Cassette Beasts Blog #9 - Monster Showcase

Hey folks! It’s time to introduce some of the monsters of Cassette Beasts - including some you’ve seen before and some you might not have! Here we go…

Bansheep #019

Element: Beast

French: Fantômouton Italian: Stregovina German: Geisterschaf Spanish: Beenshee

One of the two starting monsters you can choose from in Cassette Beasts, you may have already seen Bansheep if you played our Steam Next Fest demo back in October!

The eerie moans of the wild Bansheep at night have led many to believe that they are restless undead spirits, but this is untrue: they are very much alive, they just like to have a bit of a whine. Who doesn’t?

Candevil #014

Element: Beast

French: Gourmandiable Italian: Zuccherello German: Bonbonteufel Spanish: Diablamelo

Candevils possess the peculiar ability to generate sugary sweets from their bodies, which can be used as gifts or as ballistic projectiles. Some find this quite charming, whereas others argue that it’s actually very weird and gross.

Candevil is the other starting monster. While Candevil and Bansheep both start with the Beast element, each of them can be remastered along two different branches, into more evolved forms that have very different elemental types.

Nevermort #047

Element: Poison

French: Corbomort Italian: Maimort German: Nimmertod Spanish: Nuncamórvido

It must be noted that the Nevermort does not have a beak – rather, it is wearing what appears to be a porcelain plague doctor mask. What face lies beneath the mask is something better left undiscovered.

Salamagus #059

Element: Fire

French: Salamage Italian: Salamagus German: Salamagus Spanish: Salamago

The slippery Salamagus is a student of pyromancy and other arcane arts. It is able to breathe fire using fuel it stores in the pouches on its head – incidentally, these look like giant googly eyes to the untrained eye.

Squirey #034

Element: Beast

French: Écurikiki Italian: Scudierrante German: Drahtknappe Spanish: Escuderazado

The common Squirey is often seen roaming the plains of New Wirral, searching for opponents to battle. Despite their cute appearances, they are dedicated warriors and driven by an innate desire for self-improvement.

Palangolin #036

Element: Metal

French: Palangolin Italian: Lanciolino German: Palangolin Spanish: Palangolín

The Palangolin is the mature form of a Squirey who has remained true to their principles, and has become a knight of great virtue. Palangolins wield striking golden halberds, which they use to defend their allies in the heat of battle.

Manispear #035

Element: Metal

French: Chevalance Italian: Malabardo German: Manispeer Spanish: Manistratega

Hey, wait… This one’s new, right?

If a Squirey gives in to their dark impulses whilst training, it is destined to become a Manispear. Hiding its face beneath a black helmet, the Manispear fights without restraint or self-control.

Wondering what a fusion of Manispear and Palangolin looks like? Well, together they form Manisgolin!
