Monsters
The monster roster
The roster is the reason this game exists, so we track it in three strict tiers: confirmed by official product or marketing, named in official license announcements, and possible because the license holder controls the property.
We never blur the tiers, because half the fun and half the misinformation around this game is roster speculation. A name moves between tiers on an official source, cited, on the day the source appears.
The official count to hold in your head: Hellbreak’s own blog states Dawn of Terror ships with 10 mechanically unique monster cards across 7 unique characters. Three characters - Jaws, Dracula, and one that was still unannounced as of that post - each get two distinct monster cards; four more get one each. All seven characters are now confirmed by name. We are still not guessing which of them holds that second card slot alongside Jaws and Dracula, because the reporting on it is genuinely ambiguous, and a guess printed as fact is exactly what this page exists to avoid.
Confirmed
Appearing in announced product or official marketing.
Dracula
From Dracula (1931), Universal
Revealed in Creatures of the Night
The starter set headliner, described in official copy as commanding the legions of the night. Two Dracula monster cards exist in the transcribed pool - the Transylvanian Terror from the starter and an Ancient Vampire printing - which makes him one of the characters the official blog describes as getting more than one mechanically unique card. His reveal pack also carried Aleera, Verona and Marishka, the three brides from the 2004 Van Helsing film, so the brides belong here rather than filed under a separate character.
Jaws
From Jaws (1975), Universal
Revealed in Shadows of the Deep
The other half of the starter set, and the pick that tells you the roster is not limited to gothic classics. Press coverage of the Jaws reveal compared the double-sided monster card to a Leader in Star Wars Unlimited, a card the whole deck is built around. That is press framing rather than an official rules statement, but it matches how the official material describes the Monster type.
The Bride of Frankenstein
From Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Universal
Revealed in Beautiful Bride
Named in official launch coverage and given a full reveal pack of her own. Her rules text is the reason we can name one of the three scheme icons at all: it uses the word "foresee" for the middle icon, which no official glossary has published.
The Wolf Man
From The Wolf Man (1941), Universal
No cards revealed yetConfirmed by name in official card teaser copy, described as a feral beast roaming mist-choked forests. That sentence is the entire public record. No Wolf Man card has been revealed, so there is no art, no stats, no aspect and no reveal pack to report.
Death Angels
From A Quiet Place (2018), Paramount
No cards revealed yetConfirmed July 3, 2026 in the first Card Reveal Season post, which revealed the Colossal Death Angel monster card alongside an "A Quiet Place" location card. The same post called it the set’s second Feral monster card, which is the only monster-to-aspect mapping any official source has stated and also tells us at least one other Feral monster exists in Dawn of Terror. No card image from that reveal is in our pool, so there is nothing here to transcribe yet.
Jason Voorhees
From Friday the 13th (1980), Paramount
No cards revealed yetConfirmed at Gen Con on July 30, 2026, with multiple Jason cards shown in coverage over the following days. We have no card images and no transcribed records, so this page carries the confirmation and nothing more. Coverage of that reveal is also the reason we refuse to say which character holds the second mechanically unique monster card slot alongside Jaws and Dracula: the wording could describe either that, or the ordinary double-sided card every character gets.
The Headless Horseman
From Sleepy Hollow (1999), Paramount
Revealed in The Rider Returns
Confirmed through official card-image downloads, and the clearest evidence that the license pool runs past the four studios named at announcement: the card art carries a Paramount copyright line, and the pack includes Lady Van Tassel, which ties the character to the 1999 Sleepy Hollow film rather than to any Universal property. His two faces differ by more than numbers - the Unleashed side gains the Slasher trait and a different scheme value.
Named in official announcements as part of the license pool
- Universal Products and Experiences
- The flagship partner, with the official line noting characters spanning genre-defining classics and horror’s late twentieth century resurgence.
- Blumhouse, AMC, and Lionsgate
- Named in launch press. Worth flagging: three of the seven confirmed monsters above - Death Angels, Jason Voorhees, and the Headless Horseman - do not trace back to this original four-name list, and the Horseman’s card art carries a Paramount copyright line outright. The real license pool is broader than what was announced at launch.
Possible
Controlled by announced partners, zero confirmation. Eligible is not announced. Buy nothing on the assumption a specific one of these arrives.
- The Purge
- Michael Myers
- M3gan
- Five Nights at Freddy's
Why the tiers matter for your wallet
Licensed games sell speculation. The gap between "Universal controls Halloween" and "Michael Myers is in set two" is exactly where preorder hype gets ahead of reality. When a monster moves tiers, it moves here the same day, with the source. Official card reveals are happening weekly under the banner Card Reveal Season, started July 3, 2026, so check back often, or watch our news page for each reveal as it lands.
