Promotional Figure and card for the Krosmaster: Arena game. He has the Ogre trait. His attack costs 5 action points to deal 1 damage to multiple targets. At the end of his turn, he heals all his life points if he didn't deal any damage this turn. The flavor quote is: "One should not be afraid of animals while talking about Ogrest. When he was a kid, the ogre was already into monkey business and eating like a horse. His feelings for Dathura grew him lion-hearted, but he would fight like cats and dogs for her. When she disappeared, his teardrops flooded the world; for sure these were no crocodile tears... Too late to cry wolf!"
