Vodnik Alpha

Adversaries Designed by Alan Valles

Adversary overview

A taller, more imposing creature than the other vodniks, with blackened, scarred skin, long tusks, and glowing eyes that watch with cold intelligence

Designed to support Vodniks, it moves in and attacks alongside them for a turn, then quickly withdraws and lets the Vodniks do the rest of the work
