Skills
  • Claw Stomp — Rears up and slams its right foot down, causing two eruptions of rock directly in front of it.
  • Kick Up Confusion — Charges forward, releasing spines that strike the ground at its sides as it runs. Targets struck by either the charge or the spines suffer Bleeding.png Bleeding (10s) and Confusion.png Confusion (4s).
  • Spine Whip — Lashes its tail, shooting a spread of spines that each cause Bleeding.png2 Bleeding (60.5½s)

    • World Shift — Slams its claws down again after a delay, this time striking in a semicircle in front of it and a smaller cone behind it. Standing in the frontal semicircle deals heavy damage and applies Bleeding.png2 Bleeding (4s), Confusion.png2 Confusion (12s), and Stun.png Stun (3s); the rear cone instead only applies Confusion.png Confusion and Stun.png Stun, and deals a lesser amount of damage. Spines fly out from the impaler, each dealing damage and applying Bleeding.png2 Bleeding (5s).
