Elder Baldur

Bulky and covered in thick plating. Retracts into itself when attacked.

Hunter’s notes

As they age, these creatures become too heavy and lumpy to roll around freely. Instead, they curl up and hide from the world. What do they think of in there, wrapped up inside of themselves? More carefree times perhaps.

The notes unlock after 1 kill.

Its 60 HP over the nail's damage per hit at each upgrade, plain and with Fragile or Unbreakable Strength (×1.5, rounded the game's way).
