The Clay Beast
From Fallen London Wiki
| A player-created Guide is available for this content: The Tale of the Clay Highwayman (Guide) |
| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
'Clay' is a misnomer; the Beast is in fact made of iron, bent and forged and twisted into a shape not unlike an elephant. Huge metal tusks, presumably to tear open train cars like a tin can. And lanterns for eyes, to cut through the gloom.
Wiki note: A hidden quality tracks whether you've first examined her. Options change based on that quality.
