Vagrus’s At the Heart of Ruin expansion introduces many new enemies – both bestial and humanoid – and this week we’re happy to bring you one particular favorite: the Charred Shambler. These scorching Undead can be found almost anywhere in the confines of old Dvendar Tharr. When the Calamity tore the Mountains of Fire asunder, Dwarves perished by the thousands, a lot of them warriors. Later, the twisted magic that bore down on these lands reanimated their remains so that those would walk the world again and lash out toward the living. Charred Shamblers are thus destined to roam the mountains, taking their rage out on any who chance their domain. To call them predatory would be an understatement.

Though the name Shambler might imply a lack of speed typical of some Undead, these reanimated Dwarves are infused with a corrupted vigor that can make them incredibly quick in short bursts, which has proven to be the downfall of many intrepid explorers. Smoldering constantly like hot embers but never burning up, these creatures can damage most foes by simply touching them.

With all this in mind, you would do well to remain vigilant and prepared should you ever encounter them. So exercise prudence, stay cautious, stay vigilant, and conquer the wasteland!
