Enemy NPCs:Nightmare Night Event

**Nightmare Night Event Enemy NPCs** are a category of NPC Enemies that were a series of enemies introduced in the v1.23.0 update alongside the Health and Melee weapon mechanics. These enemies were only found during the 2022 Nightmare Night seasonal event and it is currently unknown if they will return is subsequent years. They could be found in the Sewers, however only the "Hill" Sewer entrance could be used, as the others entrances had become blocked off either by a supernatural or physical force.

As hinted by the promotional .gif for v1.23.0 this list of enemies features a legion of ghoul-like creatures who used their powers to reanimate the hung skeleton of the raider, Death Grip. Each enemy is considered a very deadly foe as unlike the Ghoul enemies located at the at the Radioactive Waste Dump these enemies utilized the NPC Health and Damage scaling mechanic to ensure they would be deadly enemies regardless of the player count in the Sewers. Each enemy present here will have their base HP value recorded.

Most of these enemies, bar the Elite Enemy, Death Grip, will randomly spawn with a variety of possible melee weapons (Sometimes even Legacy Weapons). Unlike the Player's Pony this does not affect their damage outputted due to the aforementioned Health and Damage mechanic.

Though it is hard to fully tell, the use of facial patterns combined with a name that defies the standard equine naming convention. It is highly implied that Zashchita is a Zebra.

It is also highly likely that like Zashita, like others in this roster, is a Glowing Ghoul given by the excessive green color present, as well as the brighter green color present across their body.

Part of Nuketorne's name is foremost a reference to the Nuclear Bomb, which devastated America in Fallout Cannon.

*This section refers to Death Grip as an enemy present during the Nightmare Night Event, for more general information and history on the NPC, see Death Grip.*
**Death Grip** is the elite (or Boss) enemy of the event. A recurring presence each Autumn and Nightmare Night, though the help of others they became reanimated into a deadly threat. Their speed, health, and damage output makes them a force to contend with even with a significant amount of player to aid in the fight.

Death Grip will spawn in the southern most part of the Sewers, by the "Waste dump" Wasteland entrance every 20 minutes. If there is no players in their nearby vicinity, they will despawn. However this will shorten the respawn timer significantly.

Death Grip is a flesh colored reanimated creature with bright green lights that glows from their eye sockets and nose cavity, their messy hair's ranges from a sickly green to a brown, implying dyed hair which has long since faded. They wear a decaying brown shirt with a dark brown vest, black pants and brown boots. On their head they wear their spiked helmet, with the spikes and skull drawing both in a crimson color.

Finally, unlike all other Enemies present in this event, they can only wield one item. The unique weapon, the 💎 Krivbekhavi.

It is hard to say what exactly Death Grip is, on one hand it is logical to call them a Ghoul, as in the promotional .gif for v1.23.0, they were surrounded by multiple glowing ghouls, and in several Fallout Games Glowing ghouls are capable for reanimating dead ghouls. Plus their appearance here seems similar to that of the other Ghouls present.

Conversely, Death Grip never became a Ghoul, and instead had their flesh rotted until only the skeleton was left, rendering it theoretically impossible for them to ever be reanimated by a Glowing Ghoul. This suggests that instead they are of necromantic origin, potentially akin to a Revenant. This is supported by the unique Knife they wield, who's name holds two references towards necromancy.

Once killed they have a guarantee chance of dropping the following item:

There was a rumor spread that Death Grip had a minute chance to drop the Legacy item, Rose. However it is currently unknown how true this statement is.
