Puppeteer. The crawler the Teddy Brawler beats is pulled back onto its feet, once.

What it does.

Hangs back: it stops about 3 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.
Pulls the strings: a defeated ally within 4 tiles is pulled back up once, at 35% health. Then it recharges for 10s.

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.

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.

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.

The game's tip

The Puppeteer pulls defeated monsters back up. Get it first with piercing shots, chain zaps or blasts!
