Here's the best cool thing about these two new miniatures: there are six other large uncommons in the set, so with average luck you'll get a large uncommon in every booster box.

Friggin' sweeeet.

You wanted more monsters? I think we got yer monsters right here.

Best would be if those uncommon large were popular monsters in RPG. At least the troll is fairly popular, then I think the DDM lack a non-rare ogre, which large creature is more popular than that? A cornugon or pit fiend or balrog, while they are high-CR and therefore not common at all, could be used to represent any devil/demon-type of large size. And finally a giant spider, usually a very low-level foe with its CR 2.

Deathknell has the uncommon skullcrusher ogres. A little better armored and equipped than your standard ogre, but I think it fits the role fine.

I think you summed up my reaction right there, Felon.

What a set... and we've only seen the smallest part of it!

Note, because of the way they distribute miniatures, it is likely you'll be guaranteed a Large Uncommon in every booster. (Rob didn't say so because packaging errors can happen... but that's likely what they intend).

Li Shenron, as others say, the Skullcrusher Ogre was the first uncommon ogre - and I'm sure there will be more in the near future.

The Balor is coming as a rare (with an Epic card as well) in Underdark.

Cheers!
