Soul Twister

Highly intelligent bug that uses arcane knowledge to twist soul into vicious spells.

Hunter’s notes

I have heard others talk about ‘soul’ but I do not understand what it actually is. I do know that freshly killed meat tastes best - is that because the ‘soul’ still clings to it?

The notes unlock after 20 kills.

Nail hits to kill

Its 35 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).
