Cassette Beasts Blog #9 - Monster Showcase

Hey folks! Its time to introduce some of the monsters of Cassette Beasts - including some youve seen before and some you might not have! Here we go

Bansheep #019

Element: Beast

French: Fantmouton
Italian: Stregovina
German: Geisterschaf
Spanish: Beenshee

One of the two starting monsters you can choose from in Cassette Beasts, you may have already seen Bansheep if you played our Steam Next Fest demo back in October!

The eerie moans of the wild Bansheep at night have led many to believe that they are restless undead spirits, but this is untrue: they are very much alive, they just like to have a bit of a whine. Who doesnt?

Candevil #014

Element: Beast

French: Gourmandiable
Italian: Zuccherello
German: Bonbonteufel
Spanish: Diablamelo

Candevils possess the peculiar ability to generate sugary sweets from their bodies, which can be used as gifts or as ballistic projectiles. Some find this quite charming, whereas others argue that its actually very weird and gross.

Candevil is the other starting monster. While Candevil and Bansheep both start with the Beast element, each of them can be remastered along two different branches, into more evolved forms that have very different elemental types.

Nevermort #047

Element: Poison

French: Corbomort
Italian: Maimort
German: Nimmertod
Spanish: Nuncamrvido

It must be noted that the Nevermort does not have a beak rather, it is wearing what appears to be a porcelain plague doctor mask. What face lies beneath the mask is something better left undiscovered.

Salamagus #059

French: Salamage
Italian: Salamagus
German: Salamagus
Spanish: Salamago

The slippery Salamagus is a student of pyromancy and other arcane arts. It is able to breathe fire using fuel it stores in the pouches on its head incidentally, these look like giant googly eyes to the untrained eye.
