About the game
Lobotomies are used to calm violent individuals. For Aaron Helzinger, a man who had his amygdala tampered with, it didn’t work. He is completely unable to control his emotions, which leads to violent bouts of rage. The more wild he gets, the stronger he gets. A dangerous force, indeed. He cannot be reasoned with, but his cellmates in Arkham sometimes manipulate him for their own violent machinations. When talking with your fists is required, call Amygdala! A huge musclebound dope that just needs to land one blow to beat opponents to a pulp. The more you hurt him, the stronger he gets, nothing can stand in his way, especially walls. This figure expansion includes 1 Amygdala miniature, 1 Character Tile, 1 Lifepoint Tracker, and 1 Versus Power Card. —description from the publisher
