About LEGO Castle Dark Forest

The Dark Forest subtheme released in 1996 consisted of only 3 sets and were primarily only available in North America. Dark Forest is a somewhat continuation of the Forestmen subtheme which was discontinued in 1990 as it reused the same crest and used other environment structures such as forest hideouts. Discontinued after 1996 with only three sets, it ties with Wolfpack as the smallest Castle theme. Dark Forest sets included factions like the Royal Knights, Black Knights, and Dragon Masters, and some minifigures later appeared in the 1997 Fright Knights theme. The Bulls' forest home in Knights' Kingdom is called the Dark Forest in some sources, though it's unclear if it's the same forest from this theme.

The Castle theme is one of LEGO’s primary themes first introduced in 1978 and based around medieval life with castles and knights.
