Nage-Waza 9
Before attacking with a Tanuki Trickster, you may choose an adjacent enemy Small or Medium figure and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 9 or higher, you may move the chosen figure 1 space. Tanuki Tricksters never make leaving engagement attacks against figures moved by Nage-Waza.
Tanuki Aruki
After revealing an Order Marker on this Army Card and taking a turn with the Tanuki Tricksters, you may move up to 2 Small or Medium Vorid or Ninja figures you control that did not move this turn up to 3 spaces each.
Phantom Walk
Tanuki Tricksters can move through all figures and are never attacked when leaving an engagement.

Volcanic Carapace
Begin the game with three 1-hex lava field tiles and one 1-hex molten lava tile for every Squad of Molten Crustaceans in your Army. After a Molten Crustacean you control is destroyed by a normal attack or leaving engagement attack, you must roll the 20-sided die and place one of these tiles onto the space the figure occupied, if the tile fits normally on that space. If you roll a 19 or higher place a molten lava tile, if able. Otherwise place a lava field tile.
Lava Resistant
Molten Crustaceans are not affected by lava field or molten lava spaces, and do not have to stop their movement on molten lava spaces.
Climb x2
When moving up or down levels of terrain, Molten Crustaceans may double their Height.
Notes on the Source and Gaps
- Card-only product. No rulebook was printed for this expansion. The sections above are the complete printed rules of the two cards in the product.
- Two stat blocks per card. Each card shows a text side with the rules and a 45-Point cost, and an art side with a different Defense (Tanuki Tricksters: 3 on the art side versus 4 on the text side) and, for Molten Crustaceans, a different Attack and Defense (4 and 6 on the art side versus 3 and 3 on the text side). Both sets of values are transcribed as printed. The card does not say which side a player should use in play.
- Unlabelled marking. The red splatter with the number 1 above each stat block is not labelled on the card. It is transcribed as printed and not interpreted.
- Terms not defined by this product. The following terms appear on the cards but are not defined in this product. Their meaning comes from the Heroscape core rules and the lava tiles of the Boiling Tension expansion, neither of which is included here: Order Marker, Army Card, Squad, lava field tile, molten lava tile, Small, Medium, Height, levels of terrain, normal attack, leaving engagement attack, engagement, adjacent, and the Vorid and Ninja tags.
- Lava tile supply. The rules for the lava field tile and the molten lava tile (their shape, their effect on movement and attacks, and how many of each the game provides) are not printed in this product. Volcanic Carapace relies on those tiles, so they must come from a source outside this product.
