THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Shambling Berserker

also known as Mini Grinder, The Shrilling

First seen: Book 2, Chapter 18

Level-12 undead mob, a thirteen-foot pile of scavenged human limbs and heads sewn together into a slug-like shape, per its own examine card built from leftover parts left over after the World Dungeon's creation. Slow and mostly harmless in the light, but their power quadruples in darkness, where they turn tenacious and relentless. A pack of them, backed by two city elves casting an anti-magic spell, ambushes Carl, Donut, and Mongo in an unnatural, sudden nightfall outside an abandoned pool.
