Glorantha Cover

[Osentalka]

I can´t find the thread in the forum any more...

Someone asked what creatutre is pictured on the Glorantha book is.
It was suggested that it is a troll, drawn by someone who doesn´t knows how gloranthan trolls look like.

MY suggestion is that it is a boar broo (look at the left side of the cover where more goat broo are waiting).

The adventurer seems to fight their leader (or their berserk war machine?).

Well spotted!

Yes, that would make sense.

Very plausible, although possibly a questionable decision by the art director not to put a more recognizable Gloranthan figure (IIRC, there is a pretty recognizable broo on the cover to the AH SPH).

Let's hope the sourcebook itself explains who's on the cover -- maybe it is indeed the Second Age equivalent of Ralzakark.

Since the creature-in-question is also used as the GM Screen (blown up), it would make sense for it to be a legendary foe...

That would be a relief...
