I feel like I’m the only one still pondering this one, but sleuthing out what’s what in this greyscale image has been a fun challange…
I tried blowing out the contrast & thresholding to see if I could find any accidental edges or details to help distinguish bits and pieces a bit better… there aren’t really any, but I did notice some hidden detail in what I assume is Yetikong’s evo in the bottom right.
Bloodblade is obviously top left, and Clio is top center. Clio is clearly at the “back” of the image, as she is obscured by Blood’s tail on her left and that big wing on the right, but there’s a hint of her right wing peaking out from behind the bigger wing of the monster next to her (visible in my image but hard to make out in the original).
I’m going to guess that the monster on the top right is Moltagant, and the little puffs around it are smoke. The big wings sorta suggest Skyther, but nothing else in the image is blobby enough to be a lava dude, so it seems more likely that its Molt. Hard to tell where exactly his legs are, although it looks like theres some stuff obscuring Yeti’s face so I’m going to guess that its attached to him. could be wrong. Surprising that he’s sprouted wings, but then again Yeti turned into a tiger so I guess anything is fair game.
Bottom left is clearly Octojungle, although the edges of this guy are hard to guess. It’s tempting to ascribe all that stuff right above him as part of him, but the details in the silhouette don’t really match up with his motif. It could be true, and then skyther is bottom center, but there’s such a mess of random details down there that it’s difficult to parse all that out as one thing. Hard to say.
It almost looks as though there’s a huge flower on the bottom right next to Octo, which would make sense for him thematically, but it just makes him looks so gigantic compared to all the others that I hesitate to call it definitively. If that’s the case, then Skyther is occupying the entire middle of the image, like this:
But maybe that’s a bit if a crazy stretch… makes everything the wrong shape. Very few monsters are wider than they are tall.
I dunno. Curious to see if anyone still has any other big ideas. I am also guessing that they are SE’s rather than Legendary… if they are L’s, then the evo requirements will probably be as frustrating as the 4 starters, because I sincerely doubt they’d hand everyone easy access to six new free legendary monsters. Just based on their past releases, SE’s feel more likely, but the look of all 6 of them is so different from their current form that I honestly wouldn’t rule it out.
Thoughts?
