Isalyia, a thriving kingdom on a secluded peninsula, was hit by a wild magic surge that affected arcane substances and devices, causing the catastrophic "Night of the Behemoths." The surge transformed roughly 2% of the populace into massive animal-human hybrids, known as Behemoths, with heightened predatory instincts and robust libidos. Another 20% grew animal features, while the rest were unaffected.
On that night, the Behemoths, towering between 10 to 15 feet, consumed many people alive. Among them was Cory Hart, a simple farmboy, who drank a large jar of orange liquid he found in the icebox after a long day of hard work. Unbeknownst to him, the liquid was his friend Deacon's experimental potion affected by the surge of wild magic, which caused him to transform into a 20-foot-tall tiger man Behmoth.
