THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Mrs. Ghazi

also known as The Sand Ooze

First seen: Book 4, Chapter 21

Formally examined: a level-52 Borough Boss, a minion of the banished lesser deity Psamathe. Its own unusually somber flavor text frames it as an unwilling servant torn between loving Ghazi, resenting that he doesn't love it back, and an inability to disobey whoever sent it. Regrows from a single grain of sand and can't be permanently killed while Psamathe remains in the world; only shrinks under fire, cold, dilution, or electricity. Burned down to its core and defeated by Carl in the boss chamber, though the castle's collapse and flood happen in the same instant, leaving its actual death unconfirmed on the page beyond the system's own notification.

History by chapter
Book 4
Chapter 21
  • TAG Threat: Surges up through the sand floor to attack the moment it senses Carl and Donut watching Ghazi through a peephole; Katia pulls Carl back and Donut's Wall of Fire buys the party time to flee up the stairs
Chapter 22
  • LEVEL Level: 52
  • TAG Boss: A borough boss, per its own examine card; a minion of the banished lesser deity Psamathe
  • TAG Defeated: Burned down to its core with Carl's own burn gel while distracted by a decoy alarm sphere and Katia's own thrown items; the boss-defeated notification fires the instant the boss chamber's ceiling collapses
Chapter 23
  • TAG Defeated: Not actually dead per Carl's own correction; melted down and washed away by the drain flood, presumably still out there as a single grain of sand, unable to properly regenerate. The party gets no boss box because of it
