Brood Angler
The roach nests by the chapel, among the broken egg husks
What it is
A roach the size of a dog, with a lure growing out of its back. On the end of the lure is a human arm holding a lamp, held out at exactly the height somebody would hold one to see by.
Abel took one of its cousins' heads for his lamp.
How it fights
It barely bites. It holds its light out at you, and it lays eggs.
Each Roach Egg goes on one part and heals it 50 when it hatches two turns later, unless an attack lands on that part first. Every swing you spend breaking eggs is a swing you are not spending on killing it, and that is the whole trick.

Abel's notes
Lays, then waits.
A roach the size of a dog, with a lure on its back - a human arm holding a lamp, held at exactly the height you would hold one. It barely bites. It lays eggs on you, then waits for them to hatch and heal it. Break the eggs, or it outlasts you. I took its cousin's head for my lamp.
Kate says
Don't follow the light.
That lamp on its back is somebody's arm. Don't follow the light. And break the eggs it lays on you before they open - they're what mends it.
