Hive Guardian

Protects the Hive by hurling its huge body at intruders.

Hunter’s notes

Like their smaller kin, their only instinct is to protect the Hive at any cost to themselves. Somewhat clumsy, they’ll often damage the structure of the Hive when charging at intruders. Does this cause them shame? I do not know whether they have the capacity for such a thing.

The notes unlock after 12 kills.

Nail hits to kill

Its 100 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).
