Combat notes
Grendel takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective for area denial and defensive setups. It is also highly vulnerable to explosions and melee attacks from metal weapons. Conversely, it is fully immune to mining drill damage and takes reduced damage from ranged turrets and certain projectile-based attacks.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making it the optimal target zone for maximizing damage output during combat. Focus fire on the head to shorten engagement duration.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Experience
- Grendel can enter a camouflaged state, becoming difficult to detect visually. Use its Hunt ability to track players across long distances.
- It launches a devastating Dive Pounce attack with 800 damage over 90 meters. Positioning and cover are critical to survival.
- The Spawn Minions ability summons additional combatants every 30 seconds. Clearing these quickly prevents overwhelming numbers.
- Grendel's Claw Shred deals 400 damage in close range with a rapid 0.25-second cooldown. Maintain distance to avoid burst damage.
