THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Krakaren Clone

also known as The Many-Mouthed Creature

First seen: Book 1, Chapter 33

Level 10 Neighborhood Boss guarding the Rev-Up moonshine operation's boss chamber on floor 2: one clone of a dim, communal-minded species called Krakaren, distinct from a central 'Krakaren Prime' that births two replacement clones for every one killed. Fights blind, swinging screaming tentacles through the walls.

Physical

Tentacles:

Pink, up to fifteen feet long, covered in screaming, human-lipped mouths with no eyes; they burst through the walls and ceiling one after anotherB1C33

Mist Tentacle:

A different, later tentacle covered in hundreds of tiny orifices instead of mouths, hissing like a spray bottle and filling the room with a fine green mist that carries the Vigorous MeaslesB1C34

Build:

At least twenty feet tall, an immobile, octopus-like body leaned against the boss chamber's back wall. Half her head is burned away; what's left looks like a beaked mouth and a cluster of eyes, though Carl can't be fully sure given the damage. Black streaks like running mascara down the corpse; reeks of rotting seafoodB1C35

Location

Dead in her own burned-out boss chamber, the moonshine still beside her much smaller than Carl had guessedB1C35

The Rev-Up boss chamber, floor 2, breaking through into the room where Carl and Donut are trapped with itB1C33
