Doubled in squirrel, to be correct.
3 squirrels becomes 6, 2 treasure tokens become 2 treasure + 2 squirrels, etc.
What’s the history of this again? Why does he use black mana?
The history is he first appeared in MH2. There is no other lore, as far as I'm aware.
The lore is he cannot stop committing war crimes but his squirrel host is forever loyal inspite of this.
My source is: it was revealed to me in a dream.
Best art on him yet
Honestly, while he may need a reprint I feel like lost out on an opportunity for someone not already a critter to get a fursona.
