a great way to make them hold still until it happens too.

[Puss_in_Boots]

I plan to make a campaign of it.

[Sunrise Samurai]

I bet you do. Put a warning up not to play at night. Any suggestions on the stats, or is it a good boss unit as it stands? It's *almost* worth suggesting a 2x2 size, to make it both imposing and to give a map designer a way to control his movement while still letting players reach him. One bonus would be an expansion of the auras, since he would project from 4 squares instead of one.

I think it is copyrighted so we should avoid that kind of things (but we might still make something inspired)
