Puffer Man
"Some Blood Wizards call these zombie and, frankly, it makes no difference because of how brainless these creatures are. They say that they shed their spikes and grow new ones in an everlasting cycle."
The Puffer Man will begin to spawn in River, as well as Black Crystal.
The Puffer Man has 70 HP, and when killed will drop 5 gold, and 5 hearts. The Puffer Man moves quickly, and attacks by walking into the player stabbing them with spikes that protrude from their chest, inflicting 30 damage.
Sources and community notes
- The achievements guide lists a Bestiary Keeper achievement, so every enemy page here matters for completing the Bestiary.
- A thread of tips for the River floor (where Puffer Men begin to appear) suggests a Spike Ring, a Bullet Ring and keeping your stats high.
