Lore
Who are the Duskclaw?
Copper-plated scavengers hunt beneath the crown’s roots.
Duskclaw belongs to The Rootbound. Bark, spores and roots — the forest that turned on its keepers. They fill the first floors. As a melee: The bulk of every horde: slow, plentiful and dangerous only when they surround you.
Attack
Contact
Has no special attack: it hurts by touching you, and it is dangerous only in numbers.
How to handle it: Keep moving so the pack never closes the circle, and let area skills thin it out.
