The Matango update should arrive fairly soon, it was supposed to be a smaller update unless feature creep has happened again and they get fleshed out more than was initially planned for this update. The only overt hints have been that the Caverns will feature girls that for the most part are more predatory, as in they're not seeking love and affection and only see you as a source of food and will milk you until you faint and warp back to the Church, and there will probably be fewer out of combat events as a result as well. Probably a fair chance for more Arachne like Camilla, and if so, they'll likely be in predator mode like how you can cause Camilla's instincts to temporarily take over if you keep struggling in her web.You have been most helpful, L30, much appreciated. That Arch-Imp teaser looks absolutely delicious, can't wait to see her in the game. I'm less excited for the matango update, nothing against her, but she really doesn't do it for me. Hopefully both of those updates will arrive sooner than later and flesh out the characters a bit more. Not that I'm complaining, but it's been a long time since a new area was added. I wonder what we can expect to see in there, any clues as to a general theme?
There may be Matango variants as well as their codex entry in the grimoire states that more dangerous types of Matango reside beyond the Mountain area, so it could be a situation akin to the Harpies on the Mountain and Tengu Harpies in the Temple. The reason for this guess being that there aren't very many other plausible regions to place the more dangerous Matango beyond the Caverns and the Labyrinth given the other areas are the Capital and its dungeon, the Desert and its Pyramid, and the Demon Queen's Castle, the latter of which could work but it would seem less likely for the other two areas. However, this is also assuming they'll make an appearance, which they may not.
A number of guesses were launched, including bat girls, snake girls which may include Lamia or Medusa, various insect and arthropod type girls and the like, but there have been no confirmations for any of the general encounters nor most unique encounters. Although, there was one specifically confirmed monster girl for the Caverns, Perpetua will make her grand return as your sworn nemesis. That was somewhat expected however as she did wind up wandering into the Caverns at the end of the scene where the Black Knight wrecks the lift for the Mountain.
So, in summation, you can expect hungry predators who see you as a food source and Perpetua in the Caverns. I do hope that you've found this helpful, Eredin5.
