Monsterpocalypse is getting itself some big, new figures this month. Hailing from Mes-American lore, we get a look at some of the new, larger than life figures. Have yourselves a look.
From the article:
Hello, fellow monster fans! Today we are going to explore the First Guardians and Ancient Ones, the March releases for Monsterpocalypse! I’ll bring you up to speed about their lore, design, and interesting interactions.
So, this second wave of monsters for these Factions ushers in the next era of the god war, the fallout from the clash between the King of Camazotz and the Master of Xolotl. Their battles led the Queen of Ixmiqui’s people to imbue her with the power of a god—that of the sun and the wind—and fashioned for her a spear that wields the power of lightning. As her ascension to godhood began, the King of Camazotz was making some allies of his own. The Lord of Mictal, an embodied aspect of death, was drawn to the death cults springing up in the Ancient Ones forces. But it was when Ixmiqui finally ascended to godhood that the Lord of Mictal ultimately chose sides: he made a death pact with Camazotz, offering him the freedom to come and go in the underworld, even if a mortal blow ended his existence. In exchange, the Lord of Mictal wanted Ixmiqui’s heart. Camazotz accepted the deal, fully aware it was better to have death on your side than against you. Together, the pair returned to the land of Xolotl and marched on the city of Ixmiqui.
