Occupies four locations.

FAQs
Q: What happens if a Mountain Giant occupies a Silence aura?
The "Occupies four locations" ability is non-basic, so it shrinks to size 1 while in the Silence aura. Choose a single site that the Mountain Giant occupies within the Silence aura, and then occupy only that site. When it leaves the aura, it returns to size 4 as follows: including the site that the Mountain Giant just moved to, choose a 2x2 area that the Silence aura does not affect (if possible). Note that a large aura minion (e.g. from Enchantress) remains large due to rules, not ability.
Q: What happens when a Large unit moves “as if the sites were adjacent” ?
Choose a contiguous group of squares the large unit can occupy (e.g. 2x2 for a Mountain Giant) that includes the destination location, and it moves from its current locations to the chosen squares. By default, its level must remain the same, unless it has some other movement ability or effect.
Q: If there is an attack in a location a large unit occupies, can the large unit move while defending, as long as it continues to occupy the location of the attack?
No, as they are already at the attack's location.
Q: If Magellan Globe is in play and a Large unit on the top row moves “up” one row to wrap around to the bottom, what happens?
It will occupy 2 locations on the top row and 2 locations on the bottom row. Ensure that game state is clear, using notes as needed.
Q: If Magellan Globe leaves play when a card is spanning the edge of the realm, what happens?
Units can't balance on the edge of the realm and a large unit that finds its way there falls to one side or the other. Its controller places it in the closest legal position, controller's choice if tied.
Q: If Polar Explorers or Ruler of Thul are in play and a Large unit on the top row moves “up” one row to wrap around to the bottom, what happens?
Units can't balance on the edge of the realm and a large unit that finds its way there falls to one side or the other. Its controller places it in the closest legal position, controller's choice if tied.
