And in the "I called it" category...
When the spoilers were first shown, this critter had its own thread. In it, I quoted EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER MADE with "They... just... keep... coming!"
Seems Jozan was thinking much the same thing. ΖD] | | | |

| The War Hulk quote is, "With a single sweep of its mighty flail,the war hulk scattered a whole squad of enemies in a curtain of gore."
Considering that one of my RPG players is running a war hulk and just hit the level where this is possible, I think this may happen more than a few times over the next few sessions. | |

The Goblin Blackblade motto is nice too.
Also, Snig Worg Rider quote is still ambigious with regard to Snig
identity.
Thanks for the dedication, maijstral !
(And maijstral, I wasn't checking your grammer, I wondered if it was written so on the card. As you can see, warefare was added to the dictionary [)])
Thanks for the kind word and don't worry I wasn't offended, its hard to offend me anyway, I have lived with the curse of poor spelling(thanks spellchecker) and poor punctuation my whole life and gaming with an english major for 5 years I have learned to endure the corrections with a smile. (we just deduct EP's if she gets out of hand [:D])
Thanks to Grim for giving me the final quote for the Ogre War Hulk. | | | |

| | I was kind of disappointed with some of the flavor text. They weren't as poetic as I imagined them being, like a bunch of the old MtG cards were. Eitherway, it was still a nice touch. | |

| Thanks for compiling the list.
Favorite overall has to go to the Derro but I have a soft spot for deranged, evil halfling/dwarves [:D]
Halfling Slinger and Goblin Blackblade also have great quotes. Snig's flavor text elevates him to a higher plane of lameness [:(]
I'll agree that in general the flavor text is lacking in...well, flavor. A bit more in the humorous/poetic department would have been nice. Perhaps in WotDQ... | |

That would be entertaining if nothing else. The quotes as they stand are just useless fluff for me. Don't need it. | |

| | I gotta admit, upon first seeing that quotes were added to the stat cards, I was thinking..."aww man...more things I don't need." However, upon reading them, I like them. Some of them are very funny and/or cool. | |
