About the game
Spewing molten magma from their gaping maws, these rocky creatures swarm through the Caverns of Cynder, churning the lava and belching black smoke as they burrow new tunnels through the rock. Much like the Lava Men, these Fiends are constructed from the magma itself, hardening into charred masses, and chewing through the solid walls to open up new passages and chambers for the lava to flow. These enemies have the ability to chew open new doorways on the board and can leave a trail of burning lava spaces in their wake! They are themed for the Caverns of Cynder OtherWorld, but also include Threat cards to appear in the Forbidden Fortress. —description from the publisher
