Barrelwight

Adversaries Designed by Hack Shack Gaming

Adversary overview

Undead backup singers wearing the ghostly barrels they died in.

Barrelwights were Mugsy Brann’s “loyal” backup singers, the Barrelboys. They wore empty ale barrels as part of their costume, at Mugsy’s behest. They died in them, a humiliating death that torments their souls.
Now they roam the tavern, bound to their barrels forever, humming tuneless harmonies and serving as Mugsy’s chorus of eternal bad taste.
