>>29668598I agree with this. Not sure about the post-game Edgelord, though.
Not all totem battles are different between versions, and not all UBs need to be either.
Also, it means we battle more than just one per island. The impending threat of the bizarre creatures would be pretty dull if we encountered them one per island in some orthodox pattern, and if they didn't become more common and dangerous as the game went on.
