Thau-melon-ataur … head seems way oversized for the torso. ---

Ugly art, not very useful kit. Reducing her spell’s cost by 2 and Arcane instead of Accursed would have helped her to see some use in early game compositions I think. ---

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out the internal organs situation for a centaur. Also what counts as the “breast”. Also thinking bout “half-centaur”. ---

This troop is hilariously awful. Even the mana drain only applies to purple enemies. I still think this 12 mana troop that does nothing to 5 other colors is the worst troop in the game by a large margin, even if others may not agree. Many of the other bad troops typically have a lower mana cost that lets them fill to get out of the way faster. ---

You could change the wicca book for a tube of white glue and have some on her mouth. In any case your edit was the best thing about this troop so far. ---

Oooooh no buddy. Let’s ignore what glue’s made of but one of the first lessons an artist should learn is unless you’re catering to an NSFW crowd, it’s not a great plan to put thick, white liquids on any character’s face. ---

> [@Slypenslyde](#): > > …it’s not a great plan to put thick, white liquids on any character’s face. I would say: “With a face like that, no one would imagine it happening.” But in the same vein of this thread’s title, some would argue that “A hole is a hole.” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/a/6ae1336b2df033f24e63fa14bf14e1b02e6e1510.jpeg)
