Back (Flip Effect)

Battle in the Woods -

The feral mother of all monstrosities has manifested! She is an enormous cloud from which dozens of tentacles extend and retract. Wherever she goes, she leaves behind large hoof prints. To behold her true, terrifying form is to come face to face with true, primal horror.

Immediate Effect (Shub-Niggurath Awakens!)

Spawn the Shub-Niggurath Epic Monster on The Heart of Africa. Then move all Ghoul, Goat Spawn, and Dark Young Monsters on the game board to that space.

Final Mystery

When the Shub-Niggurath Epic Monster is defeated, the Final Mystery is solved and investigators win the game.

Black Goat of the Woods With a Thousand Young

Each time Doom would advance, spawn 1 Monster on the space containing the Shub-Niggurath Epic Monster. Then, is there are 6 or more Monsters on that space (including the Shub-Niggurath Epic Monster), investigators lose the game.

: Each investigator on the space containing the Shub-Niggurath Epic Monster immediately encounters it.
