Added 2025-01-15 12:24:02 +0000 UTC

It’s time for the first of February’s Previews - a sideshow of wonders and amazements to delight and amuse you next month! Continuing our Dark Denizens extravaganza, this collection began as an expansion of a single concept (the Puppeteers) into a fully fledged collection of its own!

So without further ado, let’s introduce you to the Circus, a terrifying troupe of mummers who have turned their performance into a bloody art.

The Puppeteers

Twin Brutes and their cast of sackcloth actors, retelling a classic tale of romance and comedy, the crowd are all laughs until the first of the puppets rises of its own accord, stepping menacingly into the crowd.

The Ringmaster

The Greatest Showman himself, master of this mummer’s troupe, his piercing voice extolls the wonders of the performances that await the nervous crowd.

The Tamer

Mistress of the grotesque menagerie, the Tamer commands the Circus’s snarling, wretched beasts with an iron will. Under her relentless mastery, these abominations are trained to perform twisted routines meant to amuse and horrify in equal measure.

Mummer-Hounds

The Mummer-Hounds are the broken remains of those claimed by the Circus. Their minds shattered and their bodies twisted, they are remade into slavering performers by the Tamer’s cruel hand.

The Jester

Joker, Fool, Balatro, Clown, the role of the Jester is one well understood by most folk, which is what makes the sharp performance of this lithesome freak all the more terrible.

Well I hope none of you are scared of clowns! We’ll be back soon with a peek a February’s second collection, another Dark Denizens set, that we think might be one of our strangest collections yet - stand by to meet The Traveller.
