Even a Tentacle Monster Can Be a Hero

In the great cathedral of the Xila Empire, a group of white-bearded old men hold hands and form a sizable circle.

They keep chanting obscure incantations, while light flickers within the circle. One figure after another steps out of the glow.

There are nearly a hundred of them, all dressed differently.

An eight-tentacled monster looks at everything before it.

Can a tentacle monster really be a hero???!
