What it does.
- Hangs back: it stops about 2.5 tiles behind your front toy while another nightmare on foot stands between it and the toys. Alone in front, it walks up and chews like any other.
- Drumbeat: allies within 1.8 tiles march and bite 20% faster. Bosses are never sped up.
How often it comes: weight 0.5 when a night picks its nightmares (a Shadow Crawler is 3). Threat 5 is what it costs of a night's threat budget.

The PC game's story ends at level 240, so the table stops there.
Normal nights; boss nights and Hard Mode scale differently. From level 42 some nightmares are pink elites: a plain elite has ×1.6 health and ×1.25 bites; from level 101 an elite may have a trick instead of the extra health. The whole curve
Beating it.
