Baba Yaga
for Baba Yaga in Monster's Rising : Enter a New World
Suggested by nikobatman
It's time for the monsters to reveal themselves to the world. In addition to his many human servants, vampires, and ghoul, Dracula can count on Adam Frankenstein, as well as Baba Yaga and the Horseman she controls. Under the eye of Salazar Reptilia, a virtually immortal meta-reptilian, nephew of the sorcerer Malthazarus, Dracula's master, Echidna and her children also officially join this alliance, having just freed Doliphenus, a powerful cyclops general. As they reveal themselves to the world, one question is on every human's lips : who could stop such a cabal ? The answer might just be this: Gabriel Van Helsing ! The remaining member of the great family of monster hunters, longtime enemies of Dracula, allies himself with some exceptional beings, like the Invisible Man, to find a solution to this, hoping to avoid a bloodbath. The monsters will travel to Egypt, where they hope Princess Ahmanet, aka the Mummy, will join them and give them a powerful artifact under her protection. But she'll choose to join Van Helsing instead. However, another mummy, Imhotep, will join Dracula's alliance, along with the mysterious "Professor" and his true army of super-mercenaries. Then, they'll go to Peru, in search of a powerful artifact, in the webbed hands of Gill-Man, who will also ally himself with Van Helsing. The grand finale will take place in New York City, in broad daylight, and the world will never be the same again... perhaps for the better !
