Ash Crawler
The first thing that tries to kill you. Step too heavy and they erupt in swarms.
MONSTER ECOLOGY · LESSONS WRITTEN IN TEETH
100 ways to die. Learn them all.
The world does not contain trash mobs. It contains things that have learned how to live here better than you have. From ash crawlers and rime hounds to forge-born horrors, carrion kites and world bosses, every creature in the Ashen Realms belongs to a place, a pressure and a lesson. Study the ecology. Or become part of it.
