Underlings

Underlings are the generic enemies of a SBURB session in Homestuck. Underlings, opposing players under the Denizens of the planets and the agents of Derse, come in multiple forms, sizes, and elemental typings. The power and appearance of underlings vary depending on the type of grist they drop as well as any prototyping made by players before entering the Medium.
==Role in the Beatdown Lore==
Underlings appear as generic enemies throughout Beatdown’s Lore, wandering the world and attacking anything they come across.
The underlings so far are primarily featured during the Beatdown monster hunting trip, where multiple teams of four were created to cull the underling population in a nearby forest. All of the underlings that appear so far in the woods are the ones from John Egbert’s planet, the Land of Wind and Shade, as they are made of tar and dressed like clowns.
==Types of Underlings==
===Imp===
Imps are the most common and the weakest underlings. They usually work together in groups and attack with punches or other weapons they find. The only Imp variants shown so far in Beatdown are Shale Imps, coated in black tar and jester outfits.
Shale Imps are fought in the forest during the Beatdown hunting trip, as shown in Spinel’s Intro and Harry’s Outro. Amethyst, Pearl, Harry, The Batter and PeanutButterGamer slay a few Imps. Shale Imps also appear within the Beatdown Intro.
===Ogre===
Ogres are the first substantial threat to players in SBURB sessions, being much larger than Imps and dealing much more damage. Ogres bash foes with their massive fists and can even wield large objects as weapons. The only Ogre variants shown so far in Beatdown are Crude Ogres, coated in black tar and jester outfits.
Crude Ogres are fought in the forest during the Beatdown hunting trip, as shown in Ruby’s reveal trailer, Spinel’s Intro and Harry’s Outro. Ruby helps Gary Oak’s team slay an Ogre after Stephen Quire runs away from the underling. Likewise, Garnet, Viola, Harry and Eduardo slay Ogres. Crude Ogres also appear within the Beatdown Intro.
===Basilisk===
Basilisks are early-mid game underlings within SBURB, being the first quadrupedal enemies. They typically bite down on enemies and breathe fire in their direction. The only Basilisk variants shown so far in Beatdown are Tar Basilisks, coated in black tar and jester outfits.
Tar Basilisks are fought in the forest during the Beatdown hunting trip, as shown in Harry’s Outro. Harry and Mrs. Mavilda slayed the few Basilisks that appeared
===Lich===
Liches are mid-leveled enemies in SBURB, standing taller than Imps with prominent skeletal features. Any specific abilities held by Liches are currently unknown. The only Lich variants shown so far in Beatdown are Crude Liches, coated in black tar and jester outfits.
Crude Liches are fought in the forest during the Beatdown hunting trip, as shown in Harry’s Outro. Blockhead is the only person who has fought one.
==Trivia==
*As of Spinel’s lore segments, the underlings use sound effects from the enemies of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Imps use the same sounds as Bokoblins, and Ogres use the same sound as Moblins.
**Previously, the Crude Ogre in Ruby’s reveal trailer used monster sounds from Undertale.
