About the game
The Akaname are stealthy creatures that love to Ambush from the shadows. Crawling along the walls and ceiling, they leap over other models and obstacles in their path, scratching at you with their vicious claws and ensnaring you with their long, barbed tongues! When Leaping at a Hero to Attack, an Akaname always moves the shortest distance to reach its target, doing extra Damage on its Combat Hits for every un-spent point of its move remaining! As a ‘Filth-Licker’, the Akaname can also gain bonus Combat for every Corruption Point or Mutation its target Hero has. —description from the publisher
