Leak: Leshen to be Featured in The Witcher Season 2
Good news for all fans of monsters featured in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is said that the second season of The Witcher from Netflix is to feature a Leshen. Will the monster be just like the one we know from the game?
If you're a fan of the Witcher video game series or if you put them above the original stories and books in your own hierarchy, then you could feel a little disappointed watching the series from Netflix. The show drew a handful from the works of Andrzej Sapkowski, almost completely igmoring the ideas proposed by CD Projekt RED. However, this may change, as everything indicates that in the second season of the series we will meet an "old friend" from The Witcher 3.
Redanian Intelligence reports that Leshen, a forest spirit and an enemy in the third game, may appear on the screen. Interestingly, it seems that it will not be just an episodic performance (as in the case of kikimora in the first season), but an important moment for the plot. One of the protagonists is to meet a Leshen, which will have "serious consequences". We don't know who this character will be, although we have our suspicions - after all there is a certain monster killer on the loose.
Although Geralt is quite an obvious choice when it comes to be the one to encounter the Leshen, it doesn't have to be that way. Let's remember that in the second season we'll probably see the other witchers. Who knows, maybe it's "Papa Vesemir" who will have to deal with the monster? It's also worth mentioning that so far the creators from Netflix have proposed an original look for every monster, so in this case it will probably be the same. Though I wouldn't be offended to see the Leshen based mainly on the model from the game.
Anyway, the information about the appearance of the forest spirit itself is a good thing. Barely mentioned in the work of Andrzej Sapkowski, the monster, which got some nice spotlight in Wild Hunt, has a chance to become one of the most interesting elements of the show. Who knows, maybe it won't be just the Leshen. Which other game opponent would you like to see on the screen?
