TERRIFYING TAG BOSS

For the unfamiliar, Turnip28 is a tabletop minis game where the story goes that an apocalyptic explosion devastated Europe in 1819, creating a volcanic winter as a vast complex of colossal and strange mutating roots spread across the land. The majority of animal and plant life went extinct, but warped simulacra of them grew from the roots and established an ecosystem rife with cannibalism and breakneck evolution. Magical and bizarre reflections of carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and the eponymous turnip were discovered, as well as root creatures resembling pigs, elephants, oxen, or terrifying monstrosities unlike anything before. The reason the tags are so wild is it suggests that humans in the setting came from the roots too, and nothing shown so far rules that out.
