Sponge Brute. Knocked down to a third of its health and left alone, it soaks its health back up, until the soldiers arrive.

What it does.

Heals: 60 health a second, once nothing has hit it for 2s. Keep hitting it.

How often it comes: weight 1 when a night picks its nightmares (a Shadow Crawler is 3). Threat 4 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.
