Creeps

**Creeps** are similar to the creatures from the film 'Aliens'. Most have acid for blood that will corrode your weapons.

## Creep (purple)

*Hint: 'These burrowing monstrosities will haunt your dreams forever. You notice they are well armored and armed to the teeth. Their blood burns little holes in your metal weapons. You need to be careful around these horrible monsters. If you want to live to tell the tale, that is.'*

Creeps are the most basic and common creep type found in the dungeon of doom. They are fast, tough and often appear in large groups walking in a conga line. Their melee hits drain your strength and they corrode your melee weapons when you hit them. Despite bleeding acid, they are not resistant to it, so weapons with corrosion enchantment or coated in acid do extra damage to them.

* Shoots spikes that drain you if hit.
* Their bite will also drain you.
* Cast enraged (+3 strength +2 haste) on themselves.

* Can swim in deep water.
* Bleed poison.

## The Hive Mind (Boss)

hint: *'Hm, that's odd. That lone pulsating egg over there doesn't seem to hatch? I think it may be controlling all the other eggs surrounding it!'*

*Book: 'I've found tracks of a burrowing creature and I could smell a faint whiff of acid. It has triggered a deep sense of foreboding. Whatever is creeping around here is NOT nice at all! Let's put it down to divine inspiration, that I figured out I needed to crush that lone, pulsating egg. Apparently it is a Mastermind for all the other eggs and Creeps.'*

* Summon creep eggs around it.
* Electrifies itself if you touch him, you lose 20hp.
