Licho
In many Slavic villages, people believed that great plagues never came alone. They were heralded by a gaunt horse with lifeless eyes, appearing in fields and pastures shortly before pestilence struck.
Wherever Licho stands, milk turns sour, wells grow murky, and cattle perish one by one. It is said that its breath carries disease, and the marks of its hooves leave the earth barren and lifeless for years.
Some claim that Licho is a punishment for human greed, while others believe it is merely the harbinger of misfortune that was destined to come. One thing is certain—when a solitary horse with sunken flanks appears at the edge of a village, people bar their doors and pray that it passes by their home that night.
Role in The Black Bestiary
Licho is best used when your own Beings have a reserve of Essence and your opponent relies on numerous, less resilient cards. Its presence can quickly weaken the entire battlefield and may even lead to the immediate death of the most fragile Beings.
