Aspid Mother icon

Aspid Mother

Carries the eggs of its young inside its belly. Can hatch and birth its young as needed to deal with intruders.

Hunter’s notes

Shamelessly uses its own young as a weapon against its foes! Appalling, yes, but I do admire its resourcefulness. Good hunters do not always make good parents.

The notes unlock after 15 kills.

Nail hits to kill

Its 20 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).

Where it is, its HP and Geo there 7

HP and Geo are read from each scene’s own HealthManager, so they’re exact for that place. Geo with Fragile Greed follows the game’s rule: each coin size gets 20% more coins, rounded up.
