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.
- Gloom: nightmares within 1.6 tiles of it, itself included, take half damage while they are outside light.
How often it comes: weight 0.5 when a night picks its nightmares (a Shadow Crawler is 3). Threat 6 is what it costs of a night's threat budget.
Health by level.
The numbers above are its base values. Every night multiplies the health and the bites of its nightmares by the level's scale.
| Night | Health scale | Health | As a plain elite, in all | Bite / s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 223 | ×6.51 | 2,214 | 3,543 | 345 |
| Level 230 | ×6.57 | 2,234 | 3,575 | 347 |
| Level 250 | ×6.87 | 2,335 | 3,735 | 362 |
| Level 310 | ×8.6 | 2,924 | 4,678 | 445 |
| Level 410 | ×9.65 | 3,282 | 5,252 | 495 |
| Level 510 | ×10.04 | 3,415 | 5,463 | 514 |
| Level 590 | ×11.11 | 3,777 | 6,042 | 565 |
| Level 1,010 | ×11.51 | 3,913 | 6,261 | 585 |
| Level 2,010 | ×12.26 | 4,169 | 6,670 | 623 |
| Level 4,910 | ×14.1 | 4,793 | 7,669 | 714 |
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.
