Shambling Mound
A shifting heap of swamp vegetation and dark soil that engulfs anything it can catch.
It barely looks alive until it moves. The Shambling Mound is a mass of rotting plants, swamp water, and compressed soil that has, somehow, acquired an appetite. It prefers to engulf its prey whole and let the digestive acids do the work. The faintly glowing spores it releases are not decorative.

- Notes
- Passive regen means prolonged fights favour the Mound. Engulf is the priority avoid -- grabbed players need CC breaks or teammate burst to force release. Immune to poison and bleed. Highly vulnerable to burn and slash damage.
