About the game
Epic monster pack for Deep Madness. Insidious lays its eggs in dark, concealed places across any locations it can find. When investigators meet Insidious, it is possible they may succeed against the ravenous horror. But as soon as it dies, an incredibly unpleasant thing happens: one of its eggs hatches, and Insidious emerges once more – fully grown, ready to kill, and also ready to breed. As long as even one of its eggs remains on the board, Insidious will not die. Can you destroy all of its eggs before it slaughters your entire team? Contains: - 1 Insidious monster miniature - 6 Egg miniatures - 1 Monster Card (in five languages) - 2 Spawn Cards (in five languages)
