**"Nian"** is a Reoccurring Time-Limited B-Tier Costume for the The Feaster, Hastur. It was introduced as part of the Spring Festival (2020) Event, during Season 9, and as of the event's completion it cannot be obtained anymore. It returned during Wishing Lights Event as part of the Event Store Rewards for a Limited Amount of Time.

## Availability

As it is not a true Limited Costume (which are denoted by the "limited" tag found in the top right of certain card icons), it can return to the Event Store multiple times.

* It was originally released on January 8th to February 9th 2020 through the Spring Festival (2020) Event.
* It was re-released 2 years later on the Event Store from January 22nd to February 15th 2022 during the Wishing Lights (2022) Event.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

When equipped, His hood is a red mist and bright red eyes.

### **Robes**

His tattered robes are mainly white, but red along the hems and on the hood, where it is also decorated with swirling golden patterns.

### **Object**

#### Discs

His floating wheel is made of branches tied together in a pentagon with grey stripes, while red string is tied in the center holding up three red talismans.

#### Tentacles

Hastur has dark red tentacles with golden lines.

## Trivia

* The costume "Nian" is based on the mythical beast, Nian, from Chinese Mythology.
* Much like many other Hastur costumes, in the Chinese version of the game "Nian's" eyes are blue rather than red, to make the character's appearance less intimidating.
