Bestiary

The dead don't wait for you. They stroll about, stop to look around, spot you and turn on whoever is closest. Health below is each enemy's base value in the current build.

#The restless dead

#Spiders

Spiderlings, Gloomweavers and Widows. Their webs slow you to a crawl.

#Zombies

Flesh, not bone: hits draw blood. Zombies limp and lurch, one arm hanging dead, heads lolling, twitching now and then. They often come in packs of three. Drop Rotten Teeth.

#Goblins

Quick little thieves that fight in packs. Drop Stolen Trinkets.

#Wendigos

Gaunt, antlered hunters with a long reach. Drop Wendigo Antlers.

#Drakes

Dragons, from dog-sized drakelings to the Elder Drake. They bite, rake with a foreclaw and lash their tails across the front of them (the tail sweep can't be parried: block it or get clear). The bigger ones breathe a held stream of fire that sets the ground burning. Under the open sky of the Cursed Forest and the Hollow Ruins, Drakes and Elder Drakes fly. Drop Drake Scales and, from the biggest, Ember Hearts. Everything about fighting them is on Drakes and dragon fire.

#Mimics

About one chest in a hundred has teeth. It looks, glows and prompts like any other chest until you try to open it; then fangs grow round the lid, four legs shove it up, and it hops after you.

#Bosses

One guardian stands before the way down on each of the first three depths, and the portal stays sealed until it falls. They fight like the Warden (sweep, combo, slam, lunge, and an enrage below half health) with a ranged special each.

Two more bosses keep lairs in the Cursed Forest: the Broodmother in every forest, and the Drake Matriarch in some. Each wakes when you come close, brings up a boss bar, and won't be led far from home.
