What other mythical creatures would you like to see in our game?

[TreyC]

Hestia:Artemis why did you send that boar to ruin the lives of the king’s subjects instead of just cursing the king?
Artemis:Because I wanted to make people suffer

[MariaRodriguez-dxsm]

NEVER forget to sacrifice to the gods, but specially to Artemis, Aphrodite or Dionysious, really bad stuff happens if you don't

[connorgarrett]

Shooting lightning from its mouth? I’m pretty sure this thing made a brief appearance in an Adventure Time episode

[troybond]

In my opinion, Artemis sending a wild boar to wreak havoc on a village just because their king forgot to get her anything is hilariously disturbing

[theeverydaythinker]

The gods in a nutshell.
You forgot to thank them for potatoes.
And they took that very personally

[madisonseyfried]

Someone threw a fit about not being included and unleashed a monster tantrum.

[ekamandalaputra]

So we better got a checklist of gods before sacrifice. Understood 😂

[bthsr]

AKA retroactive justification for calling the A-10 Thunderbolt the Warthog.

[StonegazeSteam]

That does explain why the Calydonian Boar in "Zeus & Poseidon: Masters of Olymus" shoots lighting out of his mouth.

[Aaron]

Very touchy about their sacrifices these gods can’t imagine why.

The kalidonian boar was also the *noble phantasm* of atalanta when she fought jean of arc a.k.a *ruler*

[prastarkeepers]

I always found it weird that the closest Greek Mythology came to an Avengers level crossover pitted them against just some big pig.

[The_Gothic_Pickle]

Atalanta was also a butt kicking huntress raised by bears, the more you know

[NothosaurusFan]

Looks a bit like a Celebochoerus, an extinct genus of giant pig

[gandalf_the_purplewithredd]

Biggest crossovers of greek mythology, up there with Jason and the argonauts and Iliad

[BloodDrawer-t]

Assassins creed odyssey boar fighting flash backs

[dragoncat]

Artimus got no chill. Who would have thought.

[RedSunUnderParadise]

Artemis: *Ya’ll motherfuckers ever play Wildhearts!?*

[GoodNeutralEvilChaos]

Why the Greek Gods aren't good people, Reason 1, 539.
