Carver Hatcher

Flying creature that fires out dirtcarvers from its body when potential prey comes close.

Hunter’s notes

Are these creatures the mothers of the dirtcarvers? They appear only loosely related. But then how do the dirtcarvers get inside of the hatchers? A confusing situation.

The notes unlock after 15 kills.

Nail hits to kill

Where it is, its HP and Geo there 2

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.
