| The post Logan Bonnar's blog is where this likley snippet of specualtion from MarioCleanstuff comes from, and I'm just reposting as it is from the not so often looked at 4th edition forum.
Logan: IÂ was working on one of the Monster Manual V monsters currently slated for DDM set 17, and I looked at it's entry. My thought process went something like this:
Wait. It's role isn't written down here. What is this guy supposed to do?
Is 53 hit points a lot?
Wait. I have to look up a feat? Why does this guy even have feats?
MarioCleanStuff:
Well, I can say without a doubt that the creature is the Shardsoul Slayer. It is the only creature in the book with 53 HP, and it has the Powerful Charge feat to look up, so I'd say this is pretty conclusive evidence. Those with the book can find it on page 150.

Personally, I think they look decent. They're meant to function in groups, but they're CR 5. My guess is Uncommon. | |

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| Looks Mezzolothy to me. Still, not a bad uncommon and certainly not the worst of the retarded new monsters in the recent MMs.

I tend to agree, but why blog something now that will be long forgotten in 3-6 months.Â

| | Meh. Don't like it. As for it's appearance, I'm wondering if it will be in the Huge set after DDR. I guess I'll post it there if anywhere, but I don't know what to call that set yet, guess I'll just use the wotc method and call it set #16. | |

It's clearly stated in the blog that it'll be in set 17. It's quite a long way off. | |

| w00t!!!! I got credit and all I did was snatch the pic from WotC's site 
Not sure I'd have much use for it, but it would depend on what the mini looked like and rarity. Maybe a couple as an Unc, definitely zero as a rare. | |

| Its only current slated for #17 too - it might get moved around a bit, or even dropped.
Is it a medium or large? | |

| It's medium.
I would like it more if it weren't a construct. That, or if it looked more constructy. Maybe the mini will be somewhat different than the illustration. | |

I have no idea why I missed the "17". Must have been the excitement of just seeing another potential mini.Â
So set 14 is DoDesolatio, set 15 DoDread, set 16 a huge set, and then finally set 17 about 1 year from now. I'm still wondering why such an advance notice.Â
