Revision 2

Husks are the first enemy archetype named in the Creatures of Fatekeeper dev blog. They are described as twisted, mindless, and seemingly far from their original form. Husks are the foot-soldier layer of the enemy presence: low-individual-threat fodder that becomes dangerous in numbers and that signals the corruption mechanic the dev blog emphasizes.

Confirmed Behavior

• Twisted. Their forms are warped beyond their original shape.

• Mindless. They act on instinct or compulsion rather than tactics.

• Numerous. Implied to appear in groups; they are the presence the corruption mechanic produces in volume.

Combat Tips

• Wide swings. Axes, halberds, and two-handed weapons clear groups efficiently.

• Area magic. Multi-projectile or ricochet fire spells hit several at once.

• Handbombs. Throw a handbomb before engaging to thin numbers.

Connection to Lore

The Creatures dev blog frames husks as part of the enemy's reach beyond steel and fire. They are likely tied to the corruption mechanic that twists creatures of the wild into forms of rage and obedience. Whether husks were originally animals, people, or something else has not been confirmed.
