Valentine’s Day Cards, Sweet Sales, and INSANE Alien Gameplay?

by

We’ve all seen those low-effort yet hilarious Valentine’s Day cards that flood our social media feeds every February, right? This year, we asked our Discord community to participate in a contest to create a similar Behemoth-themed card to share the love (and some laughs). 

They turned out to be more thoughtful and sweet than low effort, so it was hard to choose just a few out of the bunch. Buuuut, we had three cute Gluten plushies to give out, so drumroll please~

Valentine’s Day Contest 2023 Winners ♥

Feast your eyes on the cutest Pit People card from community member Lagomorph.

Next, here’s a hilarious card from Burnt Toast that made us giggle and turn our harts all… runny? We might need to get that checked out.

And lastly, check out the sweetest little card from Beane, who always strives for Agent representation in our Discord full of alien fans.

Co-op Sale Goodies ♥

Wondering about those sweet Valentine’s co-op sales? Well we’ve got a few going on right now, so hold your breath and read all of this out loud quickly.

Want to sit on a couch and Pit People against each other in a big ol’ pit? What about sitting on a couch with a friend and Crashers Castle? Wait, that was supposed to say Castle Crashers.. Anyways, both games are on sale as part of the worldwide Xbox Gaming Together Sale! From now until Feb. 20, enjoy 60% off Pit People and 50% off Castle Crashers if you please.

We’ve also got a treat for our knights on PlayStation! Castle Crashers is currently 30% off, and if you have a PlayStation+ membership, you can DOUBLE that percentage to 60% off thanks to Sony’s Double Discount Sale. Now until March 1, you can grab this deal here, or on a PlayStation near you.

For our last sale of the season, Nintendo’s Winter Sale for the European region is in full swing, with Castle Crashers on sale for 50% off until Feb. 26. If you read all of that out loud, I’m proud of you. If you didn’t, don’t worry. I didn’t either. I’m still proud of you!

An INSANE Stream? INSANITY! ♥

But wait, there’s one more delicious piece of news! We’ll be streaming next Friday on Twitch and YouTube. Come by at 2PM PST to watch your favorite community managers (ehehehehe) play Alien Hominid Invasion on INSANE mode. Check out the stream for some epic gameplay and stay for the laughs, as we certainly won’t die, right?

Halloween 2022 Contest Winners

by

It’s been the spookiest of times, it’s been the artiest of times. And it’s been an absolutely incredible return to hosting contests here at The Behemoth!

We are so grateful to every single person who entered a masterpiece into our Behemoth Halloween 2022 Art Contest, and to everyone in our Discord server providing some good Halloween discourse. There was an unearthly amount of aliens running around in their first ever Halloween costumes this year: some adorable, and some horrifying.

Also, the amount of talent that you all have hiding up your sleeve? I don’t have any Twix up my sleeve like that! (I ate all mine already on Halloween…)

Before we get to it, we wanted to let you know; due to the influx of costumed aliens pouring out of the sky and crash landing on Earth, we have decided to add some extra winners to all the categories, and some extra prizes. If we were able to, we would give each and every human who entered some sort of prize. Maybe we’ll send each alien with a briefcase of stickers to scatter as they land to Earth.

So without further ado…

Winners of the “Greatest Extraterrestrial Costume” Award:

Larry “Gareth”

Winners of the “Spooky Scary Alien” Award:

Behemoth Halloween Is Back With a SpooOOooky Alien Contest!

by

SpooOOOOooky SCAAARY aliens!!!! Did I send shivers down your spine?? We are now smack dab in the middle of spooky season, and it’s time to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year, Behemoth Halloween!

We were so busy chasing aliens around last year that we needed to take a break from our typical Halloween shenanigans, but have no fear, we’re back with a special Alien Hominid Invasion-themed challenge.

This year, our team wants you to decorate our little alien in his favorite Halloween costume. Use the template below or, if you’re a bit more art-savvy than me, create an original drawing from scratch to prepare this extraterrestrial pal for trick-or-treating – just make sure you hold his hand and look both ways before crossing the street.

Contest Details

• Because Alien Hominid Invasion is jam-packed with cool power-ups that change the player’s alien head and gun, our main requirements are that you modify his weapon and head, at the bare minimum; feel free to go above and beyond!
• Dress him up as a skeleton, superhero, secret agent, school girl, hot dog, you name it – anything is fair game!
• We maaaay give bonus points if you can come up with some stellar stat boosts your costume provides!!!

Categories and Prizes

There will be two winners for each category, and both original and template artwork will be eligible for prizes from our merch store!

(1) Our personal favorites out of all submissions will receive the Greatest Extraterrestrial Costume Award.
Prizes: Choice of “Bear” or Skeleton Figurine + Troll Bag + choice of Necromancer or Alien Hominid keychain

(2) The creepiest costumes will be up for the SpooOOOOooky SCAAARY Alien Award. (I’m already spooked just thinking about the possibilities.)
Prizes: Painbow Horse Throw Blanket + Classified Tote

(3) Last but not least, the silliest (the ones that make us laugh until our sides hurt) entries will be crowned with the Silly Silly Alien Award.
Prizes: Raccoon Hat + Necro Socks + Troll Bag

How to Enter

When your alien is appropriately dressed head-to-gun for Halloween, you can enter by sharing your artwork to either Discord or Twitter. If posting on Twitter, be sure to use the hashtag #BehemothHalloween so we can share it with the universe! If entering on Discord, please join our server here and post your creation in the #behemoth-halloween-2022 channel. We’ll share any Twitter-only entries with the community here, too.

To be eligible for prizes, post your spooOOooOOky entry before October 31st, 2022, at 11:59 PM PT. We’ll spend the following week voting for our favorites before announcing and contacting the winners on social media.

Official Rules

Spooked yet? Here are the official rules for Behemoth Halloween 2022:

• No purchase is necessary.
• Participants must be 18 or older to enter (if in the US), or have parental consent.
