Scourge Foe Art Masters
This is the lore-app attachment point for Scourge foe art masters. Game runtime sprites are derivatives; they do not define canon.
Current Lock
The active target is clean comic-book / cel-shaded ink. Pixel-art runtime files are scaffolding until replaced. A master sheet is acceptable only if it can drive runtime production: isolated subjects, fixed camera, full body, shared baseline, large gutters, no overlap, no cropped limbs, and no shadows/floor that complicate cutout.

Swarm Ripper
The fast candidate is the current best match for canon: it reads as quick melee fodder with blade forearms and toxic-green breach nodes. The heavier candidate is kept as reference only because it pushes too far toward elite/boss mass.
Bestiary v02 Individual Masters
Dedicated per-foe master candidates generated for review:
packages/assets/masters/art/scourge/bestiary-v02/.
Placeholder Attachments
These remain attached so the lore app can show what existed before this master pass, but they do not define canon.
Next Generation Pass
- Review the candidate masters in-lore, approve or request targeted variants, then cutout-clean runtime derivatives from approved sheets only.
- Regenerate game sprites from approved masters only.
- Generate per-asset sheets, not crowded lineups: one enemy per front/side/back sheet, one FPS weapon per viewmodel sheet.
Bestiary v01 Master Boards
