You do realize that this particular monster only appears in groups, and never alone?
(Well, barring Wizardry 4 Arrange, of course, but even there there's the other summoned monsters.)
Dray2k: Truth be told I really, REALLY want an Anime Gothic. Just mod Gothic 1 in which everyone becomes a cute anime girl or something, IMHO these ideas are simply hilarious.
Well, there *is* Elminage Gothic, but its only similarity with the Gothic series is the word "Gothic" in the title.
Actually, Elminage Gothic is more like this Wizardry game, to the point where it really is Japanese Wizardry in all but name. If you're looking forward to this Wizardry title, or if you have already played it (on another platform, or you're reading this post after the release), I would highly recommend Elminage Gothic. Just be aware that Elminage Gothic can get quite brutal starting with the second dungeon.

rjbuffchix: What about Elminage Gothic?
Ok ok I couldn't resist.
On a more serious note I'm thrilled this Wizardry game is arriving here!! I also echo other users who are wanting other interesting games to get re-evaluated by curation (Agony and Hatred the top two most interesting choices to me).
Oops, I posted before seeing this, but I still do recommend Elminage Gothic to everybody who's interested in this Wizardry title.
takezodunmer2005: Looks like an instabuy from me as I love anime wizardry as much as the WRPG-styled original! I would like to see all of the JRPG versions on this platform to be honest!
Also, wizardry has been part of the a JRPG landscape for decades, so it's just as fitting as a proper wizardry title as the original! As I said, there's room for both in my collection!
Just as long as they fix some of the nastier bugs in some of the games.
Wizardry Gaiden 3, for example, is harder than intended because of some bugs; CORTU is usless, and some enemies gain levels (instead of regenerating HP) as the battle progresses. (On the other hand, there's a bug that makes status aliment spells cast by the player ignore magic resistance.)
Wizardry Gaiden 4 has a save corruption bug that happens if you cast the spell that removes curses.
The Game Boy Color Wizardry Empire games also have bugs, like some spells using up spell points of the wrong spell level, for example.
(It's also worth noting that classic Sir-Tech Wizardry is also a minefield of bugs, and different versions have different bugs.)
