Join us in a class to understand the size of the various creatures that we encountered on our journey into the world of The Witcher.

The Witcher: Understanding the Monsters of the Continent and How Big They Are

Andrzej Sapkowski filled the world of The Witcher with a plethora of mysterious
beings. Taking inspiration from various cultures and mythologies; the Polish
writer has indeed created something unreal, and yet intriguing enough to build
stories in. Well, to be honest, Sapkowski worked a little too hard on his
world-building. Hence, it is now time for us to sit down and understand how big
and devastating these monsters of The Continent are.

While there are a vast variety of monsters in the books, the Netflix Original
has featured only a handful of monsters. However, the quality of those monsters
of breathtaking. Thanks to the amazing work of Zoltan Manyi, the Creature
Concept Artist of the show. Anyway, with no further ado, let’s dive right into
the bestiary of The Witcher world. But we will specifically talk about the size
of the monsters, keeping in mind the idea, “bigger is not always the better.”


THE ‘ALMOST-THE-SAME-SIZE’ TRIO OF THE WITCHER

Yes, there are differences in the capabilities, powers, and all-round adherence
of these creatures, but surprisingly, they are of the same size. We are talking
about the trinity that we met in The Witcher season 2 episode 2, ‘A Grain of
Truth
[https://netflixjunkie.com/a-subverted-version-of-beauty-and-the-beast-says-henry-cavill-on-a-grain-of-truth-in-the-witcher/].’
The Human/Witcher Geralt, Nivellen, and, of course, the deadly Bruxa aka the
rather cute Vereena

The encounter of the three was chaotic, to say the least. However, it provided
us an opportunity to look at Geralt’s long-lost friend. Nivellen is definitely
not life-threatening at all, but it is his lover Vereena that would send chills
to your spine. A piece of advice, if you ever find a beautiful girl creepily
climbing up your bed, just run to Geralt. That is your best chance of survival.
Trust us.


THE AESCHNA AND THE MYRIAPOD

Next up we got two rather amazing beasts, namely the Aeschna and the Myriapod
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-2-clip-new-sword-meets-new-monster-the-myriapod/].
We got a look at the Myriapod, thanks to that amazing fight sequence between it
and the White Wolf. But sadly, the Aeschna never made it to the show. We hope to
see it in the future someday because honestly the fight between the Aeschna and
Geralt is truly exhilarating in the books, and we would definitely love to see
it play out on the screen.

THE LESHYS OF NETFLIX’S THE WITCHER

We all were excited to see the leshy when it was first announced to appear in
season 2. However, we never thought that we will get to see two different kinds
of leshys. The showrunner Lauren S, Hissrich
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-showrunner-lauren-s-hissrich-answers-fans-questions-ahead-of-season-2-release/],
turned a fan-favorite character of Eskel into a mutated. It was fun and exciting
to watch it, but it broke our heart to see him die. We also saw Queen Leshy,
which was defeated by Geralt

and Ciri
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ciri-in-the-witcher-a-comparison-from-the-books-the-series-and-the-game/]
in the woods surrounding Kaer Morhen.

THE ONE BEAST WHO WE HATE THE MOST AND ONE WE LOVE

We have to say, even though there were 2 other villains in The Witcher season 2
that we were supposed to hate the most, i.e., The Deathless Mother
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-2-ending-explained-and-what-lies-ahead/]
and The Wild Hunt
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-what-is-the-wild-hunt-in-the-witcher-explained-from-the-book-and-series/].
Even then, there is nothing we hate more than Chernobog. Why? Because it killed
Roach, it’s that simple. Well, truth be told, the Chernobog was also a pretty
scary beast, but we swear to attack it and avenge the death of our dear Roach

Sure, we expected a few more monsters and fights in the second season of The
Witcher. But we don’t always get what we want, and as Vesemir
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-clip-a-look-at-kim-bodnias-vesemirs-and-geralts-bond/]
said, “There’ll always be another monster, Geralt.”

We hope to see some new beasts in Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/]‘s The
Witcher Season 3
