Default Anyone heard about 'epic' monsters?

Just wondering if anyone had any more news on them. I heard they were some sort of huge creatures that people have created and ported over to your game and have been classed as 'epic' because they're really powerful, but not too sure. Any more information would be helpful xD

Basically, the Epics are just going to be huge creatures. Theres a few for each phase, and generally it just best to keep the hell out of their way. But I think if you really want to you can try to take it down. Be quiet a challenge to do so.

Sow that to But I don't think it was one of the "epic" bosses, only 2 huge monsters. Because there is only one in each phase or something I think.

There should be more then 1 epic per stage and they will be on every planet as far as i know, the epic cells look funny, they hit you once and you die...so running would be a good idea...or swimming as the case may be.

Although all of you should really look forward to the Cells stage epics, because i think that when you grow in size every half level in the Cell phase, the other creatures become accoringly smaller in roportion. So epic will become pray... YUM (and they have big weakness anyway)
