Caveling Shaman

The Caveling Shaman is a formidable enemy found within the Forgotten Ruins of Core Keeper. This mystical creature is characterized by its dark, earthy skin that blends seamlessly with the rocky surroundings, adorned with tribal markings that glow faintly in the dark. Standing at an average height, its hunched posture hints at a life spent in the shadows, gathering arcane energies from the ancient ruins. With piercing eyes that seem to shimmer like embers, the Caveling Shaman possesses an air of malevolence and wisdom. It wields a gnarled staff topped with glowing crystals that pulse with energy, serving as both a weapon and a conduit for its fiery spells. The Shaman's attire consists of tattered robes made from natural materials, further enhancing its connection to the earth and its elemental powers. In combat, the Caveling Shaman displays strategic behavior, often summoning its minions to distract foes while it launches devastating fireballs from a distance. With a maximum health of 408 in standard mode, it regenerates health at a rate of 50% every 5 seconds, making it a resilient opponent. Its melee attacks deal between 70 and 84 damage, while its ranged fireball can inflict between 92 and 112 damage, all while applying an additional 13 burn damage with each hit. In the hard difficulty setting, the Caveling Shaman becomes even more dangerous, boasting a maximum health of 612 and dealing increased damage with its melee and ranged attacks. Conversely, in casual mode, it has a reduced health of 204 and lower damage output, making it slightly more manageable for novice players. The Caveling Shaman's movement speed remains constant at 30, whether idle or in pursuit of its targets, allowing it to maintain pressure on players. Its presence in the Forgotten Ruins is a testament to the dangers lurking within, as it embodies the fusion of ancient magic and primal instincts, eager to defend its territory against any intruders.
